I realize this isn't your post, but

Men don't want to fight. They want to win. And since not everyone can win, and winning is work, many men simply fold back to living boring peaceful lives, pretending that it's society that is depriving them of their God-given right to die a glorious death in battle with its dastardly emasculating ways

I think lots of us just enjoy the game.

The thought about revealed preferences is bang on though.

But if there isn't a clearly defined end goal/utility function, then how can will I fit this information into my rationalist ~~fanfic~~ world model?

/unsneer though the comment was overall sobering to read, it's good to know that not everyone on that site is insane.

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
