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.]

This actually brings up a good point, which we are sleeping on a bit. As a person who is a bit more 'we should sacrifice a little bit so the future can still have good things' side. The whole 'but why should we, in a scarcity environment, sacrifice this much for a post-scarcity one' thing had not really occurred to me.
Ow god I did a Rationalism, I evaluated how my own bias was holding me back. Am I out of touch? No, it's the Rationalists who are wrong.

10^80 minds is not the only possible outcome of bullshit sci-fi. Why not consider the obvious and inevitable (my crap-cassandra-muse is pre-comitted) future of humanity melding into the Single Mind Collective ?
Why should we 8 billion souls make sacrifices to improve the life of a single one?
