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.]

"How dare you call us eugenicists!"
Is that top reply from Scott? And is he really saying that what is holding eugenics back for now is ethical concerns?
Well I certainly hope ethical concerns are holding back eugenics. Possibly even among the main things doing so.
I think when we say 'held back by ethical concerns' and he says 'held back by ethical concerns' it means different things.
I'm hinting at the idea that he thinks that a large field off glass would improve the view. (Based on his remark in the past that he thinks people on benefits should be sterilized).
The more you learn about the sneerclub targets, the more you see this subject come back and back again. HBD keeps propping up over and over again for example.
Is that a special case of the trolley problem - sacrificing Silicon Valley for the sake of everybody else that has to live with their decisions?
