“All of the preliminary scans showed very little overall activity, so the whole thing seemed pretty low risk,” Samson said. “Of course, we didn’t realize he was actually a citizen and resident of Malaysia. We figured he was based in the US because of the sheer amount of posts about American politics, but once we had that little wrinkle ironed out, getting the paperwork done was simple enough – no doctor seemed to care.”

Oh... That's nice...

I'm split on this. On one hand, it's not very good writing from Hard Drive, and it's fairly xenophobic as a stance. On the other hand, one of my favorite arguments against ex-USA expats is that -- by giving up their citizenship -- they gave up their right to critique the USA's actions and policies; symmetrically, I'm not sure that we need to respect the opinions of non-citizens about our internal policies, except when our actions affect the rest of the world.

Cheong likes to bitch about the local policies of the Pacific Northwest, for example, and I don't think that BC, Washington, or Oregon need to respect his opinions.

I’m a communist, I’ll criticise who I want about what they do wherever

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.]
