if i wouldn't know from @titotal@awful.systems that it's undoubtfully a manor house, i'd think it's a fucking castle.

(btw, did we ever hear back from the person after they decided to go full tescreal on their popular website?)

I think the whole house / castle thing is another one of those annoying Rationalist things. The desire to be technically correct in such a way that the big picture disappears, if you call it a castle or not it isn't important. And stuff like this leads to pretty shitty places, so you end up having long posts over 'is testing yourself for genetic diseases eugenics or not' while missing the bigger picture that the people who are having this discussion with you want to normalize eugenics again.

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.]
