The highlight for me is coming up with some weird pseudoscience justification for why it’s okay to hit your kids.

The entire "the world is running out of people" meme is just an attempt to find a non-religious rationale to limit reproductive choice.

Yeah, when talking about certain countries and groups of people it's suddenly "oh no we are having overpopulation" and "[people in africa/asia/with a different skin colour from mine] need to stop breeding"

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.]
