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.]

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

No, they're counting on not spending time with their children. Their worldview is all about populating, not educating.

In fact, if you pester any of these people how they would plan to educate all these millions of new children you'll quickly find out that either:

That is actually not planned for at all (hand waving).
They actually only want certain (White people of means) to be having lots of kids.

Or option 3: they subscribe to the mudsill theory, under which education will no longer be wasted on the lower orders of society, whose lot is to die in harness.
