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.]

You’re an effective altruist? Say what you think about eugenics right now 🔫
I'll bite: eugenics cannot be ethically forced. It must be a cultural and voluntary choice by those impacted to not contribute the identified negative genetic trait through procreateation.
Fucking Richard Dawkins has lately been going around saying eugenics work it's just kind of unethical, we'll probably get to see a lot of this kind of guy around sadly.
Also people individually and voluntary making reproductive choices is not eugenics, as evidenced by how no one normal actually gives a shit if you are choosing to have children or not. Although I get it's just OP's libertarian brainrot that makes them think "state-enforced sterilisation of undesirables" can be interchangeable with everyone ~~magically~~ culturally and voluntarily agreeing to do this one cool thing.
