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 reality is that these ethical barricades can sometimes stifle the very progress they purport to guide, casting a shadow over what could otherwise be a platform for rich, meaningful discourse.

I bet I could make him reconsider this by arguing postmodernism proliferated in part by technological innovation. And if he believes that all technological progress is good, then so are the things that derive from it.
