Yes, I’ve gradually become aware of that. You make a good point. It famously tends to kill cats.

I managed to avoid a lot of that, somehow, fortunately. I know my path isn’t everyone else’s and I certainly wouldn’t wish mine on anyone. I dumped Kent Hovind and Ken Hamm and went straight to people like Carl Sagan and Mr Rogers, and made a bunch of leftist and gay friends I’d always been warned to avoid. I never understood the appeal of Jordan Peterson and his ilk.

Actually, I did still get hooked by Graham Hancock for a few weeks a while back. But I’m guarded against grandiose claims and quickly checked out his critics. Lesson learned. I may be vaccinated, but I’m not immune.

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.]
