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.]

My optimistic read is that maybe OP will use their newfound revelations to separate themselves from LW, rejoin the real world, and become a better person over time.
My pessimistic read is that this is how communities like TPOT (and maybe even e/acc?) grow - people who are disillusioned with the (ostensible) goals of the broader rat community but can't shake the problematic core beliefs.
Also lmfao at the first sentence of one of the comments:
maybe, but I got to "moral cuckoldry" and realised their goal was to choose being worse
Whenever I see someone saying they are freed “from the weight of “moral imperatives” and social pressures to do the right thing” my immediate assumption is that they’re about to suggest something genuinely reprehensible or, best case scenario, advocate for crabs in a bucket positions.
