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.]

I’ve now talked to some pretty well-qualified bio PHDs with expertise in stem cells, gene therapy, and genetics. While many of them were skeptical, none of them could point to any part of the proposed treatment process that definitely won’t work.

absolutely classic crank shit

I talked to some pretty well-qualified math PhDs with expertise in analytic number theory, algebraic number theory, and geometric number theory. While many of them were skeptical, none of them could point to any part of my proposed proof of Fermat's Last Theorem that definitely won't work.

I don't think we would work out..

So you're saying I have a chance?

Classic appeal to ignorance argument in use here.

I bet all of them pointed out the multifarious ways it could not work, though, and this guy heard "it shouldn't work... but it might".

Frankly, good; he removed himself from the gene pool and we can probably learn something from his remains.

That or we all get Kronenburg'd.

let's be clear: this guy is not going to stop until he's cooked his own brain out of his skull
