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 think even the Rationalists realize that science will solve all solvable problems, and time travel is not a solvable problem. That is why they would just simulate it all and consider it the same as the OG thing. "I made a non-interactive time travel machine that allows you to go back in time and look how WW2 went. You should see this! Saving Private Ryan starts playing."

I cut out the whole tech step and I'm simulating all the orgies I'm having in my mind right now!
