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 somehow missed this one until now. Apparently it was once mentioned in the comments on the old sneerclub but I don't think it got a proper post, and I think it deserves one.

My personal belief is that most pedophiles can be put into two groups:

Those developmentally stunted, who can't see themselves as adults and therefore lust for people of their own 'mental age'.

And those who have a thing for power, and having an erection over controlling a minor, guiding them through everything and having full control over them.

There may be a third option - these people who try hard to argue that pedophilia and ephebophilia aren't the same thing, but I just write them off as idiots.

idk, people who are otherwise totally unremarkable seem to be pedos. it really seems more like any other variation in human sexuality except that it's profoundly harmful

It is a registered anomaly, a disorder, that deserves counseling. It just so seems we don't hear much from people legitly strugling from it, but from rich people not knowing what to do with their free time besides fucking kids.

@andrew_bidlaw For most people who suffer from paedophilia in the ICD-11 sense (which is a mental health disorder) and undergo years of treatment and therapy while living in terror that they might one day give in to their own instincts and do something unspeakable… it’s not surprising they prefer to not give interviews.

Yudkowsky is pretty open about being a sexual sadist

@GorillasAreForEating @andrew_bidlaw

Yes, but, having now put that image into our minds, what does that make *you*?

I did not. Got any details?

Also FWIW I discovered this yesterday: https://archive.ph/SFCwS

No idea if it's true, but even if so I don't think it would exonerate him (though it would put Aella in a worse light)

first of us to give in and get an Urbit account clearly gets the best dirt

I made one out of morbid curiosity years ago but this was way before they decided to start crypto grifting for cash, so I’ve got no doubt my blah blah self-sovereign something something decentralized mumble mumble digital property has been liquidated by the king for not paying taxes
