The pinnacle of the horror of "Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality," well one of several peaks, including one that (CW: extreme techbro SV power fantasy)

turns Herminone into a zombie and then the narration makes a rhetorical argument for "ethical" necrophilia,

was when Rationalist Harry ascends to ultimate euphoria and looks out into the cosmos and sees nothing but resource nodes to exploit and turn into treats for all of the rest of time. big-yud

I couldn't even get through a sporking of HPMOR without wanting to toss my phone across the room. It figures that the self-proclaimed Most Rational People can't see the universe as anything more than a 4X game. Natural complexity is difficult to reduce to a set of KPIs.

They also can't see people are more than resources to exploit, either. Very convenient for Herminone to have that tragic death where her reanimated body could be used for Magical Realm purposes. libertarian-alert
