a book about how technology is a moral good, unconditionally, therefore it must be accelerated and interference with that imposes tyranny. no-one is allowed to complain about industrialization or indulge themselves in a lesser mode of existence, and the culture that does modernize the fastest is necessarily supreme.

Please read the book, if you want to criticize it. In the book elves deliberately suppress technological development of men to maintain their own hegemony. And Mordor is not portrayed like some unconditional good, just as an ordinary state that was dehumanized by its enemies as part of genocidal campaign against it.

perhaps you'd like harry potter and the methods of rationality.

I read it and it was okay-ish, if you can tolerate high levels of libness.

he can almost single-handedly unlock the true potential of magic with his fellow slytherins

Please don't make me defend this book, but it is obvious that you heard some massive misrepresentation of the plot.

he goes on other romps such as him enthusiastically describing how he'd dismember his schoolmates for improvised weapons should he need to defend himself.

lesswrong pattern utilitarians are really dangerous. they might act like they want to help the most people they can but they have no limits to what they'd sacrifice for their maximizations. eugenics, nukings to protect datacenters or the virtual 10^kajillion superhuman citizens of "the vast and glorious cosmic future", lobotomizing the public to improve the efficiency of pleasure, and they'd never ask permission if they had the power. don't let them fool you

Look, I agree with you that they are pretty much techbro equivalent of priests, whose ideology revolves about justifying billionaire rule, but please don't make stuff up, when criticizing then, it is counterproductive.
