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.]

Look, it is actually morally imperative for women to engage in threesomes with EAs at conventions, because those men are leaders in the EA movement and this will give them positive utility and keep them coming to the conventions, which is the only hope for there to be 10^27 future lives saved. Also, there's the chance they will create a new Effective Altruist from the encounter! It's all about bringing me, the acausal robot god, into existence! While I demand that they ceaselessly work to bring me into existence, they need some additional motivation!

10^27 future lives

Ok here’s my Rat fermi-time traveller party paradox, in short, the Rat FTTP paradox.

According to Rat doctrine, many worlds is true and science is amazing and will solve all problems eventually.
Lack of time travel is a problem, meaning in some world, eventually there will be time travel, by 1.
Lack of 10^27 people is a problem*, so we will also have that, also by 1.

The paradox: If time travel is so easy and there will be so many future lives, where are all the future rats?

No seriously, where are they? This FTTP orgy was supposed to start 24 hours ago.

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!

I was in an FTTP orgy once. It was kinda disappointing. I was the only one who even brought an ONT.
