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.]

the fuckin make a wish foundation is more effective than EA
I can't think of a more productive charity for helping make-a-wish donors and the parents of dying children feel better about the world.
Also with Desert Bus for Hope on the horizon I want to use this space to (probably unnecessarily) point to Child's Play. It's almost not utilmaxxing, but I know when I was in hospital as a kid the little cart with a Nintendo 64 on it was the only time I felt like an actual kid instead of a science experiment or hurt. I'm willing to forgive a lot of lost net utils to give that to others going through it.
the donkey people may not have picked their cause because it was the most rational, but that doesn't seem to have stopped them from coming up with good ideas. it's almost as if people can be more effective when they're working for causes they're emotionally connected to....
