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.]

Ooh, pants-on-head stupid semantics nonsense detected.

First, the government needs to be run top-down from the Oval Office. This is why we call it the “executive” branch. “Executive” is a literal synonym of “monarchical”—from “mono,” meaning “one,” and “archy,” meaning “regime.” “Autocratic” is fine too. The “executive branch” is the “autocratic branch,” or should be if English is English. Libs: if these words don’t mean what they mean, what do they mean?

Executive, as in pertaining to execution. Executing the the duties of a government as defined by legislation. Where the fuck did Curtsy get the impression that "executive" is somehow synonymous with "monarchical"? Did he mix it up with "exclusive"? Even corporations often have multiple executives with different roles.

Mr. Thiel you have so much fucking money couldn't you afford a fascist philosopher king who is more intelligent than this guy who thinks an "executioner" is a guy that makes you a dictator?

Did he just pull a "according to the dictionary"? Sorry Moldbug, you just are radically uncool no matter how many leather jackets you get.

Wait, late realization. So, if we are doing this, does this mean Moldbug is now on the side of the SJWs regarding the slave/master debate in regards to hardware? It is after all, literal slavery now, NRx: if these words and your logic don’t mean what they mean, what do they mean?

(Don't take this as me being anti renaming the slave/master shit).

No, he's in favor of human slavery, so he still wants to keep naming schemes evocative of it.
