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.]

Even used as a way to honestly disclose how sure you are about a hot-take... it is still a term used to frame hot-takes. And the term "Epistemic Status" feels like cult jargon compared to "here's how sure I am about this stuff"

Ow yeah, the name is just foolish. Just think the idea of disclosing how sure you are as a community norm isn't bad. Of course, they can't even do that seriously.

It's definitely become a cult signifier at this point.
