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.]

Ignoring the racism behind IQ tests for a second...
IQ can't measure intelligence, because even if you're smart as hell in one topic you can be dumb as hell in another. Hell, people in MENSA prove that themselves by paying YEARLY to validate their intelligence lmao. Gives me Peggy Hill "certified genius" vibes
Some of us need the validation because we can't do well in sports. Is every athlete a fool for paying to participate and compete in their sport? Mensa actually had a lot of special interest groups and it filters out people who don't want to have intelligent conversation.
I don't play sports and I'm not in MENSA and I somehow manage to have intelligent conversation. And non intelligent conversations cause I'm not a snob
Hobby groups are a thing that exist outside of MENSA... And you don't have to pay for them to talk to you 😱
