I’m so used to bad rat science being expressed in obscurantist math and quantum physics jargon that the kindergarten neuro woo like “each half-a-brain has a 1 in 20 chance of being ontologically Good” and “nonbinary people have one half of their brain be transgender” throws me off.

Where are the Planck units and the h-bars, category theory, maybe something about Turing machines or Gödel? Can’t you at least throw in a square root or something? Is this all it takes to stroke the a modern STEM dweeb’s ego? I guess all the talk about “debugging” and “jailbreaking” compensates for the infantile aesthetics of the crankery.

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.]
