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.]

I don't think we need to go as far as evopsych here... it may just be an artifact of modeling the environment at all - you learn to model other people as part of the environment, you re-use models across people (some people are mean, some people are nice, etc).

Then weather happens, and you got yourself a god of bad weather and a god of good weather, or perhaps a god of all weather who's bipolar.

As far as language goes it also works the other way, we over used these terms in application to computers, to the point that in relation to computers "thinking" no longer means it is actually thinking.
