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.]

It should be noted here that he is using Newspeak wrong. Newspeak was a simplified language in which everything was reduced to simple dichotomies. The whole pronouns thing (and the whole hidden iceberg of NB/transphobia/etc related to that) is something which newspeak would to enforce. The inability to differentiate between sex/gender/gender assigned at birth/seeing gender as a spectrum and reducing it all to man vs female is newspeak.
He didn't understand the book, read the additional material about newspeak, or even glance at the wikipedia page about newspeak.
Wonder if anybody on LW even noticed. (Yes, im implicitly calling them bad nerds here). (A ctrl-f later, doesn't seem anybody noticed. Seems nobody also noticed that we have moved to awful.systems).
@Soyweiser Must be the earlier discarded version of Newspeak where instead of compressing the vocabulary to make nuance impossible to convey they did the opposite. It worked okay until a Party member was heard by a 10 year old Junior Spy describing Big Brother as “a doubleshit maxipompous arsetalker” and was last seen being beaten senseless by the Thought Police.
