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 would be fascinated to hear from kinksters who have run similar events.
They are keen on controlling contact and fluid-borne infections, but don't talk about airborne infection control. Rationalists have a "COVID is over and RSV sounds like a Linux distro" party line which separates them from alienated nerds I know.
Events I attend which combine alcohol and a risky physical activity have a one-drink maximum, or once you drink alcohol no more playing for you, not a subjective "Don’t drink too much."
I've never been to such an event, let alone tried to organize one, but I've socially known various people who've done them (kink but not CNC, to my knowledge) and a few sex workers who did kink professionally, and my guess is that alcohol just would not be allowed. You don't do Jägerbombs before trying a climbing wall, and you don't bring a substance that impairs judgment and worsens coordination to your sex party, for goodness' sake.
