Exactly! I have tried to convey to this community various of my rationally-arrived-at beliefs, but have been shut down without a fair hearing whenever I begin explaining how all computers are secretly run by squirrels on treadmills inside them. This is an extremely important fact to this community’s purported goals of AI alignment and safety—how are you supposed to train an AI without acorns? Yet rather than engage with me and explain why they disagree with my Strategic Dog Reserve concept for safety against malign AI, they simply silently downvote my posts, either through being too lazy to engage with them, or through being in the pocket of Big Squirrel! This needs to change if this site is to live up to its professed ethics and cultivate high-quality debate.

I laughed. However you must admit that your comical exaggeration does not necessarily carry a lot of ad rem value.
