I would like to think that people who have the answer for each question in their FAQ open in a new tab aren't competent enough to do much of anything. This is probably wishful thinking.
Just to mention a science fiction handling.... John Barnes' Daybreak books. I think the books are uneven, but the presentation of civilization-wrecking as an internet artifact is rather plausible.
Not only that, they're talking about damaging civilization and they have an online FAQ in the first place. They fail Slytherin forever.
r/Fitness does a weekly "Moronic Monday", a judgment-free thread where people can ask questions that they would ordinarily feel embarrassed for not knowing the answer to. I thought this seemed like a useful thing to have here - after all, the concepts discussed on LessWrong are probably at least a little harder to grasp than those of weightlifting. Plus, I have a few stupid questions of my own, so it doesn't seem unreasonable that other people might as well.
