Moloch

Moloch is the personification of terrible systems or situations in society that everyone hates but don't get fixed.

Originally the name of a Canaanite god which received child sacrifices, Allen Ginsberg used Moloch to symbolize the state of industrial civilization in his poem "Howl".

The blogger Scott Alexander popularized the term as it is commonly used by many rationalists, although it was already in occasional use by historians and economics to describe systemic issues within or caused by their respective fields.

The term is often used by particularly condescending rationalists to talk down to public servants, academics, and occasionally founders of startups who are trying their best to change the world for the better but likely have no real power to do so.
Very often with capitalism, business practices are set by Moloch: No one person has any influence over the matter.

Oh, you're in welfare policy research? I thought Moloch had already eaten all the value there.

Moloko Vellocet

Milk laced with a drug. In the book, A Clockwork Orange, milkbars would sell milk instead of alcohol so that they could serve minors. The milk would be laced with "designer drugs." Note that in real life milk is not a very effective delivery system for most psychoactive drugs.
The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom. Moloko Vellocet is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence.
