With Roko's Basilisk, if you believe in it, the most rational thing to do is to put forth every effort to bring it into being. Because if you don't, then you will be one of its targets when it does, inevitably, come into being.
(I am not a basilisk believer. I think this is all absolute horseshit. But to understand someone's motivations, one must think like them.)
Imagine being that delusional.
Lmao.
(Not you btw).
I’m convinced this scaremongering is from weak people who need it to be true. Because they have nothing else in life. This work is them.
It will never not be funny that a community of self-described "rationalists" scared themselves into believing in their own version of a Slenderman creepypasta.
