That was beautiful. And funny. I don't think I've ever laughed and cried simultaneously before. Not at the same thing anyway.

Just... wow.

I printed that out and put it on my bedroom wall at one point.

There must be ways to make the risk of uFAI similarly salient. Are there psychological tricks that help to consistently process far mode dangers in near mode instead? All of a sudden I wish I'd paid more attention to Hanson's near/far posts. Oh well, there's tons of time.

I cried when I first saw this. Reading the rest of the storyline ruined it for me.

That's not the end of the story, however. (This is also why the omniscience clause is important in the theodicy argument.)

That brought a tear to my eye.

It is unfortunate I cannot upvote this multiple times. Truly beautiful.

Beautiful.

As a long standing Minus fan (I have a print on my wall), I've always wondered whether that was a FLCL reference.
