The concept of ethical injunctions is known in SIAI circles I think. Enduring personal harm for your cause and doing unethical things for your cause are therefore different. Consider Eliezer's speculation about whether a rationalist "confessor" should ever lie in this post, too. And these personal struggles with whether to ever lie about SIAI's work.
That "confessor" link is * terrific*
If banning Roko's post would reasonably cause discussion of those ideas to move away from LessWrong, then by EY's own reasoning (the link you gave) it seems like a retarded move.
Right?
If the idea is actually dangerous, it's way less dangerous to people who aren't familiar with pretty esoteric Lesswrongian ideas. They're prerequisites to being vulnerable to it. So getting conversation about the idea away from Lesswrong isn't an obviously retarded idea.
