The basilisk idea has no positive value. All it does is cause those who understand it to bear a very low probability of suffering incredible disutility at some point in the future.

I understand that but do not see that the description applies to the idea in question, insofar as it is in my opinion no more probable than fiction and that any likelihood is being outweighed by opposing ideas. There are however other well-founded ideas, free speech and transparency, that are being ignored. I also believe that people would benefit from talking about it and possible overcome and ignore it subsequently.

But I'm tired of discussing this topic and will do you the favor to shut up about it. But remember that I haven't been the one who started this thread. It was Roko and whoever asked to delete Roko's comment.
