Upvoted both the parent and the grandparent because I was nervous having no clue what was going on, looked at the basilisk, and would rather I hadn't. I'm not clever/imaginitive enough to be sure why I shouldn't have done it, but it was still a dumb move. I'm glad the thing was censored and I applaud leonhart for being sensible.

I'm not clever/imaginitive enough that I shouldn't have done it, if people really shouldn't do it. On the other hand, if I somehow find out people who have done it are taking drastic actions that would worry me enough to make further investigations, but as far as I can tell I'm probably better off knowing if that's the case (I think, depending on how altruistic those people are, what EY and the SIAI can actually do, how many worlds/"quantum immortality" work etc) Quite honestly it's far less of a worry to me than more mundane friendliness failures.
