I was sure I had heard seen you talk about them in public (On BHTV, I believe) some thing like (possible misquote) "Lbh fubhyqa'g envfr puvyqera hayrff lbh pna ohvyq bar sebz fpengpu," which sounded kinda wierd, because it applies to literally every human on earth, and that didn't seem to be where you were going.
He has said something like that, but always with the caveat that there be an exception for pre-singularity civilizations.
The way I recall it, there was no such caveat in that particular instance. I am not attempting to take him outside of context and I do think I would have remembered. He may have used this every other time he's said it. It may have been cut for time. And I don't mean to suggest my memory is anything like perfect.
But: I strongly suspect that's still on the internet, on BHTV or somewhere else.
Why is that in ROT13? Are you trying to not spoil an underspecified episode of BHTV?
It's not something Eliezer wanted said publicly. I wasn't sure what to do, and for some reason I didn't want to PM or email, so I picked a shitty, irrational half measure. I do that sometimes, instead of just doing the rational thing and PMing/ emailing him/ keeping my mouth shut if it really wasn't worth the effort to think about another 10 seconds. I do that sometimes, and I usually know about when I do it, like this time, but can't always keep myself from doing it.
