For future reference, whenever anybody says "I've got a secret" I strongly desire to learn that secret, especially if it's prefaced with "ooh, and the secret is potentially dangerous" (because "dangerous" translates to "cool"), and I expect that I'm not alone in this.

Yeah, I feel the same way. Fortunately, this particular secret is not hard to figure out once you know it's there, several LWers have done so already. Knowing your work on LW, I would expect you of all people to solve it in about 30 seconds. That's assuming you already understand UDT, indirect normativity, and Roko's basilisk. If you don't, it's easy to find explanations online. If you understand the prerequisites but are still stumped, PM me and I'll explain.
