I've always favored the quote:
"Ignorance is never better than knowledge." --Enrico Fermi
(This is supposed to be sourced in the book "Atoms in the Family: My life with Enrico Fermi", but I can't find the quote via Google Books, and it's a fair drive to the nearest library that has it.)
Not never.
I'm not saying that basilisks can't exist, but as of writing they don't exist. (And yes, I've found and read LW's 'basilisk').
I knew that this quote would get this sort of response...
Have you also read Bostrom's paper? (I would now point out the example of spoilers for fiction works, but then you might reply by pointing out the study finding that spoilers make fiction works more enjoyable for the average person. OTOH, not all people are average.)
Maybe you should have addressed this concern in advance?
I'm tapping out now.
