Yes, those ones! This "acasual" stuff that Eliezer seems to take seriously. I already saw references to a few of them, and, He-Who-Is-Not forgive me, read Roko's deleted idea on pastebin. Sigh, guess I'll just have to pre-commit against it. I will avert my eyes from the thing in the welcome thread right now, if commenters tell me that it's a good idea.
My point is: WHAT THE FLYING F*CK?! I know I'm impressionable and easily scared, but how the hell can it be?! That's not a very nice thing, to have Yellow Signs floating about in a community. Please explain. I'm 100% serious here.
Oh, and no, I won't have nightmares like that guy who was scared of the first thing I mentioned. I can forget it quickly enough if neccessary. But right now, I've talked myself into viewing it as a serious possibility. And, well, I never wanted to be in this kind of a science fiction story!
And yeah, in my infinite wisdom, I did mention that occurence on TVTropes immediately after getting hit by it...
Got more information: it seems that it's only EY and a minority of contributors are actively suppressing the (gulp) Basilisk. Still, Eliezer could well know more about the subject then all the others here combined, which is why he's so devoted to keeping it down... things aren't getting any better.
OK! OK! Get this post back to -1 and I'll delete it myself!
