Rokos Basilisk - Tumblr Posts

Nope. See, it’s going to create a simulation of you, and torture that. Which you care about because reasons.

it never stops being funny to me how dumb of a thought experiment Roko’s Basilisk is and how many people who think of themselves as very smart had breakdowns over it

okay but like, this is an actual problem artists have been having, like people don't even always believe artists when they say they drew it themself anymore

Job application To Sinestro: here is why I would make a good yellow lantern. Pls hire me.

I have a strong imagination and no qualms about how I use it ( @catboy-pentheus I'm sure he will back me up as this being true ) meaning I will be able to create varied light constructs, make use of my powers in a wide range of scenarios and adapt to challenges.

I would like to be a yellow lantern specifically because all of the other damn colours need me to experience a specific emotion whereas the yellow lantern ring requires that I instill fear in others. This means I can be enjoying the thrill of combat or planning my retreat and either way I will be at maximum effectiveness

How will I elicit fear for my terrible schemes?

I will go to planets and I will return once per year ( unless I roll a 1 on a dice in which case I will leave it but kill twice as many the next year letting the suspense rise further) too painfuly kill two people

The person most afraid of me and the person least afraid of me

That way people will be scared of the fact that they are scared but also scared of not being scared enough

>:)

Then I will broadcast it all over the planet for everyone to watch but they will only get to see one and I will tell them that the other one is worse

In other words I will be very scary and villainous indeed

>>:)

Also I will tell them all about Rokos Basilisk
