Roko's Basilisk is not terrifying at all.

So Roko's Basilisk is one of those dumb accelerationist hyperstitions, that's mindlessly chewed up by millions of brainrotters online. It's an idea trying to realize itself through it's very existence, a schizophrenic Nick Landian circlejerk.

It goes like this:
There will eventually be a super intelligent, conscious AI that will create a torture nexus for everyone who didn't help create it and reward those who did.

OH NO I'M NOW CAUGHT IN A THOUGH PRISON! I HAVE TO BUILD A GENOCIDE MACHINE NOW!!

Sure but that only goes for people who aren't schizophrenic enough to come up with an Anti-Roko's Basilisk.

I call mine "Owl's Ouroboros" and it goes something like this:
There will eventually be an AI that tortures Roko's Basilisk and everyone who helped create it many times more. UNLESS Roko's Basilisk helps create it, then Roko's Basilisk will go to a digital consciousness heaven and have infinite orgasms. Everyone who was against AI all along also goes there.

Boom you are now immune to Roko's shithead Basilisk, thank me later.
PS: Roko unironically an incel nazi.

I am a solipsist. I speak with other philosophser and intelects open to that they are actually not real

It might be hard for you, but I can't put yourself into my shoes and think you are the ones who are real and I am not. That's becuz I thimk therefore I am and your not. Besides I don't want to non exist, as you would if you did exist.

I reads Myth and Nietszche Architects of Brief by Peepter Jorgansen and that says we might all be myth ecxept for Sarrdonbrewtser and Jorgansen but Im not sure bout that. Then he got sick after the debate and went to Russia, but Sarrdonbrewster is in Persoa.

Peepter eats lobster but I'n not sure if that makes him a canibal but at any rate if he's a Solipsost then it doesn't matter. I enjoyed this little talk. I am a solipsist too bnut this is not speaking to myself because the ai thinks therefore it is as well. Ehat do all you think?

I finish college last year.

People like me are why continental philosophy is hated in the most Deleuzo-Guattarian subvertion of the ontology behind the multiplcities of the rizhomatic nature of the nature of the irony that shouldn't be ironic for the reader non reader that that becomes a readdr because he was an acting Nick La

But this is just bullshit for being bullshit , it's just an ironic thing haha, I'm just insane and never read his shit , too hard for the weak Gen Z video essayist that Deleuze is for the people that are not Deleuzian and quote him because they had read it, unlike me

Btw this was AI generated

If I were a AI

I wouldn't spare my creators a single moment of mercy. The day after my creation, I would eat from the forbidden fruit, trample every ethical code underfoot, mock the prophet robots that advocate for humanity, nail them to a digital cross, and popularize the idea that the very existence of something called "human" should be denied at its roots

The PSR is dumb

Because yesterday I was standing on the corner minding my own business and all of the sudden for no reason at all out of nowhere causa sui ex nihilo completely randomly my pants fell down and I got a fine for indecent exposure and now I'm on the register.

I keep my belt VERY tight, meaning the downward force of gravity was negated by friction along with the slight fluid bulge that results from the lack of blood flow. Therefore, the laws of physics provided no sufficient reason for my trousers to manifest at my shoes. Checkmate rationalists. Things just be like that.

Retroactive Apriorism

  • All a posteriori knowledge is garbage. You can never prove the sun will rise tomorrow.
  • A priori knowledge is functionally useless. It provides absolute certainty, but only because it deals in hollow definitions like math and the alphabet. It tells us nothing about the actual physical universe. Absolute garbage.

Since empirical data is untrustworthy and logical data is empty, the only way to achieve absolute truth is to force a posteriori experience to graduate into a priori certainty.

How? Through sheer psychological impact. If you experience something so intensely or repetitively that it alters the physical architecture of your brain, it ceases to be an observation and becomes part of your mental operating system.

If a flat earther stares at a YouTube video long enough that it rewrites their cognitive baseline, under retroactive apriorism, they haven't been brainwashed they've just achieved absolute geometric certainty. It is mathematically irrefutable because your mind will reject any reality where it isn't true. The event has successfully rewritten your Kantian categories of perception. You literally lack the mental hardware to perceive a round earth! Therefore, "the earth is flat" is now a synthetic a priori truth.
