Every now and then someone brings up #EffectiveAltruism, #TESCREAL, #RokosBasilisk, #Rationalism, or some other #Musk related nonsense. I ridicule it, or laugh, and move on. The whole evil god of Roko's Basilisk is so silly it doesn't feel worth writing about. But people started a whole cult over it and killed a bunch of people.

Since then I've been meaning to actually spend time tearing it down. So I think it's time to go kill a god. Fortunately it involves making fun of Elon Musk specifically and all the #AI-pilled #TechBros more generally, so that's nice I guess.

Also, I make the argument that we're all in a simulation that only exists to torture Elon Musk.

It's getting ridiculous out there.

I mean just the other day I saw these lumberjacks using chainsaws. CHAINSAWS. What's wrong with good old axes?

Next thing you know they'll be using industrial equipment and giving them fancy names like "Forestry Harvesters", and these guys who just sit around all day twiddling with joysticks will still have the nerve to call themselves lumberjacks!

It's like... is that even wood anymore?
