This is mainly what I want to know. From the comments on this post, it looks like W_N claims to have (read: geniunely has, geniunely thinks he has, or trolls as though he has) come across something he can’t tell people about—a basilisk, some conspiracy-theory-type information, something.
Would you have written the same comment if the header of this site wouldn’t read “a community blog devoted to refining the art of human rationality” but instead “computational theology”?
No, but that’s a fallacious comparison. The header does in fact read “a community blog devoted to refining the art of human rationality,” and I’m here because I want to read that kind of site.
Also, I’ve read some of Will’s “computational theology” blog. His posts there seem to consist of actual reasoning and logic and such, whereas over here his posts on the same general topic tend toward “I’ve got a big secret I’m not going to tell you, so there, nyaah.” (My apologies if this is an unfair representation, but that’s the impression I’ve formed.)
