“In the new version of Newcomb’s problem, you have to choose between a box containing the world of My little babyeater: Friendship is infanticide and a box containing an Unfriendly upload of Robin Hanson.”

“This may sound a bit crazy right now, but hear me out: the Least Convenient Possible World is isomorpic to quantum infanticide.”
“Humanity is an aspiring matrochika brain.”
“That which can be destroyed by a timeless upload of Pinkie Pie should be.”
Oh my god this was even better
