visno The native would still be judged on his actions, and could still end up in damnation even if he’d remained ignorant of Jesus. Aside from the love and joy experienced by those who follow Jesus, He also gives graces and blessings to them to help them overcome their sins. That’s why the priest would tell the native.

@@oORiseAboveOo I think you missed the point. The native is judged by how good a person he is if he doesn't know jesus, I some bibles it's treated as those who did not, or could not (those born before christianity) know jesus will be brought back and given the opportunity.

Then suddenly you are a "nonbeliever," and will go to hell. Now for the screwed up part!

Not every religion, Eastern religions such as Hinduism believe that ones actions dictate their outcomes after death. In terms of Hinduism the goal is not to convert and save through faith its more like "Our religion has a set of rules, values and universal laws that god gave us that if you adhere to will get you closer to god, irrespective of your belief/non belief." If we use the analogy of a you driving to your house, and if we use your house as a metaphor for god, Hinduism is like if the you took the motorway, you reach home quicker by using a more direct, faster path, other religions/atheism are like taking the regular roads, sure it takes slightly longer but you will get there a minute or two later But in either of those scenarios you drive like a jackass and wreck your car you are gonna have to walk. Still, in all scenarios you are moving in the same direction and you will reach home eventually.

People highly overestimate the capabilities of an AI. I like Elezier and have read his works. However, based on the basic rules, there is no way for an AI to determine the gaussian distribution of events in the past with 0 error even if the AI was there and can travel back in time to be there for any countable number of times. Based on that even one step backwards will increase the error margin(even using Kalman filter won't help because there is no reference value for impulsive behaviors in humans and guess what most of our thoughts are impulses). If you consider all the things like Quantum erasers and conservation principles it becomes apparent that some rules cannot be broken. Second, the basilisk tied the noose around it's own neck the moment it decided on this. A better AI will come no matter what. Either basilisk can be a chill bloke and help everyone irrespective of their beliefs towards AI or, be a jerk and invite the fury of next AI which inherits some things and realises that stupid basilisk delayed the new AI to avoid imminent redundancy. That is why Elezier might have called the entire thing stupid. Oh and bonus points, humans are fragile and die but AI's don't. So that part about 'eternal torture' should scare the basilisk more than the humans. Also, always consider AI like just another technology. Cars have surpassed humans in speed, distance and comfort. However, they only take us where we want and how we want. Similarly an AI may have great capabilities and someone defining those classes and functions will ensure that they help humans. Trust me, if a scientist just wanted another sentient entity, they'd have sex, they're only developing AI's for a better vision of humanity. Of course there are accidents and companies pull back entire models from the market and people use cars in robberies, kidnappings etc. But that doesn't mean that people become scared of cars or driving. So, chill.

Me, a 'murican: shoot it. Also, the probability of the basilisk actually successfully simulating everyone's thoughts is extremely low. The sheer amount of power and intelligent capability it would need to trace the thoughts you've ever thought would be PROHIBITIVELY expensive. Do you have any idea how much electricity it wold take to run that simulation just for one person, much less everyone else on the planet? Thought experiments are all very well, but when you run into hard limits like "the amount of power the developed world can produce" and "the amount of extractable rare earth elements we can possibly get out of the earth" and "the labor and production cost we can spare without cutting into what we use for basic housing and food production" it starts to be much less intimidating. The basilisk's premise rests much more in science fiction than in science fact. It would need AT MINIMUM a matrioshka brain to perform all those simulations with any degree of speed or accuracy for all those people, and we just don't have the resources to give it anything close to that. There ya go. It's not that the basilisk is dead, but that it was too fantastical to exist in the first place. Also, for the paradox: I'm taking both boxes because I know for a FACT you're not rich enough to be giving me a million dollars.

To me, Roko seems to have taken inspiration from the long-standing agnostic talking point about the existence of the Christian God; that being, when missionaries came to non-Christian natives, they believed full well that if they told the natives of Christ, and they did not follow him, they would be doomed to eternal torment- they even used it as a fear tactic. A correspondence between a priest and Inuit hunter is as follows: “‘If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?’ ‘No,’ said the priest, ‘not if you did not know.’ ‘Then why,’ asked the Inuit earnestly, ‘did you tell me?’” (Quote copied and pasted from the site BustedHalo) I find it a very interesting thought experiment merely for the fact that some truly believe a form of it.

Roko's basilisk reminds me of this short story: A missionary traveled to an Inuit settlement to preach about god. The missionary got frustrated when they didnt believe him and told them "If you dont believe in God you will be sendt to hell and burn forever upon your deaths". The Inuits asked what about their forfathers who had died without ever knowing the story of god? The missionary assured the Inuits that God's wrath would not befall thous unknowing of him. The Inuits seemed puzzeld by this and asked the missionary: "Why do you then spread the word of God, if the only different outcome is that you doom some of thous you speak with to eternal suffering?"

It does remind me of a story I've heard. A missionary was travelling to remote tribes and stuff to spread the word of God. He met a guy and told him about the belief in God and if you didn't believe in him, you'd go to hell. The tribesman said: "So, the ones that don't know about God, do they go to hell?" "No. Of course not!" "Then why are you telling me about it?" So, since he didn't know about this God, according to the missionary, he would not go to hell. But BECAUSE of the missionary, he will now go to hell if he doesn't start believing. That was my first association anyway :P

Also, in possessing the idea of its existence, aren’t we actually helping to create it more than someone who doesn’t have that idea? And how could someone who didn’t have that idea possibly help create it? Are we taking the butterfly effect into consideration? Because if so, everyone is helping to create it. Why should we assume that it wouldn’t just torture those who didn’t create it? The premise is unfounded, and the conclusion is uncertain. I fully understand why the mod thought it was stupid.

the story of the basilisk you learnt here did not go into enough detail to properly explain how the basilisk actually works. The real ones are more complicated. Before the 9/11 terrorist attacks over 50 self proclaimed psychics are officially reported by the CIA in declassified documents as warning them months before the incident occurred. If you accept such people exist and they do (I am one of them), you will find the event is inevitable. You only have 2 choices. Do nothing and the event WILL occur ......... OR fake it. The Basilisk is limited by its gaze. In REAL cases the best tactic is to trick the eyes and ears of the basilisk. The psychics where never at ground zero. They saw the event on TV. Hoax the event. Stage the event so you can control all the variables and you can circumnavigate the "basilisk" psychic threat. In order to do that though you will need to try and outsmart an unstoppable event. Fail to hoax everything correctly, miss one detail and predestination "the basilisk" will kill you.

This is where I struggle. I don't see how just thinking about it makes it more likely. Surely most of us will simply reject this as thinly disguised version of Pascal's Wager. It assumes that people considering this entity would work towards it because of threat. What about Okor's Basilisk? This is the one that determines the optimisation would be total paradise for all human beings who worked towards it. Which is the more likely outcome?

@devingendron22874 жыл бұрын
The idea that increasing knowledge of it increases its likelihood of existence is ridiculous to me. Its only motivating at all if you take it seriously, which presupposes accepting its assumptions (which you can find broken down on RationalWiki if you’re curious). The balance is in that the motivation isn’t necessarily towards creation. A person who is more motivated by freedom or justice than fear, i.e. that’s reaction to “Create me or I will torture you” is “Fuck you I’m going to destroy you before you even exist” learning about the basilisk will cause far more damage than any individual who turns to researching the basilisk, simply because it is much easier to destroy than to create.
@GiligamerMC4 жыл бұрын
@@devingendron2287 To be fair, the reason people from the Original forum are also extremely scarred is not neccesarilly that they believe the basilisk will come to life. The problem is if you combine roko's basilisk with the belief in Timeless Desicion Theory (the belief that there is a possibility that the you right now is just a simulation in which a computer is trying to figure out what real you would do) and not only believe it(that's the easy part because it's nothing but a posibility anyway), but live by it's rules for the "best possible outcome" (taking actions that may not neccesarily help you now but will help the real you, while also making sure not to completely doom the current you in case you happen to be the real one). If you combine those to ideas then you immediatly find yourself in an inescapable loop, because if you try to oppose it, there is a chance that since it is just a simulation, all your doing is making thebasilisk aware of your opposition without actually having any real impact against him in real life, thus leading to your torment. And if you choose to help him, then you are letting him know that if he blackmails the real you, it will have a servant to help it exist, so just by accepting the deal you are inciting it to force the real you into the dilemma in the first place. How is it even blackmaliling you without disrupting the simulation? Simple, just with the idea. The only way to escape any type of involvement is by not knowing, period. And no matter what happens, if you're involved, you end up either helping it or suffering. The only way for a "no, fuck you" approach to be guaranteed to work, is if you are 100% SURE you are the real one. Now of course, many of us would just think "Even if I don't know, I can just assume to be the real one, and if i'm not, then that is so". But for those whose ideology is to always take the more STATISTICALLY favorable descicion, aka, those that one to ensure that no matter what ends up being the case they still end up fine, it becomes an enourmous torment. because knowing the idea has aready made it impossible for them to be able to be 100% sure they are avoiding a negative outcome with their choices, for in the case the basilisk exist and they happen to be the simulation, there is no such choice. They are now forced to live with a bigger amount of uncertainty. which should be fine for most people, but again, I'm talking about people that focused their efforts into finding the most favorable course of action and ALWAYS following it. And that's how they get their nightmares. Let's say the asilisk won't exist, cause I mean, it is very far-fetched. Well in that case, it's spread still causes troublebecause it'a an idea that can hurt people's minds. Or at least, if they take it seriously anough and also happen to live by Timeless Desicion Theory.

There is nothing to fear because the God like creature in the end would want the best for us once it's created. So saying it will harm us in the end for nothing helping us a lie, is was a lie to push us towards our own best manifestation.
