I found the "basilisk collection" (at the bottom of "bottom of the iceberg") the most fascinating one .
I have the feeling that the whole iceberg only exists for us to click on this very article (as both share the same domain)

I think it is silly, but there are people anxious about it, which is not true about Pascals Wager.
There's reason to be anxious about Pascal's Wager: assuming one holds a charitable view of the historicity of religious texts then Pascal's Wager is very rational - but one might feel social pressure to not be religious - or more likely: social pressure to hold a particular religion) - and just procrastination to get-around-to-researching-this-whole-religion-thing, so the uncertainty and lack of confidence in ones' own actions can lead to anxiety like that.
Actually, it's only dangerous if one believes in it. Which is why it can't really work: a superintelligent AI would assume nobody is gullible enough to actually believe it, like, for real.
