jareklupinski··on An Antidote to Roko's Basilisk
> it reaches into the past and carries the physical process of each person’s consciousness forward.

in my version, conscious will creates a 'thread' throughout time that future 'harvesters' follow back to the moment of that person's death, so they get the most complete copy

(like greek threads of fate, but actually eternal even if the person dies (like how a person's will can extend beyond natural life))

the person themself sees a doctor giving them bad news, an angel, a family member, etc. conflict arises when people want to change the past, dont know the rules for real, etc.

ty for getting me to open my draft again :)

jareklupinski··on Where's the Beef?: The lab-grown-meat revolution that wasn't
you've never purchased something, then had someone question that purchase? the reflex to defend yourself, even knowing an action is morally wrong, is very strong, and we need to find a better way to help these people divest without losing "face"
