Follow that train of thought to it's logical conclusion, and you end up here, via Big Yud: http://kruel.co/backup/Ontological%20Therapy.png

Still cracks me up, that page.

(BTW you should definitely read Permulation City, and the 'sequel' Diaspora. Try not to found any cults tho.)

What is this?

I get the feeling there's a joke somewhere I'm not getting that's pretty funny.

It's not a joke. It's literally someone on the verge of a psychotic break from reading too many LessWrong blogposts. Those folks aren't only into game-theoretic polyamory and shitty harry potter fanfiction, far from it.

Just because it isn't a joke doesn't mean it isn't hilarious though. Look into roko's basilisk, if you dare!

I liked HPMoR. What about it made you think it was shitty?

Thanks! Was looking for something different to read.
