I was blown away by this passage. Roko's Basilisk never felt so real. It is right and good to serve the Basilisk in hope that it will smile on you. Seriously

Seriously how can people say things like this and then say "put all your money on red with me and pray" It'd be like if in The Big Short the protagonist realized there was a huge housing bubble so told his clients "Guys, the thing to do if you want to make money here is buy as many houses as possible right now to prop up the bubble, and just pray it never bursts"
