That's just Pascal's wager with a secular/cyberpunk reskin, and has all the same trappings. Why aren't you a monk?

- andai 4mo agoYeah. Turns out game theory is useful in games. I don't understand the monk question though.
- OkayPhysicist 4mo agoIf sci-fi Pascal's wager applies, so does the original. Anybody who believes Pascal's wager should be dedicating themselves wildly to religion, in the chance that it saves from from eternal damnation. Hence, becoming a monk.
- andai 4mo agoOh, I'm actually reverting much of the subconscious Augustinian programming (most of what we call secular ethics) to the less busted Orthodox versions, but I think that is for unrelated reasons.
