    this is borderline.

    there’s a point where we can argue that the US has shit standards for food safety. and there’s arguing that chemicals names are scary.

    plus, he’s a bit of a weirdo with the Rocco’s Basilisk and his weird harry potter fanfiction

      i assure you, there is much weirder harry potter fanfiction out there. i once read a Hogwarts Castle/Giant Squid smut fic.

      Also, pretty sure a fellow named Roko came up with the basilisk, not Yudkowsky.

        the Roko’s basilisk was from his forum, true, not directly his idea, but hes sort of related.

        he is just a guy that sometimes, I hear wierd stuff and then I am not surprised hes involved in that.

        That harry potter fan fic is weird, because instead of smut or shipping, it’s like what if Harry Potter was a humanist philosoper instead if a normal child with magic powers.
