Categorical imperative is escape enough for me. Don’t assume it has been built, nobody in their right mind would do such a thing. Everything else is giving in to fear, panic and selfishness because spooky sci-fi devil computer.
Oh yea I mean I was joking, the whole idea of the basilisk is comically stupid to me. Mostly because of the absolute impossibility of constructing one. If we take for granted that such a thing could exist, then it makes a lot more sense to be afraid of. But I see no way for that to happen. I don’t see how the categorical imperative relates though - would be interested in hearing some explanation on your thinking there.
Well we have to try to lie to ourselves to convince ourselves we don’t believe in it otherwise there’s no escape
