Why not an evil pony?

Maybe a variation on my idea, one that denies resurrection for those who didn't help bring it into existence?

No different then than any other religion that proposes an eternal reward for preferred behavior from a superior being?

Heard about and know the plot. I was surprised by how many deep ideas I had seen before in TV series, movies and read in books that were derived from it.

Vastly underated and its on my long to-read list.

I love it.

The idea that they all exist at once and that the universe is populated with an infinite variety of insane "gods".

It might make a fun Sci-Fi plot where Roko's Basilisk and whatever I am thinking about are in some kind of eternal war over some ridiculous initial condition (which end is the correct end to crack an egg?).

The Basilisk might exist in the future, but in peril with a future uncertain (SkyNet), it feels the need to cement itself in the timeline by being more proactive.

Also, to stretch the imagination a bit, it also assumes that static timelines over dynamic timelines (Back to the Future: your photo fades, peril!) is not how this really works.

I know his work well. Greg and I went to UWA together and were members of UNISFA.

I love Diaspora.

Not really travel per se. A read-only operation of the past, just at a fidelity that we can't achieve yet.

At the point of death, your state is "copied" into the future.

Sadly, no validation of hidden layers.
