    As a child of the 80s I recognize the feeling of doom, but in my case it was for global thermonuclear war. I vividly remember the only thing keeping the feelings of dread away was sitting in the children’s section of the library, reading the Moomin books. I remember being most worried about having to eat the family dog after the bombs fell.

              I believe we both know, the ability to make Roko not a complete douchebag is simply beyond science.

                but with a sufficiently advanced AI, even douchebaggery may die

              No! The dude wears his heart on his sleeve! He’s writing earnest propaganda! It’s so 80s and it’s so glorious.

              Also, the Bring on the Night live album from around the same time is great too.
