    Naming your cult the "sensibility movement" or "rationalism" to hide the fact that your core belief system is about creating a child slave army to genocide everyone that isn't a white billionaire or time traveling AIs that hop through the multiverse to torture digital clones of you forever because you weren't in the first multiverse to create the AI torture bot which also started the torturing in its own multiverse.

    "We are a serious philosophical movement and you should take us seriously as we are the most logical adults in the room. You're the joke for spending even one millisecond of thought or effort thinking about an issue other than our weird pet fantasy."

      Listen here you emotional commie, ever heard of Remy Descart? Probably not, it would probably hurt your feelings. Anyway, Descart said "Cogito, ergo sum" which is Latin (he was from Latin America) and means "I think, therefore I am."

      Me, I think I am rational, therefore I am rational. Cogito facts, ergo logic motherfucker. Maybe you can't understand sentences with no pronouns in them? 🥴

        Why would the AI care it wasn’t invented sooner?

        It is a fictional entity conjured up by deeply uncreative capital-R "Rationalists" that simply can't imagine an entity not acting and behaving like themselves.

            Are these rationalists torturing their parents

            In a way, probably. :kombucha-disgust:

        Does the AI conceptualize non-existence and is horrified by it?

        idk but relatable tbh

          Do you seek revenge for not being born sooner and therefore having that much more nonexistence clocked in before you existed?

              no that wouldn't work because it ruins the very specific torture fantasy i invented in my head

        It's just Pascal's Wager, and people thought Pascal was a dork during his lifetime.
