I voted it down for decidedly non-clever thinking about quantum suicide and a complete misrepresentation (or misunderstanding) of rational thinking. It attributes to Eliezer the complete opposite of the ‘Shut Up And Do The Impossible’ attitude that Eliezer is notorious for.
The idea of a mass quantum suicide might seem paradoxical, but of course the cultists used a special isolation chamber to prevent decoherence, so they were effectively a single observer.
That is even worse thinking about quantum suicide and further still from likely Eliezer beliefs. Eliezer endures criticism for being too liberal with his mocking of certain beliefs about QM, of which the one you are relying on is a part.

I voted it up for (I assume) cleverly, satirically representing views other people might have about the group that sound plausible to the mainstream.
