I’m not sure that applies to Roko’s basilisk; as I’ve mentioned elsewhere, there are particular reasons to think it would be more likely to want some things than others. Yes, maybe there’s an element of chaos, but that doesn’t prevent there being a rational way to act in response to the possibility of acausal blackmail. And maybe that way is to give in. Can you see a good reason why it isn’t? A reason robust to descending a long way into the logical mire surrounding the thought experiment?
