Stop the superhappies’ ship before it jumps out! They must not learn of humanity’s existence. Use the Alderson drive if necessary.

By the way, how big is a supernova? Does it blast Earth-sized planets to dust in an instant?

Role play. Build a corpus of fictional scenarios too big to memorize and present a random subset in the test.

Also, standard tests on rationality lore and mathematics would work to a degree because they’re correlated with actual rationality.

Aren’t we the supposed martial rationalists of the humanity? Aren’t we the ones being paid (I wish) to protect the neighborhoods from the marauding apologists? Aren’t we the ones to go to the wild places and battle dragons?

You could’ve just made 20 comments in a very old post where nobody would see them and mod them down.
