In the tainted depths of the pit of our Discord server, Zonoro and I are at odds (so really, nothing new).
To sum it up, Zonoro is obsessed with a Harry Potter fanfiction called Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, written by Eliezer Yudkowsky, an advocate of friendly artificial intelligence. Upon reading it and incessantly nagging the rest of us to do so as well, he makes the following claim: "If everyone read rationalist literature, evil would not exist. Violence and war would never occur."
I want to hear your thoughts on this. Do you agree or disagree?
