Roko's basilisk

RE: Roko's basilisk
Haha, those guys at less wrong are quite the characters.
I think the basilisk's problem is that the command can be reversed, and still be possibly true , for example, that there is a possibility of a being that demands that you, at all costs, attempt to stop it's creation or x happens (being tortured in a virtual realm for infinity).
Plato had defined Man as an animal, biped and featherless, and was applauded. Diogenes plucked a fowl and brought it into the lecture room with the words,

"Behold Plato's man!"
