My understanding is that this vegan/data scientist death cult is terrified of Roko’s Basilisk, but they chose to become the Basilisk.

We should introduce them to Kim’s Basilisk.

It’s the same concept except the Basilisk will want you to have built global communism.

Given the powers of Juche necromancy, it’s without question that it will in fact be you brought back to life.

for sure i agree, it’s just this isn’t the basilisk post i think you were trying to comment on this is the trans nonbinary vegan stabbing landlords with a katana post so the comment isn’t hitting the right audience

Naw, these are just the thoughts I had when I learned about the Zizian cult and wanted to get them out there. I think it belongs in this thread 🤷‍♀️

Oh actually also I thought about how, in the web serial Worm, there’s an immortal angel-machine called Ziz that simulates the future and past in her mind and uses that to kill and torture people and destroy cities and drive people insane and shit. Might be a coincidence??

i think you nailed it with the Worm connection, i searched it and this reddit poster who says they know ziz chose the name from Worm via “indirect personal communication” (whatever that means)
