The common name comes from the Romans, who ate them as a delicacy.

I think the better solution is to simply set up a filter for the word "Unsubscribe".

There is a very distinct double standard when it comes to the candidates and what the media and citizens focus on. Kamala has to be flawless and Trump gets a "Trump will be Trump" attitude.

There is the doomerism timeline. "Well, it's too late now, no reason to change anything now!".

Doomerism is just an evolution of binary thinking.

Pascals wager is more about belief in any effectively omnipotent being who is threatening you. I agree with OP that Rokos basilisk is a form, or at least in the same family, of the wager.

If anything, it strengthens one of my key arguments against the wager - there are an infinite number of potential God's with different conditions on why they will punish. Picking out any particular god to follow for any reason is simply nonsense.

Not sure how you are defining nepotism here.

Your mindset is that kids are somehow encapsulated and isolated property and not full individuals who are lacking any real agency, who will grow up as member of the community to the quality that their upbringing allowed them.

Spending money on ensuring children have healthy and safe childhoods is both the easiest moral and easiest social financial decision of all time.

Children cannot decide to be alive, they cannot decide the environment they are in, they cannot decide their parents, or make any reasonable effort to change those circumstances. It doesn't matter what decisions their parents make or made, we still have a choice to either let those without agency suffer or not.

Beyond that, if you have the moral backbone of some worm, then think about this: children who grow up financially secure result in adults who are simply more productive and less costly than those who are not. To the point where an adult who had that security during childhood will easily contribute far more than it cost for that security. They are already earning their keep.
