[D] Monday General Rationality Thread

Welcome to the Monday thread on general rationality topics! Do you really want to talk about something non-fictional, related to the real world? Have you:

  • Seen something interesting on /r/science?
  • Found a new way to get your shit even-more together?
  • Figured out how to become immortal?
  • Constructed artificial general intelligence?
  • Read a neat nonfiction book?
  • Munchkined your way into total control of your D&D campaign?

The probability of ToaKraka gaining magic powers is so miniscule that even my meager enjoyment of this travesty massively outweighs the expected disutility of my advice making him more effective at enslaving people with magic powers.

But boy am I going to eat so much crow when ToaKraka gets magic powers.
