ah yes so he's up to making aircraft carrier floating libertarian treehouse rube goldberg mad max platform out of pykrete

One idea for the bottom of the iceberg is to erect a grid of airtight barriers on the bottom of the berg, with cells a few dozen meters wide and a few meters tall and blow air bubbles into them

this makes this grid having to support several tons of buoyancy force, it will have to be airtight but also its connection to ice will have to be so, and ice will probably deform over time. did all of these motherfuckers dropped out of middle school?

    look, i think it's up to all of us to have the imagination and foresight to support roko in this fabulous and important endeavour. we could lure patri friedman onto the same ice floe, for example, by the simple expedient of putting up a yellow and black flag with "no steppy on snek"

    nah, he'll never get there

    all he can possibly do is to beg for money from givewell or whatever it's called, then release a shitcoin to fund it, run a few prediction markets and hopefully at some point money cops will catch him
