[I often don't actually know what I'm predicting. I only predict things I'm going to experience, so if someone makes up their mind to tell me 'the test was successful' they don't have to tell me what the test was.]

[Okay yeah that makes sense and is somewhat deflating.]

Permalink

[Sorry, pet.]

[It's alright. Guess I'll have to join a conspiracy to know about its secrets.]

Permalink

[What kind of conspiracy would you like to belong to?]

Permalink

[A conspiracy of people figuring out all the best way to use appropriately motivated and specialized eclipsed in large scale prosocial projects.]

Permalink

[How big does this conspiracy have to be?]

Permalink

[I'm not too picky.]

Permalink

[Then I have good news for you.]

Permalink

[Is it that we are the conspiracy.]

Permalink

[And here I thought I was the precog.]

Mental giggle. [We're not really a conspiracy, though! It is totally not a secret what we're up to.]

Permalink

[Mnemosyne was temporarily a secret!]

Permalink

[Granted.]

Permalink

[We'll think of another secret thing sooner or later, I bet.]

Permalink

[Being a benevolent conspiracy kinda gives the wrong incentives for that, though, I think.]

Permalink

[Well, naively benevolent conspiracies would want more people joining their ranks and helping and stuff. It's the principle behind charities!]

Permalink

[Depends on how useful new people can be, and whether not being secret is even helpful to getting ahold of the useful people as opposed to random schmoes.]

Permalink

[But word-of-mouth can be pretty limited.]

Permalink

[Secrecy is like the opposite of word of mouth. If you wanna recruit somebody, talk to them, don't hope your friends know their friends.]

Permalink

[Right, yes, that's what I meant. It's even worse! We're just two, what are the odds we'll be serendipitous like that again?]

Permalink

[...you know there are other ways to become aware of people?]

Permalink

[Well sure but that requires them to already have done notable things.]

Permalink

[True...]
