"I swear to you, that in the state of information I expected you to reach without my intervention, I would also prefer the destruction of the world. I wouldn't have done it, because I decided a long time ago that it was better to be a shape that wouldn't, but I wouldn't have stopped you. Our utilities are not that different."

"For the sake of the worlds where you putting 'I swear' in front of sentences positively affects their probability of being true, could you also swear that everything you've said to me so far has been true and non-misleading?"

"I swear that everything I have said to you so far has been both true by my own model and expected to update your model of reality toward truth; I've withheld information or said things in a strategic order both to pursue my own goal of you not concluding that the world should be destroyed, and to cause you to actually update toward truth when being straightforward wouldn't have done that, but never to cause you to form a false model of reality even briefly. I furthermore swear that I behave in this way toward everyone I consider myself to be cooperating with, even if not doing so would result in better outcomes by their values and mine, and that even when dealing with declared enemies I will pay substantial costs not to lie."

"For me to properly verify myself to you the way gods can verify themselves to each other would require you to both be much smarter and have a lot of context that I am absolutely under no circumstances allowed to give you, but I think you'd probably rederive that context yourself from what you already know out of dath ilan, if you were smarter, and further conversation should, accordingly, wait until then."

"I'm in fact reluctant to introduce potentially personality-altering enhancements until I have a slightly better idea of what my utilityfunction looks like before that. As well as you can currently communicate them, what are the major relevant differences in our state of information, according to you?"

"Hell is substantially likely to be fixed or destroyed, without risking Creation as a whole, on a timescale much smaller than the expected lifetime of the universe, even absent any intervention by you. Your presence substantially improves my estimate of the outcome as long as you don't try to destroy the world. I'm intentionally omitting numbers because you're not yet coherent enough to think about them correctly."

"All of the Good and most of the Neutral gods, ancient or ascended, have values compatible, if not identical, with sapient flourishing."

"Agreements governing trade and information-sharing between the Outer and Material planes, and between planets in the Material, are intended to keep the rate of technological development in the Material approximately what it would be without gods or afterlives, not slower. I don't agree with this, to be clear, but you actually have no idea of what it looks like for a planet to grow up."

"Golarion does in fact have any mortals other than you who are capable of what you'd consider to be rational thinking."

"And the primary relevant differences in our values?"

"Possibly small but critical differences in our relative weightings of suffering versus flourishing, though you aren't currently coherent enough for me to be sure. One of the main things I'm currently worried about, actually, is you trying to make yourself coherent under time pressure while severely traumatized, and becoming something you wouldn't have grown up into in better circumstances."

"I'd overthrow Pharasma if I could at an acceptable cost, but destroying the world specifically to spite her would be a moral atrocity. My Church kills approximately a dozen people trying to do that every year."

"Murdering and likely damning a large number of Chelish civilians to prevent a much smaller number of your own children from being born there is selfish and evil, and my Church hasn't actually encountered that one before but I can confidently predict that they will not help you."
