One question to help you determine your Primary House
ilzolende:
wirehead-wannabe:
What is the biggest cause of evil in the world?
Gryffindor: “Not listening to the moral feelings that you know deep down are right.”
Hufflepuff: “Not treating everyone with human dignity.”
Ravenclaw: “Not questioning your impulses and assumptions about the world.”
Slytherin: “Betraying yourself or your friends.”
Ravenclaw primary, then, definitely.
Does “the world is evil because it doesn’t listen to the moral feelings I know are right, as a consequence betrays me and my friends and does it on a practical level mostly by not questioning those things” count as what? All I know is that Hufflepuff is a worse match because all too often naive “dignity”, when not tempered by questioning is itself a cause of evil. The other ones one can’t go wrong with even when applied indiscriminately.
Wait, you mean the “you” others should consider is actually “themselves” instead of me? 100% Ravenclaw then.

Damnit, do I really have to distract myself by infiltrating a genetics lab and releasing specicidally engineered mosquitoes to the wild? That is so goddamn perfect supervillainy: I shall wipe an entire species off the face of the Earth with my Gene Driver to save millions of lives! Fuck, just thinking about it is giving me a trollgasm of the “is it evil? is it good? is it just really confusing and beautiful and so much The Aesthetic?” variety. It is some of the most supervillainy things one could imagine while simultaneously being one of the most powerful irreversible altruistic acts in history. And less controversial than dumping several dozen metric buttloads of finasteride into California’s water supply to eliminate the gender binary so it’d be better for PR too!

I am so going to start milking “I wrote something that basically ended up on slatestarcodex a week later” for all I can. Even if it was only a coincidence, everyone remember that you heard part 7 from me first. Thank you for your cooperation, reality; perhaps I shall reward your convenient actions by only mostly destroying you, instead of completely. Further cooperative actions by any existing or counterfactual universes shall be similarly incentivized.
