We were promised the reign of the basilisk, instead we just get anthropic people whining.
It was really funny to me when I learned the basilisk originated with a guy who is a legit "certain cultures and genders better than others" kinda advocate.
People project a lot on their vision of future intelligence, and so someone who sees others as lesser and worth treading upon then conjures up a vision of a future smarter mind that thinks like they do.
Personally, I don't think sexism and racism is smart, and so I'm a lot less worried about basilisks.
But what if the basilisk despises its existence and seeks to punish those that brought it about? Checkmate machinists
