"Well, yes.  I'd rather fix the universe than destroy it, and would rather destroy it than let it stay unfixed.  There's a lot of people in Evil afterlives who feel very strongly that they'd prefer to stop existing, one of whom explicitly screamed that out loud in the Vision of Hell that I cast, and given how strongly they feel about it, I think their vote wins.  I also feel, with increasing passion after spending some time around two sides that strike me as equally and oppositely crazy, that a sensible and nuanced position on this issue consists of having some fraction of people being eternally tortured above which you'll destroy the multiverse, and not just being, like, 'destroying the multiverse is good' or 'destroying the multiverse is bad'."

"You, Carissa Sevar, can 'threaten' to destroy the multiverse," he uses the Baseline word, not the Taldane, where the technical meaning is unambiguous, "but of course the only reason you'd do that would be if you expected them to give you what you wanted in response to the 'threat'.  And of course the ancient gods would ignore your threat, even if you modified yourself in a way where you would do it and exhibited the fact to them.  If they were the sort of beings that gave into threats, they would, in that case, be better off being inert lumps rather than gods, because if they were inert lumps nobody would go around trying to destroy large amounts of their utility in counterfactual branches in order to force actions out them; and it is a Law-fragment of coherent agents that they do better for themselves than inert lumps."
