Eliezer Yudkowsky. Harry Potter and the methods of rationality (№ 415270)

- I can't provide exact statistics. I don't know anything specifically, so I can't count anything. All I know is that I feel your chances aren't very good. I would even say very bad.
- But I'll never be like that! No way!
- I've heard this before.
- I'm not a potential Dark Lord!
- Exactly. Without a doubt.
- But why! Just because I once thought how cool it would be to have an army of blind fanatics chanting, "Glory to Dark Lord Harry!"
- It's funny, but that's not what you just thought about, quickly replacing the flashy thought with another, less dangerous one.

If it were in your power, and if no one ever knew about it, you would do it right now.
