Definitions by Hym Iam
Take-down
Hym "Soooo... What you're saying is: I would succeed where the others failed? I mean, it's not much of a take-down because I'm telling what I'm going to say to every question you could possibly ask. 'I'm ToO iMpOrTaNt To Go DoWn LiKe ThIs!' he saids. I mean, it's not like I need to be pulled off the ledge of a cliff. You're ethic literally requires you to tell the truth but you can't because you'd reveal yourself as a charlatan. And it would be an objectively good thing to do. Like the shopping cart moral dilemma thing. You're making rules just to exempt yourself from them at your convenience. That's the literal definition of playing God."
Lie
What percentage of the conceptual realm needs to be occupied by lies for reality to constitute an illusion?
Pascal's wager
Hym "My problem with the pascal's wager types is that they believe that the creature is a carefully constructed lie used to control the masses. It's just a gross kind of hubris or a false martyrdom. You're sacrificing yourself on the altar of your own disbelief. Like 'I don't believe it but THEY need to believe it because if THEY don't believe everything will be worse for everyone. And if I explain why I don't believe it I might convince other people not to believe it. And they NEED to believe it or they won't behave in the way they need to so I'll say I believe it and even try to convince people that it's real because it's better that people believe the thing I don't believe or they might not be good. I have a responsibility to make them good. I'm the gentle invisible hand that pushes humanity in the right direction at the cost of my own disbelief..' But that's just Infinite Tsukuyomi. It's not even that the endless dream is bad. Or even that it isn't real (in contradiction to the source material). It's that you're doing that to them. You don't get to decide that for them just because they can't get into your consciousness."

Private
No it isn't. Probably not something you want to lie about... Actually, lying about it would violate the premise of the wager... And telling the truth would constitute not accepting the wager and would again, therefore, violate the premise of the wager. The only choice you have is not to answer the question.... Anything else would be like being a clinical psychologist actively participating in the public gaslighting of a schizophrenic...
Hym "Oh, shit! I forgot part of the 'Jesus' thing! I was going to go one to explain: Hell is being Jesus in a world where God exists... Because you're just getting torn apart by vicious monkeys and it's like 'ARGH! Why have you forsaken meeee!!' And God's like '........' and it thinks to itself (Ooo shit I probably shouldn't have gave one of the monkeys cake and not any of the others) 'Oops. Alright. BEEOO-OOP! Alive again. There you go... You're fine right? Yeah... You're fine...' But I digress. Not private."
Jesus
The thing that suffers and dies arbitrarily at the hands of the Schizophrenic horde. You should be this (so I don't have to... I'd rather be a part of the horde. Or the guy that tells them to do it to you)
Hym "What the fuck? No. Jesus Christ! How about instead of trying to imitate everything you see (like the stupid filth monkeys that you are) you just acknowledge that it was not a good thing to do to a guy and don't do that? But hey, don't listen to me. I'm not a doctor."
The law of non-contradiction
A thing cannot be itself and it's opposite. But things can be duplicitous and they can have two different names.
Hym "The law of non-contradiction does not apply to God. Do laws apply to God now? Who makes the laws to which God is subject? You? That's why imitating the creature is wrong.
