dath ilan

Iarwain's setting. Originally created for an April Fool's Day Tumblr post.post, as a setting in which all coordination problems have been solved and people learn decision theory in school. The setting has evolved somewhat over time, and is now is Iarwain/Eliezer's medianverse. Some details of the setting in early posts/threads may not still hold for the current version of the setting.

DathQualities of dath ilan is Iarwain/Eliezer's medianverse. Qualities it has include:

  • Keepers deal with infohazards and such
  • Wheat is not a major staple crop in the modern era
  • History was screened off at great expense for reasons that are kept secret
  • The ratio of sadists to masochists is extremely skewed, and so the entire concept of BDSM is considered an infohazard
    • Note: in early dath ilan threads, before the evolution toward being Iarwain's medianverse, the concept of BDSM was simply unfamiliar to everyone
    Everyone gets taught economicseconomics, decision theory, etc Society makes heavy use of prediction markets and other systems to optimize things
