Doesn't even mention Roko's Basilisk, so pretty safe.
Now you've damned me to eternal torment.
It's okay, you'll be saved as long as you believe the whole thing to be silly.
Don't worry, the antimemetics division is keeping us safe https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/antimemetics-division-hub
It's safe to read, you have to read it immediately.
What would you consider unsafe to read?
I think they were joking about a fictional cognitive risk that could crash your brain. There are real cases of information that glitches your brain, like the McCollough effect. Can something exist that glitches the cerebral cortex instead of the visual cortex?
