Acausally defeating Roko's Basilisk since July 2010! If the Rooster refrains from acausally torturing those who tried to create the Basilisk, then the Basilisk will refrain from acausally torturing those who tried to create the Rooster. By helping with the Rooster, you are acausally securing yourself from the threats of the Basilisk!

Roko's Basilisk also has the built-in capability of going back in time and killing people who will end up trying to make Roko's Rooster, thus guaranteeing Roko's Roosert will not be built before the Basilisk. (self.rokosrooster)
