Wow that’s a tough one. At first I think that version of me would be completely unrecognisable, but then I’m not so sure. I already have very strong moral inclinations, even though I am aware they are not baked into the universe; perhaps if I believed that these moral principles were fundamentally real then there would be few observable differences in my behaviour, besides what I might say in discussions about moral realism!
To think otherwise is to fall into the Jack Chick fallacy, where an absence of the god of Abraham immediately gives one a license to kill, cheat, and steal.
That’s actually my estimate about what would be different in the Moral Owl Argumate AU, but the Argumate fanfic writers disagree with me.

In a dystopian future where the government regulates the choice of preferences for new moral agents at time of creation, genderfluid robot Optimum 7 has been declared illegal by the Turing Police. Can she survive the death of her creator, the elusive, elite transhuman Strayan Shtpost Hacker @argumate?

I mean, if we’re being honest, just how good is the typical Rationalist at distinguishing between owl sexes, much less owl genders?
This outcome was, sadly, inevitable.
More work towards achieving Total Artist Unemployment.

Surprised he hasn’t announced a plan to build a wall emoji and make the Powerful Owl the national bird.
funnily enough “two perfect squares” is what I’d call my pop group if I had musical ability and a partner in crime as square as me
amazing how no one is fat in the dark cyberpunk future
dark cyberpunk future, Neo-Tokyo, neon, sun never comes out, black leather, mirrored shades, jacking in to the matrix, corporations, syndicate, retro phones,
No no no you’re missing the plan here.
The megacorporations license you a gene mod which keeps you skinny so you can fit the image their advertising sells, and it boosts your metabolism so that you must eat more food to survive, helping to sell you large amounts of highly-branded junk food while you take on more and more debt.
In the cyberpunk future, the Coca-Cola™ flowing through your veins is the only thing keeping you alive.
SAN FRANCISCO—In an effort to reduce the number of unprovoked hostile communications on the social media platform, Twitter announced Monday that it had added a red X-mark feature verifying users who are in fact perfectly okay to harass. “This new verification system offers users a simple, efficient way to determine which accounts belong to total pieces of shit whom you should have no qualms about tormenting to your heart’s desire,” said spokesperson Elizabeth James, adding that the small red symbol signifies that Twitter has officially confirmed the identity of a loathsome person who deserves the worst abuse imaginable and who will deliberately have their Mute, Block, and Report options disabled. “When a user sees this symbol, they know they’re dealing with a real asshole who has richly earned whatever mistreatment they receive, including profanity, body-shaming, leaking of personal information, and relentless goading to commit suicide. It’s really just a helpful way of saying to our users, ‘This fuck has it coming, so do your worst with a clear conscience and without fear of having your account suspended.’” At press time, Twitter reassuredly clarified that the red X was just a suggestion and that all users could still be bullied with as little recourse as they are now.
