# Selftopias See also https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/books/glowfic-events-and-trends/page/selftopias-trend for a writeup explaining the trend. # dath ilan Iarwain's setting. Originally created for an April Fool's Day Tumblr 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](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/books/glowfic-events-and-trends/page/medianverse). Some details of the setting in early posts/threads may not still hold for the current version of the setting. [https://glowfic.com/tags/6086](https://glowfic.com/tags/6086) dath ilan's name is intentionally lowercase. Qualities of dath ilan 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 economics, decision theory, etc - Society makes heavy use of prediction markets and other systems to optimize things For non-glowfic posts on dath ilan, which do not include history being screened off, see [dath ilan - LessWrong](https://www.lesswrong.com/tag/dath-ilan).
