Mithra
Article  Talk
This article is about the Zoroastrian yazata. For other uses, see Mithra (disambiguation).
Mithra (Avestan: [Avestan script], Miθra; Old Persian: [Old Persian cuneiform], Miθrah) is an ancient Iranian deity (yazata) of covenants, light, oaths, justice, the Sun, contracts, and friendship. In addition to being the divinity of contracts, Mithra is also a judicial figure, an all-seeing protector of Truth (Asha), and the guardian of cattle, the harvest, and the Waters.

the real lesson of cassandra's curse is that if you're handed alpha by the gods you should act on it instead of trying to convince others
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

A pithy aphorism about acting on privileged information rather than trying to persuade skeptics, framed via the myth of Cassandra. General "rationalist Twitter" style wisdom-tweet, not specifically AI-related.
