They say you don’t notice mattress ads until you want a mattress, then you see them everywhere.
I wasn’t aware octopuses were also extreme fast life history strategists, as well as being extremely intelligent, and the idea that the conditions that selected for them could be compared to Hell hadn’t occurred to me.
Anyway, the basic progression suggested in this segment is Satanists take the deal where they get paradise now and hell later, which corresponds to easy+unpredictable (rabbit-dominant ecology) -> harsh+unpredictable (octopus-dominant ecology). That basically follows the Ahriman-summoning-Cthulhu story.
