2 "I Tell Myself to Let the Story End"
4 on the argumentative form, "super-proton things come in varieties"—I think the moral here is wrong; you might ask why I'm criticizing it even though it supports my position, but I care about REASONING, which means REJECTING BAD ARGUMENTS even if they're on "your side"

23 Sex Differences and Commonsense Priors (I have parsimony intuitions that make "AGP is caused by pollution" or "AGP is normal in cis women" or "hormone receptors distributions are the same" seem not worth considering)
25 In the Presence of Mimickry, Extension and Intension Simplicity Trade-Off
27 Objectivity as a Rhetorical Strategy: probability, words, morality
28 Focus on the Simple Case (accurate maps can have bad effects, but that's a weird second-order analysis)
29 Self-Identity as Focal Point; Or, Schelf-Identity
31 Names and Genders Are Not Relevantly Analogous
33 A Human's Abridged Guide to Gender Words
34 "But It Doesn't Matter"
