-> I have never in my own life tried to persuade anyone to go trans (or not go trans)—I don't imagine myself to understand others that much.

-If you think it "sometimes personally prudent and not community-harmful" to got out of your way to say positive things about Republican candidates and never, ever say positive things about Democratic candidates (because you "don't see what the alternative is besides getting shot"), you can see why people might regard you as a _Republican shill_—even if all the things you said were true, and even if you never told any specific individual, "You should vote Republican."

-I just got off the phone with my mother. I told her that I wouldn't be able to visit her this weekend because I had a terrible week and I'm going to need to do dayjob work on Sunday to catch up with how behind I am.
-
-She told me that she believes in angels, that she prays to God for me at night, that the angels are like God's helpers, like how Santa has elves

-(My family is ethnically Jewish—you know, like everyone else—but my mother's personal brand of spirituality is very vague; these particular sentences felt unusually Christian-themed given that she identifies as a Jewish Buddhist, but not out of character.)
-
-I told her not to bother with the prayers, unless it helps her sleep.
-
-As I was wrapping up the call, I mentioned that the reason it was a bad week was because I got into a fight about dolphins.
-
-"Dolphins?" she asked, incredulously.
-
-"They're not fish, right?" I asked.
-
-"No, of course not," she said. "They're mammals. Dolphins take care of their young. Dolphins can communicate with each other; they're intelligent."

-Thanks, Mom. I'm so lucky to have a mother that's _less retarded than the leadership of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute_.

+Similarly, you should stop pretending to be a rationality teacher if you're going to be corrupted by politics
