Values and proof of trust

• Watch my youtube channel maybe, for example my interview while on hunger strike
  • Videos carry some implicit signals via body language, that are helpful for determining trustworthiness, which are not discernible via text.
• You can read my personal website.
  • I don't actually know if this is useful to you. It is not written for you, and it's definitely not written with the intention of earning your trust or similar. But I have personally observed that I seem to trust people more if I also know parts of them that they consider vulnerable to them, apart from work.
• Integrity
  • I generally mean what I say, and do what I say I will do.
  • Historical track record of high integrity, see for example internet forum posts since childhood, or my previous educational and work experience, or my financial track record.
  • I use disclaimers when I'm exploring ideas I'm not yet certain about.
• Openness
  • I have lots of opinions that society considers unpopular and am fairly open about it.
  • I am generally not willing to lie about this even if offered significant reward for doing so. (I think some people who are willing to hide their opinions for money are directly leading to the end of the world.)
  • This is a calculated decision on my part. I am aware there are pros and cons.
  • If I do acquire significant attention, I might choose to only signal boost some ideas and not others. But even so, I'm generally not actively hiding the other ideas, though I might not signal boost them as much.
• Moral values
  • No criminal record
  • Have significant social circle who can attest to my personality traits
  • I don't fully support liberalism but I'm more-or-less liberal in my day-to-day social interactions. Unless you wield a significant amount of power, most probably you are not a threat to me and I am not a threat to you. If you wield a significant amount of power, then it is more complicated.
• Personality traits and values
  • See also: My personality test results
    • I have published my personality test results on various scales like Big Five, MBTI, and so on.
