The basic version of this post is something I realised back in 2023 itself, although the exact details of all entanglements are something I am still figuring out as of 2026.
It is very easy to say "personal is political" as some armchair philosopher and it is entirely different to actually experience all this shit first-hand.
'who I choose to criticise versus not' is entangled with 'who I do want should be high or low status in society to deal with ASI'. This is entangled with 'who do I actually like or dislike, and why, independent of what I think society should do'. This is entangled with 'why are people like me my bitterest enemies and why are people unlike me my potential allies'. This is entangled with 'does there even exist such a thing called unconditional love? are most people capable of it? why is everyone lying to themselves and each other that they are capable of it if they are not?'. This is entangled to 'narcissism of small differences and why does everyone start the bitterest blood feuds with their nearest neighbours'
Honestly there are atleast 7 steps sitting on this chain even becore I started criticising lots of people re: ASI, to the extent I do now. I spent atleast a full year just thinking about information policies before I concluded that being this level of transparent about what I am doing is the best bet for me.
