Yea if that's working, you'll just have to live with accidentally filtering the x% of exceptions to the subconscious filtering. not ideal but that's what happens when there's costs for interaction and talking isn't free.

This seems dangerous, could yield pretty much the opposite of rational thought. One data point: the one other person I saw espousing "what is repugnant to you is bad, trust your gut" here in a Twitter was an actual fascist (someone that wanted to "supress and eliminate queers").
