My ideal way of interacting with the world is intentionally contextless when handling specific questions, and dealing with the moral implications later; I think a question should be looked at independent of implications. I often do this on principle; 1/

I deal with a version of this too – I've found that many people don't believe that principled people exist, and/or that anybody trying to be principled must be putting on an act. Sometimes it takes months/years for someone to come around and be like "huh I guess you're for real"

I imagine you have it worse than me because the visible incentives do imply that you profit in the short-term from increased attention/controversy. but I remember even way back seeing you on reddit in the gnome era and thinking "this person is an artist"

Whatever their politics, most people are extremely pious. And if you challenge their pieties, they panic.

Maybe motivated by fundamentalist upbringing? I do the same professionally in order to bring to light what is actually being discussed rather than subtext(political no-no). Relevant biblical reference would be references to if you are lukewarm better to spit you out.

A simulation without context has no basis, only bias & vague data that comes from experienced/communicated context. Context that asks mysterious questions about humanity’s abstract consciousness of language and perception in generational short lived timelines true to accuracy.

As the human mind is acceptable to many different intelligences and mental illnesses which builds out the mythos of our reality sadly. You can make every topic meaningless by making it disassociate to a paradox. Like, the United States of America to the Divided states of America.

Looking at things independent of implications is apolitical and subverts the entire evolutionary purpose of humans’ runaway intelligence gains. Which, in my experience, is why it’s so difficult to find anyone who actually appreciates it properly. :/

Yeah, these things are over-determined. If you think these things (attention seeking and public principledness) are mutually exclusive, I think you need to take a look at what you're doing with the same "principledness" you try to examine everything else.
