I'm also kind of mad that you told everyone to lock down. It feels cowardly. It reminds me of times I felt deserted by rationalists when I needed help and support, and I hated it. I think rationalists need more loyalty and testosterone.

What I don't want to do is leave myself exposed while I'm still in the Orient phase and let some motherfucker like @itsbirdemic drop in and waste me before I know what hit me, because I will be much less useful to this cause if I am suddenly trying to figure out how to make rent

My opsec is not tight and a reasonably capable actor could get my identity and employer in probably half an hour of work. My manager likes me but I am not indispensable and my employer is quite PR sensitive. I've said plenty of things here I don't want to see in NYT.

And at this point I think I'm large enough to be a plausible target.
