Ironically that was first example I came up with for non-me things that would work similarly; got asked “Do you self-identify as a rationalist?” once by someone and I definitely don’t, but that’s an easy way to communicate tropes, shared vocabulary, desiderata, some values, etc.

Not the question of identification, either, it’s the way you answer the question. (I think mine started “Well I think SSC is one of best essayists of our generation and I like instrumental rationality a lot but don’t engage with the community much and feel like values are diff.”)
