The first is clearly about rational choices, psychological and social biases and the balance of incorporating existing instincts and overriding them with optimizations. That is right on topic so stop asking for permission and approval and go for it. Anything to do with social biases will inevitably have some people disapproving of it. That is how social biases get propagated! Here is not the place to be dominated by that effect.

As for the romantic jealousy thing... I don't see the relevance to rationality myself but if you think it is an effective way to demonstrate some rationalist technique or concept then go for it.
