If I understand correctly, you only post when it is both on-topic and you expect positive karma? Are there two different terminal values in play here?

Generally, yes.

I also post points in favor of feminism and post-modernism when I think they are on topic and would enhance the rationality of the average LW user. But I expect those topics to get downvoted, so I don't always make such posts, even when I think the expected value of the post would be positive for readers.
