I wonder if we mean different things by "genuine". I find it quite easy to believe that his actual desires and his stated goals are the same, and I find him relatively transparent in his theories about how to other-optimize.

I'll gladly admit that it's not my thing, but that's different from thinking that it's evil or creepy.

I generally try to be consistent between my actual desires, my stated goals, and my actions, which exhibit my revealed preferences.
