Thank you for writing this. A couple shorthands I keep in my head for aspects:

My confidence interval ranges across the sign flip.

Due to the waluigi effect, I don't know if the outcomes I care about are sensitive to the dimension I'm varying my credence along.

I often feel that people don't get how the sucking up thing works. Not only does it not matter that it is transparent, that is part of the point. There is simultaneously common knowledge of the sucking up and common knowledge that those in the inner party don't acknowledge the sucking up, that's part of what the inner party membership consists of. People outside can accuse the insiders of nakedly sucking up and the insiders can just politely smile at them while carrying on. Sucking up can be what deference networks look like from the outside when we don't particularly like any of the people involved or what they are doing. But their hierarchy visibly produces their own aims, so more fools we.

The corn thresher is not inherently evil. Because it is more efficient than other types of threshers, the humans will inevitably eat corn. If this persists for long enough the humans will be unsurprised to find they have a gut well adapted to corn.

The means by which the ring always serves sauron is that any who wear it and express a desire will have the possible worlds trimmed both in the direction of their desire, but also in the direction of sauron's desire in ways that they cannot see. If this persists long enough they may find they no longer have the sense organs to see (the mouth of sauron is blind).

These things are similar in shape.

Even a hundred million humanoid robots a year (we currently make 90 million cars a year) will be a demand shock for human labor.

No they don't, billionaires consume very little of their net worth.

I am very confused why the tax is 99% in this example.

Post does not include the word auction, which is a key aspect of how LVT works to not have some of these downsides.

Yes, and I don't mean to overstate a case for helplessness. Demons love convincing people that the anti demon button doesn't work so that they never press it even though it is sitting right out in the open.

unfortunately, the disanalogy is that any driver who moves their foot towards the brakes is almost instantly replaced with one who won't.
