I want to add a strong “romantic entanglements are a big risk” voice.
My worst experience with rationalists (and possibly some of their worst experiences with me) were when romance/sex conflict came up. It turns out people are really bad at being rational when that happens. (This was exacerbated by a lot of people being inexperienced, which may or may not be the case in Dragon Army, but it makes sense for romance and sex drive being something just overwhelms the prefrontal cortex)
