I think 1 is true, but not a hinderance LW should care about. That’s already true of large parts of LW-style content.
I think 2 is actively false. We should be showing off our good epistemics as the signal that we have good epistemics, because people who are excited about good epistemics will go “omg you’re doing it right!” even—or possibly especially—if it still happens when applied to taboo topics.
I think 3 is partially true, and therefore a concern. It’s the one that leads me to request the changes I did of Ozy.
I don’t know what to think about 4. I suspect I don’t care about it, and in looking for an english serialization of my beliefs about why, I generated the sentences “we already do things that are illegal in regressive countries”, and “it would be fine if we weren’t allowed in regressive countries”. I’m not sure if either of those are actually true or what I endorse, but I think they represent at least part of why I don’t care.
I think 5 is usually false. It’s possible for good advice to be bad to share; there are certain things about understanding how social interaction work that, when a nerd first learns of them, tends to make that person dramatically worse at getting good social interaction for a while (though I think it improves their social interaction on net after they’ve had time to learn how to use it).
