People do go funny in the head when discussing politics. People who would never advocate for a medical treatment because they know one person for whom that treatment was effective are often very fast to see it as a valid argument that a given political policy is good because they observed positive outcomes in a single country after implementing that policy.
I quite recently heard from a Bay Area expat that they consider both Eliezer and Scott to have been politically mindkilled in the last years. I don’t think Eliezer ate that hat he promised to eat.
Thinking rationally in general is hard and it’s even more hard when statements are linked to tribal loyality. It’s worthwhile to keep in mind that it’s quite easy to become mindkilled while discussing politics when one engages in discussing politics.
