But you’re not a brilliant mathematician – you shouldn’t (even rhetorically) evaluate the consequences of your political actions as they would relate to a hypothetical highly-atypical person. Of course, a genius ( being of immense value) has lots of wiggle room. But you’re not one.
If you still worked at MIRI, you would have negative value. That is, the risk of someone using your writings to tar and feather MIRI would be higher than the expected value of employing you. It’s likely you would be fired, as it would be a rational move. I have no idea how good you were at whatever it was you did for MIRI, but it’s likely there are plenty of candidates of equal abilities who are not publishing blogs that pattern-match with fascist literature.
As being thought of in a political light (especially a political light that the vast majority of prospective contributors and donors find distasteful) would certainly harm MIRI, how could you possibly be offended by something so predictable?
