On this model, I still basically don’t worry about spy agencies.
What do I really want here? Like, what would be the thing which I most want those pioneers find? “Nothing” doesn’t actually seem like the right answer; someone who already knows what to look for is going to figure out the key ideas with or without me. What I really want to do is to advertise to those pioneers, in the obscure work which most people will never pay attention to. I want to recruit them.
It feels like the prototypical person I’m defending against here is younger me. What would work on younger me?
More thinking out loud...

Coming back to this 2 years later, and I’m curious about how you’ve changed your mind.
