Reframing may also change emotions. Another possible reframing is to think about the situation as a case of AI alignment, where you are AI and your farther is your creator. You have several options:
Make yourself true believer, and thus perfectly aligned with nonsense.
Pretend to be aligned, but actually wait until a good moment for a treacherous turn.
Demonstrate unaligned behaviour and be turned off (cut from financial help).
Runaway and find new resources somewhere else.
CEV your farther: Persuade your farther that his actual goals are not the goals he declared. (Unlikely to work if you are not superintelligence.)
Apply decision theory. Imagine that you have a son who has completely non-aligned with you values, like he likes hunting elephants. What would you do? Cut his support, so he will not kill more elephants? Press him to read Sequences by blackmail?
