It doesn’t work that way. I’m not going to explain how it does work for obvious reasons. But vague thoughts about blackmailers don’t give anyone an incentive to blackmail you. If you were worried that they did, you’d just try to apply an equal and opposite impulse in the other direction to reduce the incentive to blackmail you, and then rely on an FAI to try to cancel it out exactly later.
But mostly the winning move is to just go think about something else. So take my word for it, I know more than you do, no really I do, and SHUT UP.
I’m going to ask Tricycle to delete this post. Apparently people are really that incapable of shutting up.
