It’s going pretty well for me! Most people I work with or am friends with know that there are multiple topics on which my thoughts are private, and there have been ~no significant social costs to me that I’m aware of.
I would like to be informed of opportunities to support others in this on LessWrong or in the social circles I participate in, to back you up if people are applying pressure on you to express your thoughts on a topic that you don’t want to talk about.
I think that’s an important norm and I support it, but until it is well established it’s not something I (or others) can rely on.

Nice of you to offer! I expect, however, that pressure in this direction will come from non-LW non-EA directions.
Then I shall continue to tend to and grow my garden.
