"Because it unblocks our model-sync by describing the autobiographical details that explain why I find the AGP model so compelling even if [I can't prove it](https://unstableontology.com/2020/01/26/on-hiding-the-source-of-knowledge/). Plus you get a chance to try [negotiating](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bargaining_model_of_war) with me in case publishing would be an act of probabilistic [timeless](https://arbital.greaterwrong.com/p/ldt_intro_phil) genocide against you and yours."

+"Because you wouldn't have been allowed to exist if normies believed what I believe. _I_ want you to exist, but—sorry—apparently not _more_ than I want to not participate in cover-ups, times the probability of my whistleblowing successfully reaching normies, times the logical correlation between me and counterfactual whistleblowers far enough into the past to undermine your existence.

+
+"No jury would convict me. Does your answer depend on that answer?"
+
+"No."
+
+And then they had sex.
