As I write this comment I’m starting to suspect that the purpose of the ban on politics is in place to protect the reputation of MIRI.
There’s no ban in place on discussing politics. We do have highly controversial discussion about far out political ideas like neoreactionism.
Indeed, this ban relates to how we discuss topics, not what topics we discuss.
An example would Eliezer’s “Traditional Capitalist Values”, or suicide bombers mentioned in other articles in Sequences.
