Is there a more proper term for pretending to be from an "enemy organization" in this way? From what I can tell black propaganda is the closest one.
"Fake, but accurate."

Can you actually afford to stand alone with no allies?
I believe European cultural suicide has most likely already foreclosed the possibility of "standing with allies." Fortress America may in fact be doomed, but is has a better chance of success without committing its blood and treasure to the glory of a Europe undergoing MAID.

Though I believe Objectivism is not about practicing objectivity; it is about the philosophical axiom that there is a morality objectively proper to rational beings, from which ethics can be logically derived.

You're right! I've forgotten if there's a name for the phenomenon of increasing competence causing people to increase their overestimation.

Helicopters at least would be extremely vulnerable to even 1939-era AA guns.

Maybe I’ve just been swayed by the Rationalists’ PR campaign, but I’d wager that the average Rationalist is better at overcoming bias than the average human (which is not to say that they’re immune to it, far from it); or at the very least, people who are naturally better at overcoming bias are more likely to be drawn to Rationalism as a hobby or social group.
Yes, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're better at recognizing their own limitations at overcoming bias. There could certainly be a type of overcoming-bias Dunning-Kreuger effect, where people who are better at overcoming bias are also more likely to overestimate their true ability to do so.
Had my first go at something with SuperGrok. A desktop USB accessory using some kind of HID controls from a custom Windows app, but I wanted to use it on Omarchy. I downloaded the Windows application, asked Grok Build to produce a service for my Linux environment that would perform the same functions, and in about 15 minutes it was done and working. A couple of minor tweaks for Office 365 authentication and I was on my way.
Not many times in my life have I felt such empowerment! Just months ago, I would be resigned that such things would have to wait for someone with the skill, desire, and spare time to tackle. Now, it seems like there is no want too trivial not to request bespoke software to satisfy. Awesome and a little terrifying.
