Excellent points! Thank you! I should probably just talk about myself as an irrationalist rationalist since that is all I know. As for myself, I once believed that the most rational people (like Habryka and others) could be rational with the public, explain why ASI is dangerous, and everything would be OK. Since then, I have become what seems to be more rational than my old self. I now feel humanity won't survive indefinitely on this planet because there is no way to get everyone to overcome their evolutionary eemotions with rationality. That's why I have started thinking about "plan B" for human consciousness. In the meanwhile, I plan to be somewhat flexible in how much of my identity/thoughts I reveal and to whom. Among rationalists, I can reveal everything. Yet among irrational people, I need to be more "flexible" with my identiy/beliefs.

I shouldn't speak for everyone, or really anyone, besides myself. Thanks for the correction!
