How can I be sure that you aren't a bot or vice versa?

Don't worry, you're not the only person who can't answer this question.

Nobody can, that I know of.

I don't worry much here, given that HN isn't a very lucrative space to infest with bots. We will hold out for a few years here.

I am no longer on Facebook or Twitter/X, where that question is very relevant.

Hn is loaded with bots and this thread in particular is full of things that somehow have less political literacy than the typical American 8th grader.

That is not really rare among engineers. Being able to write code does not require much political literacy, and I met more than a few political illiterates who were decent coders. In person, no bots.
