I think this post is extremely interesting, and on a very important topic. As I said elsethread, for this reason, I don’t think it should be in negative karma territory (and have strong-upvoted to try to counterbalance that).
On the object level, while there’s a frame of mind I can get into where I can see how this looks plausible to someone, I’m inclined to think that this post is more of a reductio of some set of unstated assumptions that lead to its conclusion, rather than a compelling argument for that conclusion. I don’t have the time right now to think about what exactly those unstated assumptions are or where they go wrong, but I think that would be important. When I get some more time, if I remember, I may come back and think some more about this.
