Erm, I didn’t claim to want to ‘turn Lesswrong into the Onion and Daily Show’ - that is a mis-characterization of my argument. I referred to the arguments made by the Onion, in defense of satire, and I mentioned the criticism of the Daily Show only as a case of silencing critique. Neither implies what you claimed. I hope you can admit that; I am repeatedly strawmanned by supposed rationalists who claim ‘scouts mindset’, while output here is far below the standard of the philosophy message board I helped to moderate in the 90s; your mischaracterization does not help your argument.
