GLaDOS has extensively discussed many of these issues on the past if you check out her comment history. I think the average LessWrong reader considers most of the statements both plausible and clearly at least partially stuff that might be suppressed via lowered status or other negative consequences.
Its actually a quite good and convincing list, since her first three examples are clearly people who have suffered negative consequences or at least status hits because they held them. Watson and Summers are pretty self-explanatory. Roissy seems to have suffered infamy for his opinions so far. But he allegedly had some problems when his “real” identity was leaked at a time, the people who “revealed it” did so with the hope of hurting him. So clearly the opinions that he holds are by most people classified as of that kind.
Such users may up vote it or read it, but definitely won’t down vote it in this thread. Also there are probably people who find many of the statements on the list basically “sky is blue” stuff.
I found only the last statement on the list as something that I’d put a confidence below 0.9 on, but she did provide a link to a blog that discusses it quite widely (haven’t yet had time to read the key posts there properly).
Hey, people are taking you seriously even though you’re not justifying your beliefs. That’s not fair.
