I’m not sure what your position happens to be. Is it “This post isn’t advice. It’s wrong for you (ChristianKl) to expect that the author explicitely disclaims giving advice when he doesn’t intent to give advice.”?
If that’s the case, it seems strange to me. This post contains explicit statemensts about what people should/must do. It contains those in the beginning and in the end, which are usually the places where an essay states it’s purpose.
It’s bad to be too vague to be wrong.
Postmodern writing about how to speak truth efficiently that’s to vague to be wrong is problematic and I don’t think having a bunch of LW signaling and cheers for rationalists make it better.
