No, I understand this is not your current position. However, I have specifically noted that your disclaimer includes the words “seems reasonable”. This felt to me like a contrast with the suggestion’s apparent absurdity.
Had you not claimed that this is all supposed to relate, however tangentially, to ordinary LW-style reasoning and not just aesthetics or ideological applause lights (and I have nothing against those in moderation), I wouldn’t have attacked this. I was merely confused about your intent and level of seriousness here.
