Is Duncan/Conor OK with you linking his content here at LW? (There are of course reasons why I think this is a sensible question to ask, but I won’t be going into them here.)
Aside from that, the post is very much of the TL;DR variety, and should ideally be broken into a series of self-contained posts, each pointing out some well-defined inferential step. I’m really quite skeptical that productive discussion about the OP is feasible as is. (But I’m of course willing to be proven wrong, if anyone wants to try!)
It was linked on his FB wall by a friend of his, so I think that’s fine.
I actually think this post essentially needed to be as long as it is. Most of the points are not _new_ and if seen in isolation, would be sort of “okay, sure, now what?” The reason they’re all necessary is to actually process an entire alternate worldview at once to talk about something that people will have a lot of extreme, knee jerk reaction to.

Yes, he Is.
