Yes, I’m sorry, I had a mini-panic episode. It’s absurd for me to react in these ways, all my posting so far was automatic talk which I didn’t actually think. I’m still recovering from years of untreated anxiety and ADHD. I will post something coherent when I’m better.

If after my reply you still can’t tell, then I’d better not post here. It’s better for both me and this community.
What on Earth made you think this is some argument? I was making an observation, that I don’t see why he is fearful of quacks/homeopaths/nutritionists here, this seems like the last place you could find them. People who assume everything on the Internet is an argument, well it says a lot about them.
I am a bit confused OTOH why non-ADHD people (without akrasia, a term I just learned here on this webssite) find such questions interesting at all. To me, no matter what “system of morals” you may have, it’s mostly useless thinking, because it’s not like what I do depends that much on what I actually want to do, in my self-awareness.
ADHD is controversial only among anti-rationalists, and this is a place for rationalists to gather so… I’m not sure why you said that.
Yes, I made an account shortly after I read HPatMoR.
I’ve been taking peeks here and there. I mean I was aware of Less Wrong existing before. I’ve read stuff by Eliezer before, specifically the first contact story, and I found it fun if extremely formulaic and didactic. It was a pleasant surprise for me, that I could find something so stilted so fun.
I haven’t noticed anything I haven’t heard of before.
I’ve referred people to HPatMoR but not LW.
