The first item in the list starts: "I want people to cut off my head". I wasn't exactly subtle.

If you so want, then even Rian would agree that the statement is true. I hadn't mentioned it because I didn't want to nitpick, but FYI in case you want to post this to the main page.

If you have worked your way through most of the sequences you are likely to agree with the majority of these statements...although they're deliberately phrased to incite kneejerk disagreement and ugh-fields I think most LW readers will find themselves in agreement with almost all of them.

If you had wanted to say what LW looks like from the outside, there was no reason to tether appearances to actual beliefs.
