That's a harsh accusation to make without supporting it in any way.
After all the posts and comments I've made on LW, you should realize that the odds are much greater that you failed to understand my post, than that I am insane. I'm disappointed in you.
I doubt that you're confused by assumptions, since this post contains far fewer assumptions than anything else you're likely to read today. What is confusing is that it removes many of the assumptions you rely on in everyday conversation - such as that society is made of humans, who are sexually diploid, and face certain ethical problems and have a certain range of possible actions available to them - and doesn't explicitly say where it stops removing assumptions.
He said "its presentation is borderline insane", not "its author is insane". Argumentative hygiene, please.
(Is there a case for valuing some kinds of insanity because the best contributors to a rationalist group are not always the best individual rationalists for division-of-labor reasons? Should we ever think in terms of "psychiatric diversity"?)
