It sounds like the actual unusual paradigm on LW is not so much "worried about the basilisk" as it is "unusually accommodating of people who worry about the basilisk".
Modest proposal: practice "ontological rejection therapy" to decrease worry about basilisks, etc.:
Negative result: Nothing happens. Gain increased sanity and epistemological confidence.
Positive result: Devoured by Mind Flayers or equivalent. Surviving peers gain experimental data of immense value.
