I don't think that strategy is likely to succeed. Just look at the criticism that Eliezer got after his April first post.

I think the most charitable reading is that he wants to run an experiment on his audience to see the effect of writing utter crap.

The post is about how he was born in a parallel world and then woke up in this world. It's full of statements intended to be plausible deniable and therefore complicated to read. Eliezer withdraw the post from LW.
