Yes. That's why the quote is misleading. At least it was to me.
When I first read the quote by the OP, I was apprehensive that the article would hold some Super Rationality Categorical Imperative nonsense, projecting his choice onto everyone in The World.
No. He didn't do that.
He's picking his own choice, and thereby a rather limited piece of the world, and not an entire world. If he were picking The World He Wants, perhaps he'd choose to be Immortal God Emperor instead of just being honest about his mental illness.
