Users of LessWrong, then

Rationalists are downvoting all my best posts and comments to oblivion. Boo!

I did well by taking care of myself and trying to help things progress.

Issue with judging the practitioners is that practicing it may be correlated with other things that are much more harmful. Like all the talk about how single parenthood is supposedly bad for you, but then it doesn't hold up to more careful scrutiny afaik.

Pathogenic bacteria aren't actually optimized to kill you, because they need to exploit you. The pathogenic element occurs in order to get you to spread the bacterion to other hosts.

No it doesn't. I obviously understood my old posts (and still do - the posts make sense if I imagine ignoring LDSL). So I'm capable of understanding whether I've found something that reveals problems in them. It's possible I'm communicating LDSL poorly, or that you are too ignorant to understand it, or that I'm overestimating how broadly it applies, but those are far more realistic than that I've become a pure crank. If you still prefer my old posts to my new posts, then I must know something relevant you don't know.
