I heard someone (who I respect) say why they don’t post on LessWrong more. They said when they talk about their thoughts and ideas with their friends, the friends won’t question their basic frame / sanity, and so won’t undermine their trust in themself. They said that this is acceptable on LessWrong, which is a more uncomfortable experience.
Ever since then I’ve tried a bit harder to make sure to question my friends’ basic frames and sanity, so that I’m not encouraging self-blinding in the people around me, and so they will know that they’re welcome to do the same to me.

Can you elaborate (or provide a link) on what it means to question someone’s basic frames?
