At any moment, you are free to conclude “this is bullshit”, and there will be no one screaming at your face.
Unless you’ve studied until the screaming comes from within you. In the present context, try the “Morality” section. (For reasons, I designed that page so that the subsections cannot be directly linked to.) And then the “Pure Insanity” section.
I didn’t dream up the contents of that page. I just took ideas that are in the air of the LW/EA/rationalsphere (and some other places, but mostly from there), and simulated “taking ideas seriously” turned up to eleven.

True.
Still it seems to me (maybe I am wrong here) that Ziz actually had to use the sleep deprivation et cetera in order to convince most people to buy the “up to eleven” version. Even people who take ideas more seriously than usual, often seek some kind of social approval before jumping off the deep end.
