If you follow the author on Twitter I think you'll find that he wouldn't entirely disagree with you. He's openly discussed how he sees people as systems to be observed and studied.
There's a difference between detachment and objectivity. The article in question makes a lots of leaps of logic to connect unrelated ideas and the site in general gives me the impression I'd expect from someone who still thinks Malthus was right. Acceptable output from an angsty teenager, not so much from an adult professional.
I wouldn't armchair diagnose the author with sociopathy but they do seem like they'd give the expected answer when prompted with the hoax "psychopath test" funeral riddle.
There are a lot of smart people here who are shadow banned, I'm constantly vouching for accounts who have zero warnings or any mod-correspondence to show for it. It kind of feels like Reddit except there's no coherent ideology being censored, just random nerds who say interesting things I can't read without squinting or selecting.
Since it is without explanation in the majority of cases, I can only assume it is overzealous dangs and other mod team members that are less visible. They are immediate, and without explanation.
Is being childless really that much of an ostracisation in (I assume) North America? It is certainly noone else's business (save for maybe your parents) here in Northern Europe.

Then there’s softer Gemeinschaft ghost protocols, like the one the housed adopt towards the homeless.
A ghost protocol cannot be announced or otherwise ceremonialized. Cancelation, exile, or excommunication are not forms of ghosting.
Is that actual shadowbanning? Or just overzealous flagging by certain users?
