Ah, gotcha. I have read the essay and I read that paragraph again for reference.
Being overly suspicious of overwise good-seeming people can indeed be pathological and/or harmful. I think, though, that like most social tech it can hardly be helped that it is sharp on both sides.

I am glad you wrote it in any case.
Hoo, yeah. "How to make the protective ideas less dangerous" is a hard problem. One way of framing (heh) the difficulty is that protective and dangerous are here referring to the same salient function(s) applied differently EG sharp blades cut
