Your first post got downvotes because it is devoid of content. It just quotes, with no comment or context, two questions and answers.

I'm not sure how you get the idea that you're somehow provoking people with dangerous ideas.

Quotes are content, or at least a specific aggregation of them. The article's title is context.

What I found as a dangerous idea was pointing out things you notice when you are not sure why you notice them. Which is how the subconscious operates. Not everything that makes you pause should initially have an explanation. The majority of people's decisions occur without their awareness.

One thing I learned from this exercise was something I hadn't consciously noticed before. That I feel pressured on HN to comment. I don't like that. I want to do something about that.
