The intersection between sanity signals (yes a real thing) and virtue signals defines the Overton window: the range of acceptable opinions one can hold.

Policing the Overton Window extends from the desire to preserve social capital. By policing the Overton Window, one frames parasitic modes of power as ‘insane’ while acting to preserve social power – the foundation of parasitic behavior.

Essentially, policing the Overton Window, acts to preserve the opportunity to be a parasite.

So, why would you do this?

Sifting fact from Fantasy only requires truth, not signalling. And by truthful methods most geopolitical “conspirators’ are guilty, as are most academic “conspirators”.

By this measure, the conspiracies which pan out are pushed into “insanity signals”. Powerplays and human animal husbandry, I suspect, are the opportunities one seeks for himself.
