The author has commented on Twitter that the entire piece is not satire and is meant to be taken seriously: https://twitter.com/aearnus/status/1147960078680485889?s=21 https://twitter.com/aearnus/status/1147960078680485889?s=21 I don't think you are being trolled. Instead, I think you are jumping somewhat unkindly to an unfounded conclusion. Rather than satire or mental illness, I think you are encountering "earnestness" combined with a mind that doesn't work like yours.
