Does he say all human behaviour is signaling or anything like that? I've noticed a lot of fans implying it but that seems nonsensical.

The core thesis is that everything we do is ultimately selfish or genetically selfish, or a currently maladaptive execution of a selfish adaptation - you get the idea, even though it's not in our interest to be consciously aware of it. That's the elephant in the room/brain, something that's really obvious but rarely discussed.
That means a huge chunk of human behavior is signaling, including a lot of less obvious things. Like voting, for example - the miniscule probability of changing the outcome isn't selfishly worth the time investment, but it's an excellent opportunity to signal that you're smart/knowledgeable/loyal. It even claims much of healthcare is signaling.
Not absolutely everything is signaling, but there's a lot more of it than you'd think.

Not as much in the book than in his blog.

It is.

I honestly found this book echoing thoughts I already have. I have a big deterministic hardon. I have yet to find a counter argument.

this sounds like something out of rationalist doujinshi.

except the whole point of the book is that were are not practicing incest for example because of the pregnancy risk, practical birth control is only something recent

are you hard enough for superdeterminism?
