Just a little feedback that your comments are… very long. I personally would read them more if you cut the bottom 50% from them after you finished. Or spent a little longer adding a bulletted summary at the top so I could choose to zoom into just the sections that interest me.
If you want terse, follow smart people on twitter, then when they talk to people in terse ways, you get to see it, terse responses are enforced, and so on <3
Being too verbose is one possible protective strategy for critiquing bad faith public speech. Then, as a second order optimization, the roman numeral thing is something that I think maybe Scott and I picked up from The Last Psychiatrist, as a way to make the length tolerable, and indicate “beats” in the emotional movement, when writing about subjects where bad faith can’t be ignored as something potentially salient to the object level discussion.
My most recent follow was based on this beauty, which aphoristically encodes seemingly-authentic (and possibly virtuous) self doubt plus awareness of vast semantic systems and deep time.
