I wonder if other people feel the same way about my writing?
I think there’s room in the world for both writing styles. Actually, I’d strengthen that: I’m glad there are people writing in a loosier, chattier style with bite-size paragraphs, and I’m glad there are people writing in a more systematic A-then-B-then-C form. I like a degree of variety.
Edit: I guess I didn’t really address your question directly. To be explicit, I was fine with your writing style here, and I liked the care you took to connect what you were saying to specific cognitive biases. I don’t recall ever thinking “whoa, this cousin_it article is too dry for me” when reading one of your non-decision-theory posts. (And I don’t know how easy it is to add emotional arcs to more technical posts about decision theory!)
