Curated. A compliment I’ll give to post is that I’m sympathetic to its length being warranted – it covers and accomplishes a lot, and I could see it being hard to have the same effect with something shorter, akin to how the Meditations on Moloch essay couldn’t obviously be shorter. This too is a meditation, weaving many pieces together such that I think I get the nuanced picture Duncan is painting. At the cost of length, Duncan is very good at covering edge cases and caveats (a software engineer walks into a bar and orders −1 beers, infinity beers, etc). It’d be tedious if everoyne did this but I think it’s valuable that Duncan demonstrates making statements with precision and stemming off misunderstandings and misapplications. (I think “rule out wrong interpretations” being a topic of another of his posts. In in all, I recommend this post.
Now although I haven’t thought about it at length and I’m anxious my judgments are wrong, I do feel a need to purse my lips at the Zack Davis section.
