The style is more an adaptation to a different venue—TIME is more high-brow than The Huffington Post or Lifehack, so I was writing in a more high-brow style. I guess you fall within the style “Overton Window” for this style :-)
More broadly, my goal, as well as that of other people involved with Intentional Insights, is to aim for the style that would connect with the audience of each venue in order to spread Rationality and Effective Altruism ideas most effectively by bridging the inference gap with each audience. So I’m not surprised that more LWs would connect with the style expressed in this piece, as most LWs tend to be quite a bit above the level of style of the average Lifehack reader.
Glad you liked this piece more!
