Ron doesn’t seem to appreciate that the audience of these posts isn’t interested in what Ron wants them to learn (which is, the mathematics of quantum mechanics), and for this audience, taking your time is not a problem.
It seems like he has unrealistically high expectations of people...
Yeah, Ron’s main complaint is that it presents Eliezer’s philosophical viewpoint, not Ron’s. Of course Ron’s philosophical viewpoint is so right that, unlike Eliezer’s, it isn’t a philosophical viewpoint at all!
To me it seemed like he was only complaining that the Quantum sequence is too easy. Something like—the first part was so obvious, that it’s a waste of time; and the second part should be shorter and full of heavy math, because those able to solve all that math would get a better understanding.
I guess the point of the sequence was to explain some confusion and mystery related to quantum physics, without having to do all the heavy math. For me, it worked. Some parts could be shorter, but I am thankful that the other parts were not shorter.
