Hmm…. Well, technically speaking, I have a reputation for writing very dense prose that must be studied rather than read.

You can even ask ChatGPT to “write in the style of philosopher and social scientist curt doolittle” and it can. Or you can ask it to explain that style, it will.

It doesn’t quite get the serialization right, and it overgeneralizes but it’s fairly good at it. These LLMs have a hard time with rigorous logic, but it’s close.

That said, when I’m talking to the unwashed masses, I use longer-form prose to attempt to educate them against their wishes.

You see, this is why it’s valuable to use social media to provoke your involuntary need to express altruistic punishment – because I can start a thread like this, involuntarily educate you, and in the process advertise, and attract people who are interested in something more sophisticated than your gossiping, shaming, rallying and outraging. I’ve lost count of how many new followers I’ve gathered from just this one Elon-thread.

You don’t realize you’re a rat in a maze – but then you can’t resist playing the rat in the maze even if you do.

And that’s something I find profoundly fascinating evidence of the universality of social instincts.

We are not family, friends, peers, or allies, but enemies. And I have, and we have, no interest in, or want of, your approval or cooperation – because you are intrinsically immoral and don’t even know it. False equality is as serious a crime as oppression. It’s the same thing from bottom up.
