Funny, when I read your post I immediately thought about Eliezer's writings, especially HP:MoR. One of the very few things I dislike about his style is that he sometimes goes into this "praise mode" all of a sudden and it feels very jarring. (Maybe I just have atypical tastes. My favorite sentence in MoR so far was "You're annoying. You should die.")

Maybe I just have atypical tastes. My favorite sentence in MoR so far was "You're annoying. You should die."

Atypical perhaps, but not unique (I can assure you).

There was a compulsion to chew and swallow chocolate. The response to compulsion was killing.

People had gathered around and stared. That was annoying. The response to annoyance was killing.

Other people were chattering in the background. That was insolent. The response to insolence was to inflict pain, but since none of them were useful, killing them would be simpler.
