So... could this style of writing, with koans and pictures, be applied to transforming the majority of sequences into an even greater didactic tool?
Besides the obvious problems, I'm not sure how this would stand with Eliezer - they are, after all, his masterpiece.
Really, more like his student work. It was "Blog every day so I will have actually written something" not "Blog because that is the ultimate expression of my ideas".
Yep. The main problem would be that I'd been writing for year and years before then, and, alas for our unfair universe, also have a certain amount of unearned talent; finding somebody who can pick up the Sequences and improve them without making them worse, despite their obvious flaws as they stand, is an extremely nontrivial hiring problem.
Not to mention that any candidate up to the task likely has more lucrative alternatives...
