Moldbug always writes things that make me think hard, and he writes them well, in a delightful style. What more can one ask for?
Really? I read a few of his articles and found him undearably smug, and excessively verbiose.
For example his "introduction to UR" spend pages on a overwrought matrix metaphor before saying anything substansive.
De gustibus non est disputandum, I suppose. For what it's worth, I loved the writing style of his earlier posts (like this one), but find the writing style of his more current stuff (like this) kind of obnoxious.
