There is one person whose writings seem of better quality to me than either yours or Eliezer's, and that's Yvain. What do you think his writing style is?
(To be clear, I enjoy what you and EY write, despite the style differences, especially when you are at your best.)
The writer who I like more than Eliezer, Luke or Yvain is Robin Hanson.
His posts seem supremely succinct and clear. There is no obfuscation of language and there is little attempt to add dressing or flavoring. Examples are extremely relevant. Typically, many possible hypotheses are considered and reasons provided for choosing a subset of these. He is also the best summarizer in the business.
