I've tried a few times to sit down and read the sequences, but I've never been able to, for the reason I think lukeprog's style is trying to address. There's only so much background information I can stand, especially if the writer isn't clear on where he's going. And this is coming from someone who sat down and read Mencius Moldbug. And some of Nietzsche. And read HPMOR in three days.

I'm still interested in LW, obviously, but for... other reasons.

(As for my own style: I hate writing anything longer than a comment, so when I do, I have to keep myself amused, which usually means Carlylean bombast.)
