Surely Scott Alexander is not because lord of mercy is he verbose.


If you're reading an article with a title "Much more than you ever wanted to know about..." then you can't claim you haven't been warned. For people that can't deal with it there's always twitter (and insane people that publish a full-size article as a thread of 285 tweets, God bless thread aggregators).


What about all the other articles, which are not titled "Much more than..."?

What about the individual paragraphs, with their unendurable periphrasis and opacity?


If the writing style bothers you that much then why do you read it?
