I agree "elaborate" is the keyword but for a different reason. He doesn't elaborate about what he considers "elaborate" so we have to fill in the blanks.
When I read it, "our most provocative thinkers and writers" made me wonder:
- Given any system don't you have a range of rigid versus loose followers? This looks true from my own observations of the note talking community.
- Couldn't normies those who are not "our most provocative thinkers and writers" get value out of such systems?
- Is Sasha aspiring to be one of "our most provocative thinkers and writers"? He wants to make his mark on the world so part of this writing is self talk.
Sasha accomplishes his goal. it's provocative writing and has produced a decent HN response. I have no evidence he means what he says because if so, it's a topic of personal preference. Fun and interesting but not immediately valuable (to me).
