I can't tell what any of this means

That’s been my reaction to every Slate Star Codex/Astral Codex Ten piece I’ve read.

I'm not sure how to react to that without being insulting, I find their works pretty well written and understandable (and I'm not a native speaker or anything). Maybe it's the lesswrong / rationalist angle?

i really dislike the constant appeal to authority of techfluencers on HN
