Thanks for sharing this link. My god there is something about this writing style that's just incredibly entertaining to read.

Most of the time I get so bored reading such long articles, like the New Yorker ugh. But this is the first time I've enjoyed such a lengthy read! I hope I can decrypt what the author is doing to make reading such fun.



Literally all of his posts are like this. It’s crazy.

These two are more life-advice-y, but he also does some fairly deep dives on various problems he sees with scientific research (and psychology in particular), and his writing is no less entertaining.

In fact, one of his posts is actually about how he thinks scientists should make more effort to make their papers fun to read!

It’s fantastic, and I also hope to emulate it.


Probably because the author is not trying to appeal to a corporate organization but just writing in his own tone of voice.

I must be boring AF; I usually like the New Yorker's articles.
