This blog is interesting because the author is clearly on the cusp of achieving a greater level of understanding. He's thinking about a lot of things as deeply as possible in the normie intellectual framework, and he's running into its limits.
For example, his post "Dividing Tasks" has some pretty good insight into the advantages/disadvantages of gender roles, but he just barely fails to make the leap to the next level of understanding, which is to analyze these tradeoffs in terms of (multi-round) auctions in the sexual market. Instead he falls into the very normie suggestion of "what if we used time tracking?"
Same with his article on tickling; he notices that reality violates his expectations here, but he doesn't quite make the leap to understanding why his prediction was wrong.
The author is clearly very smart, but he seems to be stuck with an ontology designed to serve less intelligent people
