That's a good story, but you didn't provide any evidence for it, so an anecdote like "I read his essay about [X] on which I'm an expert and it was wrong" would have more value.
- voidhorse 4y agoEh, it's an opinion that I'm not inclined to spend time or effort backing up. I do agree that if I did actually back it up, of course the post would be more valuable. Instead, I'll be lazy and say read the essays and judge for yourself, you might disagree! I'm also of the opinion that if you have even a passing familiarity with any "soft" science (communications, sociology, philosophy, literature) you'll likely find at least one essay that makes you agree with me.
- inimino 4y agoWell, I don't suppose I can disprove that without reading all the essays... but I do think that pg's writings have a style that's less amenable to more humanities-oriented readers.
