FWIW, I found the layout entertaining.
- usrusr 3y agoI think it's a really nice example of form matching content: a very long list of roughly equally improbable events. No prose could ever express the sheer quantity of it all like that seemingly endless list of bullet points. I kind of expected the last bullet point to be "wrote and published his own own biography, few other sources remain"
- zharknado 3y agoAgreed, it kind of reads like an overly long and insanely impressive CV passed along in a blasé sort of way. It paints Cochrane as someone who was a lot more interested in doing things than convincing people what cool things he had done, which by the raw facts seems plausible haha.
