- bongripper 3y agoYeah, I read some of his essays. I like some of the ones where he stayed in his area of expertise, like "Ontology Of Psychiatric Conditions: Taxometrics" ( https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/ontology-of-psychiatric-conditions https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/ontology-of-psychiatric-con...). The other ones I've read are big fancy word salad unfortunately. Can you recommend others like the series I linked above?

- emmelaich 3y agoThey're dense sometimes but for me the furthest thing from word salad. Every paragraph feels carefully considered and apposite.
