You're not merely supposed to be impressed by his intelligence but in his virtue as a purely rational, unbiased mind absolutely free from any corrupting ideology.
He's an insecure like you said and a coward. Too afraid to say what he actually believes (or maybe too spiritually weak to actually commit to any), he hides his goals and motivations behind this pseudo-academic prose style.

- giraffe_lady 2y agoSure but it is the degree that's notable here.
- Viliam1234 2y ago> Too afraid to say what he actually believes I think this would sound very unlikely to any regular reader of SSC/ACX. Many articles, including this one, are explanations of what he believes and why. (Is it possible that you just find his explanations difficult to believe?)
- giraffe_lady 2y ago> (Is it possible that you just find his explanations difficult to believe?) Correct, I don't believe he's honest about his beliefs, their sources, and his motivation.
