Rationalist Blogging

1 GoKawiil brief on this topic

Essay criticizes rationalist bloggers for excessive length over clarity

A blogger critiques the rationalist writing community, citing examples like Eliezer Yudkowsky's million-word 'sequences' and a 9,000-word Gwern post on nicotine, arguing these posts are needlessly long and tedious. The author contrasts this with their own 2,700-word piece on Catholic miracle apologetics, which cut 70% of its draft text, to argue brevity serves readers better.
