There's something about this guy's style of prose that I find deeply unreadable.
Edit: I think I've figured it out. If there's a complicated way to say something simple, he takes the complicated way. If there's a rarely seen word he can substitute where a common word will do, he uses the rarely used word.
His prose reads heavy, but the ideas in it are light. This is like the exact opposite of Paul Graham. His prose is easy, but I find deep and actionable knowledge in many things he writes.
