I suppose I am probably more impressed by the median sequence post than the median post EY writes to facebook now. But my default explanation would just be that 1) he already picked the low hanging fruit of his best ideas, and 2) regression to the mean—no artist can live up to their greatest work.
Edit: feel compelled to add—still mad respect for modern EY posts. Don’t stop writing buddy. (Not that my opinion would have much effect either way.)

I actually prefer the average post in Inadequate Equilibria quite a bit over the average post in the sequences.
