If you want terse, follow smart people on twitter, then when they talk to people in terse ways, you get to see it, terse responses are enforced, and so on <3
Being too verbose is one possible protective strategy for critiquing bad faith public speech. Then, as a second order optimization, the roman numeral thing is something that I think maybe Scott and I picked up from The Last Psychiatrist, as a way to make the length tolerable, and indicate “beats” in the emotional movement, when writing about subjects where bad faith can’t be ignored as something potentially salient to the object level discussion.
My most recent follow was based on this beauty, which aphoristically encodes seemingly-authentic (and possibly virtuous) self doubt plus awareness of vast semantic systems and deep time.
