In the spirit of Descartes, the ideas in this post are literally meditations.
The style isn’t really working for me either. I go in reading posts expecting them to have one thing they are primarily about. This one doesn’t really set up the different expectations it’s apparently supposed to, and ends up looking like it’s just rambling. I’m not charitable enough to assume that the essential rambliness is due to a meta-level narrative device rather than just writing a post without really having an idea what it should be about.
