Forest mentioned that for most people, reading his precise “EGS” format will be unparsable unless one has had practice with it. Also agreed that there is no background or context. The “ABSTract” is really too often too brief a note, usually just a reminder what the overall idea is. And the text itself IS internal notes, as you have said.
He says that it is a good reminder that he should remember to convert “EGS” to normal prose before publishing. He does not always have the energy or time or enthusiasm to do it. Often it requires a lot of expansion too – ie, some writing has to expand to 5 times their “EGS” size.
I’ll also work on this! There’s a lot of content to share, but will try and format and rephrase to be better followable for readers on LessWrong.
Your remarks make complete sense.
