The point isn’t that I can’t figure out who Burke happens to be when I run a google search. The point is that it would be possible for you to write in a way that easier to understand for everyone instead of Moldbuggese.
Burke is an extremely famous author and people use Burke all the time. Edmund Burke. People do NOT use Akrasia/In-group/outgroup/status/ all the other absurdities. If you can’t be expected to figure it out it’s your fault.
My writing style is completely different than Moldbug’s. But my utter distaste for those posers that represent such hubris considering themselves so advanced in knowledge above most other people, but cannot be expected to do any amount of work themselves is just the same.
People do NOT use Akrasia/In-group/outgroup/status/ all the other absurdities.
That’s local jargon. If you use local jargon that’s generally doesn’t need an explanation. On the other hand you were the first person to use ’Burkean sentiments” on LW. In general if you use terms with aren’t common in a field, it makes sense to explain them or replace them with more easily to understand terms. Especially as the thread title asks for an explanation for beliefs.
Moldbug is notorious for a jargon-heavy and hard-to-read writing style, which your comment is being compared to in a request for a clarified version.

Not really. Burkean sentinments isn’t in that list.
From the outside it’s not clear what “I chose to reframe around” means.
I can guess at “forward looking person” but I’m not quite sure.
Burkean sentiments is used by plenty of writers. If you can’t figure it out then it’s your fault.

Look, plenty of people use Burkean. You’re over-reacting, and you’re wrong. Give me a break. Please save this and look back at it at a future date.
I’m not reacting strongly. I’m simply pointing out that you choose language that’s not as accessible as it could be.
