The posts are intuitive; I flow through the text without any jarring.
I think the trick might be (I’m making this up, I don’t know what anyone is actually doing) to not try to analyze each line or try to make sure you’ve understood each sentence. But to let yourself read all the words and then at the end, try to notice if you feel any different about certain concepts, situations, or beliefs.
My guess is people have different default methods of absorbing or processing text. If Zvi exists on one end of a spectrum, it would be nice to have whatever is at the opposite end. But I don’t want to lose the benefits of having, what to me is a very enjoyable and easy reading experience. (But I also want to accommodate other processing types.)
For an example of a similar writing style (which I posit is worse than Zvi’s but has similar properties), the book Finite & Infinite Games by James Carse.
I have nearly the opposite experience, FWIW.
