I think he meant unintuitive in the sense of “not accessible by human intuition, type 1, fast thinking” not “hard to grasp upon reflection by my intended audience”
Yes. That is the sense in which the power laws seem entirely intuitive, my model (and memory) of myself at age 8 and to the median person in the culture I grew up in. I am wondering now to what extent this intuition difference can be attributed to the degree to which the memes in question were already fully disseminated among that group. Given that I have hazy memories of conversations regarding these topics from when I was (approximately) 8 the “type 1 fast thinking’ would have a handle on it by now.
