It’s hypnotic writing in the style of Yudkowsky, Ron Hubbard or supplement scam videos on YouTube. On one hand it is pretending to be thinking rationally about things but with a heavy dose of fantasy mixed in that can put readers in a muddled mental state. They drone on and on and on so that you either give up reading it or go into a trance.


Supplement videos never get to the (or any) point though - you can watch it for hours for amusement or just look up the company to see what they are selling. It's like that infinite GIF of a truck heading towards the security pillar, shown from all camera angles.


Goodness! Please expand!
