"what am I doing?"
"is this any use?"
not realizing that the problem was you in the first place
at least partially you
it's just sad, it's not really anyone's "fault"
everyone is thinking well
good intentions
Wildblood has a good attitude to comments, but a more esoteric group of topics
Bruce Charlton is one of the seminal figures of what became the "alt right"
nester and fallot finally meet
his low key influence has been extremely potent
he himself realized this somewhat
not specific to himself
but that apparently not-a-big-deal stuff can be important
it's important to speak the truth even in case one person hears it
It also has to do with what's talked about in the article, and how elaborately. In this regard, bruce articles don't invite as much comments as john's.
you just don't know how important or not it is
John expects comments to complete his articles.
that's true
yes, it's a welcoming attitude
occasionally Charlton does this as well
and when he does, he doesn't get many comments
John will often leave things open ended, to be possibly concluded in comment discussions.
his tone is open ended more so than his conclusions
"come in, lets talk, this is what I think"
vs.
"this is what I think, oh are you listening? have something to say? you better else scurry off"
There's a great bit of the later as well.
Bruce also is more of a loony, that discourages participation as he's hardly matched.
I think the only word that suffices is genius
Bruce Charlton is a bona fide genius
and like the great geniuses of the west of a not-so-old time
Yes, people are humbled, acting humbled(shutting up and not commenting).
a polymath, a man of great learning
he says "crazy" things often
and other people respond with
"haha, that's crazy"
not realizing he has already thought it out their way
it's amusing to watch
somewhat frustrating
