It's full of smartassery. I prefer SW in stead.

@hopefuldreamer yes, he is fantastic. so, i have to deliberately skip his answers sometimes because I want to read and upvote diverse answers from answerers all around the world, not just India. :-)

Agreed .He writes in detail and they are long answers.But he is well read man.He goes in history of everything I like.Which of his answers had amazed you like made you to read him more?
ThoughtBubble · 51-55, M
@hopefuldreamer yes,i like the history part too. i like his answers on communism although I disagree with him. I like those on economics. I don't like the pro-BJP ones, but i like the way he builds his arguments for them. Ditto for bullet trains. He seems utterly pro-capitalism, which part I disagree. one of his beauties is, you like the style and the flow even if you don't like the conclusions.

@ThoughtBubble what's so wrong about being pro-bjp?
ThoughtBubble · 51-55, M
@Unlearn nothing wrong, it's one view among the many views. his other answers seem very technically researched, one would expect more neutral answers from a writer of his stature. also, i am not particularly pro-BJP, though i side with them on a couple of issues and not with them on others. so, i see the writer as a reflection of my likes and dislikes.

@ThoughtBubble maybe it is beyond your capacity to comprehend his writing completely!?
ThoughtBubble · 51-55, M
@Unlearn yup, may be. at my current level in evolution. :-)

@ThoughtBubble idk why...you always came across as someone who tries to please people. I had noticed it on EP too.

@Unlearn haha, good observation worth my introspective attention, dunno if it's true. may be I realize the value of diversity too much.
