Guidebook to the vast corpus of Moldbuggian assaults:
I recommend reading one of the 3 introductory series he wrote: How Dawkins got pwned and A Gentle Introduction to Unqualified Reservations are superb--An Open Letter to Open-Minded Progressives is also good if you're desperate to dose yourself with another 50,000 words.
Moldbug will never be popular because he crushes cherished delusions Left, Right and Center--then Left again for good measure. But, when he turns his powers to interpreting U.S. history (for the last 100 years synonymous with world history) he sports like a killer whale at play, one that found passage from ocean to lake, now the only predator that matters among freshwater creatures that have never seen his like before. His activities may amount to a succession of executions, but there is an art on display and a power and a wonderful whale-sense for selecting victims that sustains the interest perhaps indefinitely.
