While the writing on Slate Star Codex could be more concise, I do enjoy a lot of the ideas presented.
A couple of style changes would have a much larger impact on the reading experience. As is there are about 115 characters per line and a narrow line height. Bumping the paragraph size to 16px and the line height to 1.6 makes the article dramatically less tiresome to read.
If you publish long-form content, typography is incredibly important. For long articles like this 65-80 characters per line is the sweet spot.
