Indeed. How many people know who HL Mencken is?

Alexander is a good writer, and I appreciate how he is able to tackle assumptions and challenge mainstream opinions, and does so systematically.

But he's writing 10 pages of what could be summed up in 10 bullet points.

The intellectual collateral is nice, but he's not really breaking new ground, and I'm not sure what he's going to share with the next generation of readers

Mencken gets quoted pretty regularly in my circles :shrug:

Alexander is extremely difficult to get clear quotes out of - pithy sentences that would fit in a tweet, for example.
