It might, but does it come off as pretentious or genuine? It doesn't read like he keeps a thesaurus next to him to sound smarter. Keep in mind he's been doing this for a very long time as well. Also he's well-versed on the subject of rationality, so I would argue that he's probably more rational than most people.

I am not familiar with the author, and read it as genuine, examples where they exhibit humorous self-awareness and humility:
"If your brains are still too small to process such esoteric terms"
"It’s a crazy thing to try, when even your own local predictions are so far from perfect accuracy."
"I cannot quite remember why I thought this would be a good idea. I blame the pronatalist influencer conspiracy."
