    I read a really good essay at one point about how Scott Alexander (the last psychiatrist guy) structures his essays in this way to make you feel as though you’re being really thoughtful while not doing any thinking whatsoever.

    This is like when freeze-gamers feel smart after finishing a video game puzzle that was specifically curated to be solved and make them feel smart lol.

    Maybe even lower than gamer mentality.
