The only things philosophers do are think and write, and somehow they are ass bad at writing.

SSC wouldn't have a niche if they could get concepts across without a bunch of obscurantist bullshit.

If you're referring to the continentals, I think French people and academics are just like that because their readers aren't impressed by books they can understand.

They're the most egregious but academics in general suffer from the same flaw.

People criticize SSC because they're like "uh leave it to the REAL experts", but A) it's just opinions and B) the 'real experts' are unreadable, so I'll continue to ignore them while occasionally checking out astralcodexten.
