pg is certainly not the best speaker I've seen but is one of my favourites to listen to. Every word has so much value behind it, and the honesty of his thoughts comes across much better in-person than in-essay.

I notice pg uses footnotes very liberally throughout all of his essays. How do you decide when something should be a footnote, as opposed to another sentence or parenthesized thought or simply redacted?

I'm used to footnotes being links and references, not clarifications or justifications as I often find here.
