Yes, it's good! And I have a lot of sympathy for what I perceive to be Stahl's goals, and indeed, his methods. But I think I need an intercessor or interpreter to his prose style. This is probably a me problem and not a him problem, to be maximally fair.

Björn's writing style is intentional. He tries to make it understandable for people that have deeper understanding of the subject, but to keep out the people that doesn't know enough. It's primarily to convey what Arcan is to the people that can do something with Arcan, but to avoid attention that will ultimately lead to flame wars.

Ståhl _hates_ attention, both from being a quite private individual to having problem with weirdos showing up at his apartment when some of his videos have gone viral here on HN. (Everyone's home addresses are public here in Sweden)

Oh man, that's awful.
