> Length is just an attempt to be less wrong
Don't know if it was intended but there's something to be said about the discussions happening at length on www.lesswrong.com and I felt I had to acknowledge your penmanship.
On the actual topic I for one think some people like reading themselves just as much as hearing themselves thus they're writing for their own audience of one.
Yeah sure. Writing is a way of structuring your thinking. Now whether you need to air that out to the public is a question of character. I tend to do 90% of writing purely for myself and need to force myself to write a blog post, for others that may differ.
Some of my favourite websites are weird 90s website where some weirdo decided to dedicate a website to their extremely obscure niche interest in way more detail than anybody would ever need.
