Whatever that thing that characterizes his writing is, this has tons of it. I think I like it.

I feel genuinely sorry for him. Seems that leftist bullshit has damaged him right from the start.

In the post about his mixup with airport security he comes across as the stereotypical "professor with head in the clouds", to an extent that I did not believe possible in real life. He's a walking cartoon character.

The craziest part of his story isn't even the thing with the cops, it's this:

>the contemptuous American Airlines counter staff deliberately refused to check us in, chatting as we stewed impotently, so that we’d no longer be on time and they could legally give our seats away to others, and strand us in an airport with two young kids.

The guy has some sort of persecution complex.

I'd imagine there was some legal/technical reason that they weren't allowed on the flight, and Aaronson was too blinded by rage and/or autism to comprehend.

>On SneerClub, someone opined that not only was I an oblivious idiot at the smoothie counter, I must also be oblivious to how bad the incident makes me look—since otherwise, I would never have blogged about it. I ask my detractors: can you imagine, for one second, being so drunk on the love of truth that you’d take the experiences that made you look the most pathetic and awkward, and share them with the world in every embarrassing detail—because “that which can be destroyed by the truth should be”? This drunkenness on truth is scary, it’s destabilizing, it means that every day you run a new risk of looking foolish. But as far as I can introspect, it’s also barely distinguishable from the impulse that leads to doing good science: asking the questions everyone else knows better than to ask, clarifying the obvious, confessing one’s own doofus mistakes. So as a scientist, I’m grateful to have this massive advantage, for all its downsides.

This - and I am making the comparison not because I am trying to insult Aaronson, but because I cannot shake off the impression - is an intelligent man's version of https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Honest_Content.

It's different, but they are both from an autistic kind of mind. Scott can't navigate complicated social situations. So he wants to make everything clear and precise, that way he knows what to do. CWC is too retarded to control himself.
