This was well written. I'm glad that I powered through the initial hesitation I felt when I recognized the narrative style.

  Can you elaborate? I also feel like I've heard this particular voice before, but I can't recall where.

    I may be imagining it but it's very reminiscent of "Scott Alexander" / Slate Star Codex / whatever he rebranded to

      I think this is definitely drawing inspiration from his writing (especially the Bay Area House Party posts; latest in the series, with the previous at the top: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/sources-say-bay-area-house-party https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/sources-say-bay-area-house-...). Just curious, but why would that make you hesitate?

    It brought to mind Edward Norton's narration in Fight Club.
