Yes. Is that pathetic? In any case, I chose the first two options of course.
That I do, good call - have you read him? Or did you google that?
I never read the lectures, but I read his book "Surely you're joking" many years ago. Great book.

Can you show me any specific examples of my writing that you consider to be "dense and convoluted and intricate"?

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Which makes me wonder why so many seem to have trouble understanding my writing. And even I don't always agree with some of my points (after I give them some more thought, or someone points something out to me).
What's clear is that many here really dislike his ideas and/or style of communicating, so they can't be bothered even trying to understand him. Fair enough I suppose.
I do think that's a huge part of it, and explains much of the discord on this forum. I don't see how that's "fair" though. If I'm going to disagree with someone, I do my best to try to understand what they're saying to make sure I understand what I'm disagreeing with.
That's fair.
