Not sure, but he's (co)written a couple books since he left here. So he is prolific in the very least.

This looks like a page turner.

Then again, Principles of Typology would probably sound pretty arcane to a person not into the subject. I liked that book.

That's my point. I love the guy, but I rarely made it through his posts even though I wanted to.

And that's back when I tried to read everything on the forums.

That's my fault. But I think the world is better off now.

Think I'll write some books, if I can think of something.

Lol. I'll have to tell him about this. Not sure what he'll make of it.

:fpalm:

Why am I not surprised...

And the forum cycle comes full circle!

Too bad sw doesn't post anymore
I'm not too disappointed. Part of me died inside when he posted that wall of text about how iNtuitives are more "evolved". It sure didn't make me want to read any of his books.

Precisely. I'm think he's smart, but he is quite bad at communicating. Everything he writes has to be a fucking essay with unnecessarily complicated language. Before any of you start pointing fingers my way, I have a masters and hope to start a PHD soon; I'm used to reading journal articles. I hope he has a fantastic editor.

Use SW as an example of an INTP who produces WOTs.

It's possible that English is not his first language. Now think about what you were reading.

I doubt that matter to be honest. It's about the formality of the language and the choice of words. Someone who has English as a second language wouldn't feel the need to torture themselves like that.
