I think his aggressive contempt for the reader also makes TLP a much easier writer to bounce off of into a healthier direction. Like, I remember reading his stuff and thinking “wow, this guy is an asshole” and being more concerned than excited when something made sense. Eventually those parts that kind of made sense connected to a framework with less hate and rage.
