Somehow I absolutely love this most recent SSC post:

I feel like the best of pre-2020 Scott is back. Also, his takedown of the first person to reply to him in the comments is just excellent.

Reading that SSC post was a trip! The insight and cleverness remind me why I started following Scott in the first place. His analysis was on point, and that comment takedown was pure gold. It’s like watching a master at work. Glad to see him back in top form.
