Funny enough, I always loved Burning Bright on his shows, while he drove me nuts in his writing (when he’s a professional writer) by using exponentially more words than I do - and I’m a bit wordy.
Burning Bright is a good guy who's very smart and produces some good analyses. HOWEVER, he does need to realize that writing internet articles (and books) for the general public is very different than writing scholarly works, and that his excessively-wordy, "highfalutin" language is alienating his audience (including those who have "read for a living" and those who spent years regularly - and adeptly - wading through such writing) and, instead, write for the "average reader" (who has very little time to read and even less time to attempt to digest long, complex material and who, it has been estimated, reads at a 5th grade level).
I watch Badlands shows and love them, and yes BB is verbose. He repeats himself using different words, when I got it the first time. I really love Alpha & Josh.
"Summary" is bit of a stretch for his 50,000 word meandering epics. It's the reason I quit reading Burning Bright, I don't have all day.
Likewise. I started getting Grok to summarize BB's epics but decided that it wasn't worth the effort.

Dude has some good insights though.
Ditto.
