Another way to describe this writing is that it's compressed. It gives a sense of inexpressible yet crisp ideas lingering under the surface. Unfortunately, I don't think my writing often gives off this sense that I'm seeking out. Too much of a drive towards explicit crushing density.

One measure of this type of writing is whether the ideas pattern match situations by association before you've fully digested them. I fear he'll hate this entire idea for failing to understand mediocrity (which I don't) but @vgr was probably the first person whose writing did this for me.
