Paul Graham on Good Writing

https://www.paulgraham.com/goodwriting.html "Writting that sounds good is most likely to be right" Being Right is different than being True

"The writing in textbooks and popular surveys can be bad for the same reason: the author isn't developing the ideas, merely describing other people's. It's only when you're writing to develop ideas that there's such a close connection between the two senses of doing it well."
