New to the deeper internet? Just about anyone who has been aware of gwern for long comes to believe he's got some special skills, even if they disagree with him. He's a niche celebrity entirely for being insightful and interesting.

If nothing else, the tech used for Gwern's website is positively inspiring for knowledge organisation system geeks. It's really cool and unique.
