I think this is basically wrong. If you know what motivates you, you will generally find other media to express yourself, not blogging. Like Twitter. Blogging tends to clarify very illegible motives into less illegible ones.

Yeah, chip-on-shoulder is not very workable for that. It can power things like standup, music, entrepreneurship, polemic, journalism, etc. Taleb is a rare longform resentment/spite guy.

Anti-Fragile is a better book, and more skimmable too.
