    There is something demonic about this style of LinkedIn paragraph segmentation.

    It is meant to make a text punchy and dramatic. It aims to imbue every sentence with gravitas and a deep, resonant wisdom.

    I find it repulsive.

    While people believe it makes for a better, more compelling text, it is in fact only a subterfuge to make a liberal's shallow and inhumane worldview sound like something it is not.

    It makes me want to punch whoever is writing like this.

    You are not wise, you are not changing the reader's perspective on the world and this text is only more impactful insofar as it makes you sound pretentious, pedantic and self-important.

    Stop doing this. I beg you.

      I think it's just how people who don't read anything other than self-help drivel think writing is supposed to sound. You're not laying out a coherent train of thought or narrative, you're generating aphorisms.
