I relate. I edit, then edit again. How anybody can come up with the right words the first time is beyond me. And ya, brevity is power.

That is an opinion that I used to share. No more.

I have offered a dozen strange ideas here. Not difficult or complex, just strange. They are not received well.

Constraining your topic

I just said that I don’t mean plainer language.

“Should” is arguable. (For example you might be fishing for the few in the crowd) .

But yes, your choice of topic. That’s what I’m talking about. Sometimes it looks pretty narrow.

And if you do. Well, that carries with it it’s own bucket of implications.

Not talking about simplified writing.

I am not talking about better communication. If I was then I would have said “use a clearer style of speaking” or something like that.

I am talking about limiting what you discuss to the popular and easily-digested.

Just say no to rugs.

I worry about money.

Fuck!

Well I’m sure they’re throwing him a big party in the next world. Good job Mr Carter.

I figure he’s just a smart guy with a radically alien perspective. There’s still some useful overlap, surely.

I dig pink Floyd deeply.

Presently listening to obscured by clouds a lot

And therefore… this is an example of the dreams of youth definitely not being the regrets of maturity.

I think that if we made humans more moral then democracy would work better and knock over any ruling class. Maybe some kind of mental therapy. Hallucinogens? Shamanic journeying? Something to make people better. Like, less stressed. Healthier.

Humans are magic. Capable of volition. Machines can only react. AI will be something like a really good wish-granting machine. Much like it is now but better. Want it? I dunno, don’t feel much about it. It’s inevitable tho.
