Yea. I thought being literate was a standard. I have had people refuse to read important things because they are "too long". wtf is going on with people not giving a crap enough about anything to read? What's with closing libraries because of the internet? Where do people think real content comes from, and what is credible source anymore to anyone? What are facts and where do they come from if you can not read and it is not fashionable to do so? I have to dumb things down everywhere for marketing purposes so people will latch on to stuff they were interested in, in the first place. Why do I have to package things because people won't read. It's stuff they like in the first place because my stuff is extremely targeted. People are so stupid right now. It's a matter of writing so people will read it, short packaged terms, make it pretty, and make it so some stupid assistant doesn't throw it out somewhere in the world. Why? Because she/he doesn't know her boss is interested and that is exactly what her/his boss does for a living but she/he doesn't know enough to fucking read. I am sorry for my rant. I am tired of dumbing things down for people and making it
look pretty. If it's too wordy people trash it. I am a reader and writer and this is starting to piss me off and my age is showing. I learn a lot from the older and wiser. Why? Because they read and absorb. They have a bit of continuity that is sadly lacking. They have character. If you don't love books or reading do not breed. Sorry. Ok. Done.
I don't mean all of that, I just get tired of packaging valuable things in a dumbed down fashion. It's expected and you do it.
I want to fight it. But that will go where? Nowhere. Newspeak people. Newspeak. No ready writey. Pretty picture with words on it.
The details make the body of everything. Everything is a compilation of
details, wtf is wrong with people? Everything is the sum of parts and if you can not describe those parts what do you know? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. And no I am not going to source wikipedia here on illiteracy.Ok I'm really done, for real. Touchy subject I guess. Carry on.
(I guess I am not actually done here)
I think this is what Socrates was describing long ago. And now we are at our worst. Globally 'merican. Speak our lingu-age. I am tired of dumbing things down even for readers like you. I start speaking at work and one person understands me there, even though I am intentionally being direct and accurate one-hundred percent. I have to package things tightly just to talk to our owner. They think I am a freak because I can speak and write eloquently and be incredibly stupid. It's the intimidation factor. I always wage that. If I am talking over everyone's heads
they think I am crazy when I know and few others know I am dead-on. Whatever. Even my husband thinks I am crazy because of things
I know. There are lots of things I read and know about. I have actualized my reading material that came from all ages but people do not get a thing. I am "crazy" because I am smart, not a genius, and I know it. Part of being resourceful is reading the entire body of something including all the details. I read authors that write about one word for 200 pages font 9. I am a reader of the worst kind becuse I care about what I read and judge from there and question everything if I think I need to. I feel sorry for the scholars in a world of chaotic stupidity. They are doomed and lost for good reason.
Extra long post.
Thanks for listening.
