Tweeps! This is the one you absolutely must read! It explains so much and I will be quoting it lots. It needs reading slowly and with full concentration but is clear and well...right.https://twitter.com/AreoMagazine/status/972681293405106176 …

I found it poorly written obscurantist academese that managed to make an interesting idea boring. But I agree with the central thesis.

I fully agree with this. Asking who the target audience is here. Because I have a feeling it's a niche group.

My feeling was that it wouldn't have huge popular appeal but that those it did appeal to would love it intensely.

Hm. Maybe, yes. But I think it goes against my belief that such pieces should be readable and understandable for a wider/unprofessional audience. Which I think it isn't. I categorize it as unattainable for the pleb interested in the subject.

I don't think people have to commit to a certain style. What I loved about that was the mix of the literary with the analytical precision. But I don't think it's unattainable for the layman either. Just takes a little focus. Might need to be read twice.

Maybe I'm wrong. But I disagree on this. Don't get me wrong. I don't think it's bad. I like it enough. But I think the layman will be put off. I would revisit the piece. I would take the time. I just suggest many will not do the same.

I think the same. I said so to the author when he submitted it. I don't think it will have mass popular appeal but those who love it will really love it. That's why I intend to talk a lot about it and break it down so it is more accessible. But I wouldn't change a word of it.

I would never suggest you do/he does. If this is the goal, then it will probably be successful. I'm curious to see how this will go. Also good for me to see if I understood the piece correctly :)
