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.

Try reading it out loud. I do when editing and that's what made me fall in love with it. As well as the precision of the identification of the problem.

I will try this. Promise. I was merely repeating what was taught to me; "Make the layman understand." And personally I think it doesn't do that.

We have agreed on that. I don't think we only need publish things which are easily consumable tho. There is also pleasure and worth in having to work for something. Not pointlessly, obviously. But something allusive and evocative & right would be lost if we broke this down.
