rebuttal: maybe you're using Blub and Lisp sounds bad, not because Lisp is bad, but because the people who have the time and energy to explain it don't have the TALENT to explain it well http://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html https://twitter.com/random_eddie/status/989862988394921984 …
also, economics imagine someone has a GREAT point of view. It would really help me, a ton. They try to explain it to me. It sounds crazy. I say "this sounds crazy". They say "trust me - after 200 hours of listening, you'll get it". I - w no proof of utility - say "no"

this could be called a market failure perhaps there should be some contract / instrument that makes evangelization a paying enterprise. Guy finds a fiscal backer, signs him up, gets me to sign "I will listen for 200 hours...for $20,000" contract. He pays me, I listen >>>

at end I AM convinced, and clause 2 of the contract is invoked "if I agree that this is great and has > $40,000 of utility, I will pay back the $20,000 I received, plus another $5k". Short of that, truths with high bar to entrance will be underdelivered, no?
