As @thegdb pointed out, the economic incentives should be tied to Kolmogorov complexity.
@brikis98 b) Well, clearly 5x-ing length of a book would decrease rate of learning (no?). If so, you can just run that argument backwards.

@brikis98 Presumably, it approaches at least a local minimum. But, per (a), ideas that *could* be reduced below the threshold aren't. -
@patrickc E.g. do consumers see a 50 page book and think "that must not be a serious work and isn't worth the money"? - 1 more reply

@patrickc Rate of learning for society may be influenced by book length, as people might avoid longer books (again, I don't have the #'s).Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
