    The entire “tl;dr” craze confirms my suspicion that the maximum length for any written work is now 500 words (if not 250 words). What I wonder is, if you write “tl;dr”, why not just delete the rest of what you have written?

        The actual work and its' tl;dr endnote is intended for two different audiences: the few actually interested people, and the overwhelming majority of disinterested bypasser-readers who might just give a nod, upvote or point to their post for its' summary

        Yes, but if you can summarise it...The vast majority of everything written is shit. If you can say it in two sentences you’ve already improved the writing by cutting the amount of shit in the world.

        This is why I don't write long form.

        The tl;dr is usually an 80/20 (or 50/1) summary of the piece. It leaves out the arguments for why the conclusion is true and much of the nuance.

        I think the truth doesn’t need argument; it’s apprehended immediately or not at all.

        That's true for a lot of things, but not everything. I've found that more technical and unintuitive things need more argument, though perhaps I'm just vulnerable to sophistry.

        Although arguments are admittedly just truths arranged in a way so that each seems obvious at first glance. The conclusion may or may not be obvious before reading the arguments, but should be afterwards.
