The the undermining of the motivation of several competing demands on attention accelerates book projects at times like this. Shorter length = shorter time constant of relevance in general. I'd say the typical good essay I write has a half life of 5 years. A typical book is 10y.

This tells me that we are collectively intuiting that anything with a horizon of <5 years is of questionable relevance now, and losing motivation to pursue it. Motivational cache invalidation. But anything where we are calibrated to a 5+ y horizon is still motivationally intact.
