The best way to respond to criticism is at such great, vacuous length, you exhaust them to the point they give up and go away

tips for low-cost production of that great and vacuous length? I can point to concrete examples of people doing this, maybe, in the wild, and they are beautiful. I think the responder put in a good twelve hours a pop, though.

Trump! Any dictator in fact. Seems to be a primary job qualification, being able to drone on for hours daily to a captive audience.

In your line of work many gurus do this too. Producing tapes that go on for dozens of hours used to be a primary cult growth-hack. College roommate used to listen to Art of Living (Ravishankar) tapes... hours daily saying nothing in a soothing ASMR voice. Annoyed me no end.

Ah yes. People who follow me may note that my current 15,000 word thing is painfully long but written with zero repetition, on purpose. That makes it a very steep interpretive cliff, but I refuse to waste people's time in the other direction, by like podcasting or something.

I've thought about trying to do content isomorphism--long audio for people who like that, but utterly credibly (to the audio-haters) truly saying absolutely nothing more than what's in the written material, so that the audio-haters never, ever have to deal with the long versions.

It’s hard. I’ve tried that with just reading written texts to make podcasts but it’s tough to not deviate. Easier to have someone else read the audio I suspect.

Another reader would be tempting, to avoid that deviation pressure. But maybe (especially?) problematic to have another reader for meditation-related writing. Maybe a collaborator would read my stuff w/ the right vibe, though. Seen in wild: @VincentHornhttps://twitter.com/VincentHorn/status/1219595767108730880?s=20 …

Yep. Gurus gotta read their own material
