great post. in some ways he feels like a victim of the "we're in the moment space" style of the modern music economy and in other ways a collaborator (for lack of a better term).

i liked aim and ignite back in 2013 though

“Nice,” another user replied.

Can't disagree with you on that. I imagine something else that contributes is that video is super predominant now yet the most accessible way to create is to write prose - I am imagining there's a lot of backfeeding with people writing as if they were writing a film but as prose.

My personal experience has been that a lot of what passes for "show, don't tell" ends up making people write more like movies are shot. Film can't show interiority like prose can, but a lot of middling genre and fan fiction has reaction shots written in prose.

It was the suppliest of days, it was the demandest of days. Savings hardly seemed equal to investments anymore after Larry's wife left him. Divorce was so sudden to him - hadn't he studied enough game theory to foresee the possibility?

Interesting take! I'm not sure I'd 100% agree that the quoted passage is telling and not showing though. Clearly it is telling us a lot about what the character is thinking, but I think for example it also shows us their emotional state super effectively through the long, scattered, run-on sentences, repetition and so on. You can't just show! You have to tell some things to show others, and there is absolutely a depth to the quoted passage.

I'm going to write the first economics fiction novel.

move over UFOs

and he is right

that one wasn't very good imo

i completely forgot they did a superstar saga remake. since they've already gone bankrupt due to people like me, i can now pirate it without feeling bad.

somehow i doubt that any of this will actually affect him. he'll just get bored, appoint some guy he likes as ceo and move on

Bennett Cyphers, a staff technologist at the EFF

they hired him just for the name

i have this writer blocked, and i do believe it's because they come off as a xi apologist
