yeah, this is very real - the sort of people who complain that actually making art is too hard and time-consuming to expect them to do are the exact same people who insist that you don't learn anything by studying art

A lot of speculation about how things got so Stupid and Evil and I think one reason is we've collectively been too tolerant of Stupid and Evil for too long

OK, I've got a few minutes to kill, so I'll go ahead and ignore that this is bait. Bait that OP doesn't seem to realize makes him look sad as hell, but bait none the less. This is someone who doesn't understand WHY people read. The purpose of reading, even non-fiction, ISN'T pure info gathering.

If you are too young to remember the Iraq War, you'll hear "no one protested" and "no one knew they were lying." Millions of people knew they were lying and protested. The press not only did not want a record of mass dissent; they did not want a record of mass knowledge of lies.

AI was trained on my books (without my permission and against my will) so this annoys me. I never use AI. Not for research, not for images, not for writing. AI used me.

When Joseph Lister began advocating germ theory in the 19th century, his critics ridiculed him. One man would walk into the operating theatre, slam the door, and say: "There, Mr. Lister's germs can't get in!" Never thought when I was writing THE BUTCHERING ART that we'd be backsliding into the past.

The article covers a lot of the hardships we went through during #veilguard but to me, they almost didn't matter - because we went through all of it as a team. The spirit of camaraderie in the systems team was legendary. That, to me, is the biggest heartache from all of this. I miss my found family.
