I wish to improve my communication and appreciate that Paul Graham thought hard then freely shared his insights on such a difficult topic for a great deal of people.
I've always wondered how and why Geoff Bezos ran Amazon with six page essays and now I think I'm a bit closer to understanding.
- rimliu 7y agoDo you also ask cinema critics to show their own movies, food critics to provide their own food, etc.? One does not necessarily need to be able to _make_ something to be able to _tell_ whether something is good or not.
- austhrow743 7y agoNot even cinema critic, cinema viewer. "yeah I don't really like the Marvel movies, I think they're overrated" "oh? Can you show me your movie so I can see what a good movie looks like?" What a complete and utterly garbage thing to say on that guys part.
- meekstro 7y agoI agree. In hindsight you are completely right. My immediate reaction to the essay was I thought it was a brilliant resource. My gut feeling was that criticism of an educational author's writing on the topic of useful essay writing without stating the why wasn't useful. Asking for the critics own writing was a cheap shot and it was wrong. Sorry OP. In hindsight I should have said "That's an interesting insight would you mind sharing some better educational resources on writing a useful essay." If I'd lent greater attention to the essay than its comments, I would have.
