I have to say, this post if anything is a meta argument that Plato was actually right. Behold the impatience and inattentiveness to read a short section that literally takes two minutes to parse. The internet has made people far to impatient.

- SilasX 4y agoNo, Plato wasn't right that you should make people take 2 minutes to listen to your point when you could have made it in ten seconds. And not that the personal attack was warranted, but: I'm happy to read dense material; I'd just like to know if it is worth my time first. By making me read all of the material first before I know what point it's building to, and not knowing the relevant to the article, you've made me take a lot of time just to learn that you were making a point I already agreed with. Is wasting others' time a virtue, in your mind?
