Let’s just cut ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ down to 40 minutes, because - why couldn’t Kubrick just compress all that slow motion classical music stuff down to the actual point of the movie? ‘Humanity makes first contact. They send out a spaceship to the source. The AI on the ship becomes sentient and murderous. One man escapes, and arrives at the source. He exits his 3 dimensional existence and enters a psychedelic-esque state whereupon he transcends humanity as we know it.’ Okay, now nobody needs to see ‘2001’ again - ever! Symphonies - what the fuck? Why couldn’t Mozart have just written a 3 1/2 minute long pop song instead of wasting all of our time? What an asshole! Yet we celebrate this music as some of the greatest of all time? Shame on us. Shakespeare? Ugh. They fall in love. Their love isn’t approved. They kill themselves. Get to the point! You’re totally right. There’s absolutely no reason for us to do anything but compress all information into Tweet-level hyperchunks. :)
