I mean this politely, but this is really difficult to read. It seems to just jump headfirst into stream-of-consciousness style buzzwords, and presumes a lot of background from the reader. I tried to follow, but I honestly cannot tell if this is a legitimate thought piece, satire, or AI-generated.
- taurusnoises 3y agoThanks for the comment. It's definitely in the hybrid rumination-essay dept, and assumes a certain level of familiarity with the subject matter. In the same way a typical piece on coding assumes as much. Though, I did chuckle about the "satire" and "AI" part. What buzzwords are you referring to? "Intertextuality" is a word/concept that's been around for over forty years. (Much longer as a concept). "Rhizome" as a philosophical concept/coinage about the same. They're pretty well established. I will say, pieces dealing with the above are typically a tough sell. People feel alienated by the concepts and especially when they're leveraged so casually (as in the piece above). I knew that when writing it. But, kids gotta get it off the laptop.
- appplication 3y agoBuzzword is probably not the right word. Reading this, I was left with the unique feeling that there were both too many words, but also not enough. I suspect it’s because I’m both missing context and easily confused. And that’s fine, probably. Apologies if I came off rudely.
- taurusnoises 3y agoOh, not at all. I thought you were rather courteous. Not digging something I write is perfectly acceptable, imho. Also, "there were both too many words, but also not enough" is a perfectly reasonable takeaway. I will try to do better next time.
