Most lives could be much shorter, too, if we insisted on measuring their worth against brutal, joyless utilitarian metrics.

@Mer__edith I find that most of my favourite books are too short and I'm disappointed when it's over.

But then again, I'm not a soulless technocrat ...

@Mer__edith Someone once said that AI fanboys are basically nerds with a very limited view of the real world "inventing" things that have existed for ages --in this case, CliffsNotes.

@Mer__edith I doubt he ever heard of cliff notes.

@Mer__edith not to be supportive of space karen, but I've heard interviews with non-fiction authors who claim that publishers force them to increase the word count of their books artificially sometimes, claiming they won't really sell otherwise.

@arikb that's not an indictment of long books that an indictment of books padded with bullshit
