      Burying a call to action in dense text is such a pain in the butt. I’m generally interested, but considering how many of these go nowhere, it doesn’t seem worth the effort.

          Solutions don’t need to be easy or bite sized, but they do need to be explained in a way that people want to read.

          Burying them in dense text is one step away from putting them on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying “Beware of the Leopard.”

            still slightly less painful than listening to vogon poetry.

            look, the hyperspace bypass is upon us. if you happen upon the literary equivalent of a subether sense-o-matic and a digital thumb, I will have my bathrobe and towel at the ready.

            but we gotta try and take everyone.

              Hiding ideas in text so dense it requires a Babel fish to understand won’t bring many people with us.

    If only there was an oompa-loompa failed businessman, aided by Russia to weaken his own country from within, who could take on such a mission - where could we find such an extraordinary person?
