Slip Slop

Chill Annoying, Rant

Most written media is mid-wit slop, because thereโ€™s a literacy gate just to participate at all. If you canโ€™t clear it, youโ€™re not in anyone’s view, and if you can youโ€™re funneled into a narrow band of โ€œreadableโ€ output.

So the people who can barely read are aspirants hoping for the day they can finally understand the slop. Meanwhile, the mid-wits who are the actual target audience treat the pap like the ceiling. Itโ€™s all they can grok, and they get offended the moment you suggest they stop accepting spoon-feeding and look past it to something more complex and accurate.

So for those reasons slop is about all there is.
