And talking of George's, Abd, I suggest you read and practice 'Orwells five rules of effective writing', as opposed to what you got taught inside this mysterious international cult you keep dropping hints about...
It is not mysterious and it is not a cult and I did not learn to write there, nor is any part of the work and curriculum about writing.
there is a technique called "vivid sharing," which is about the in-person practice of speaking. And I occasionally lose context -- lose presence in speaking -- and then do go on and on. It's become rare, as my personal awareness, my "presence," expanded.
Writing in this context is not that. There is no intention that this be "vivid sharing." This serves very different purposes, and, as I pointed out, pleasing zeus46 (who is that?) is not one of them. I do not write for everyone, here. I do it, often, on Quora.
There are some really excellent writers who know that "international technology," however, one of the most popular writers on Quora is almost always writing from that background. But she never mentions the training. (Most people who are trained don't mention it, except under certain circumstances.) I know people who have much of it instinctively or by osmosis or through other sources, so at first I thought it was just that, not specifically that she had been trained. Over time, though, it's become quite obvious and she occasionally uses some give-away language.
I have followed her for a long time, occasionally making comments, which would (as I'd expect) light her up. She finally followed me. She has 42,000 followers but only follows 509, so I was honored. She is getting 4 million page views per month.
I have over a thousand followers on Quora and some of them are excellent writers. That means that excellent writers want to see what I write. I only have about 2.3 million page views, it's not been rising so fast lately because I've been spending a lot of time here and researching Rossi v. Darden.
Lousy writers, people with nothing to say but willing to say it extensively, don't follow me. They often dislike what I write and tell me I write too much.
My friends, when I write too much for them at the moment, simply tell me that.
I can write polemic. My Current Science paper was polemic. It's a lot of work, but, of course, the purpose merited the work.
I have one specific purpose for being here at the moment, it is to identify change agents, people who will lead the coming transformation in power technology, starting with the science behind it. There is work to do. Who is up for that?
