I just ran across a “writer” who has apparently walked around his whole life with his eyes closed. Wrote that a character went from very bright, full sunlight into a very dark place and had to SQUINT in order to see until his eyes adjusted to the dark. *smh* OK, maybe the “writer” has been blind all his life, and not just walking around with his eyes closed all the time. (Oh, the scare quotes? It’s a juvie I tried to read for review that I have already discarded as not even worth panning. The “writer” needs to at least pass a Remedial English course before writing for kids’ consumption. The concept behind the book might garner readers in the target age, but it’d just teach them poor language “skilz.”)
"In a democracy (‘rule by mob’), those who refuse to learn from history will be the majority and will dictate that everyone else suffer for their ignorance."
This sounds more like the alleged writer needs to learn how to think logically about their environment and the body’s reactions to it than to learn the language. Or what it is to be human.
It’s almost as if a statistical analysis of word usage and patterns was paired with an AI to “write” the tale. Just like the one Meta just abandoned because of its results.
Yeh, “walked around his whole life with his eyes closed,” or lived his whole life in a world of his stunted imagination, never once experiencing actual physical exigencies, apart from consuming some sort of sustenance and eliminating waste. . . pretty much sums it up. *sigh*
