I hate systems, media, authors, etc. that fool readers.
-
assume that readers are too stupid to understand what you write about difficult things.
-
Thinking that readers should remain stupid and not have to be provided with opportunities to grow.
- Deletion of references
- Deprives readers of the opportunity to connect to a network of knowledge
- In English-speaking countries, references are listed, but sometimes they are removed in the process of translation.
- Some publishers do that sort of thing because they think “readers are stupid and don’t need references,” and it’s obnoxious.
- Difference in the richness of references between English Wikipedia and Japanese Wikipedia
- It is strange that a clear statement of the source, which is common practice in English-speaking countries, is not done in Japanese-speaking countries.

Hide jargon
- When there is a concept and a technical term X that is tied to it.
- Readers will be confused if you suddenly explain in technical terms.
- It is good to explain without using jargon, assuming the reader does not know that jargon.
- However, if the terminology is not mentioned at all, the reader loses the opportunity to learn about it
- Interested readers will be unaware of the appropriate keywords to look up on their own.

hide the source material - I don’t think it’s a bad idea to make postcapitalist society a bit more radical and incendiary, or to put The Goal story in an IT-oriented context.
- But the author hiding the original story is unforgivable.
- It is an act of trying to profit from the wisdom of our forefathers while keeping stupid readers who don’t know the original story stupid.
-
liquid food with a good thirst-quenching effect
-
A book that should be chewed and eaten well
-
Books you can read without using your jaw.
-
baby food
-
They are treated like infants.
- They’re making fun of you.
-
Allow readers to build a network of knowledge within themselves
-
Clearly indicate the source so that it can be traced.
- singularity
- Technology that accelerates human intellectual production is what matters.
- Specifically, high-speed scientific knowledge sharing via arXiv
- [Implementation in natural language
- Sharing of source code, sharing of trained models, is happening.
