00:00Hello, everyone. This will be kind of short, and it will be short because I'm talking today

00:11about the need for brevity in a lot of cases, sadly, too much. TLDR. If you don't know what

00:25that title means, what that acronym is, it is too long, didn't read, okay? Normally, I would say

00:36an acronym created by a bunch of stupid, lazy, uninformed people, okay? And indeed, that's true

00:47of some in many cases, I guess, right? They're not reading things that are detailed, so they are

00:58uninformed because of their laziness and unwillingness to read something that actually

01:06has details in it, and therefore, they remain ignorant. We are all ignorant of things that

01:14we don't research, but in this case, stupid because they choose to remain ignorant by not

01:24reading something that's longer and detailed. That would actually inform them. I myself coined

01:33as a former IT guy. It has today's Twitter slash TikTok attention span, right? And the problem

01:44with that is that, and the left especially knows this has done this for a long, long time, even back

01:55before Twitter, misleading headlines. If you don't dig deep into the story, and better yet, as Reagan

02:09said, trust but verify, right? Do research other places. If you just read the headline, nine times out

02:19of ten, you're uninformed, and worse, you're misinformed. You're misled. The headline suggests something

02:31completely different than the actual facts of the story. If they even bother to report the facts in the

02:41story, they bury them 10 paragraphs down because of the TLDR Twitter slash TikTok attention span. They know

02:55people aren't reading to the end. TLDR, too long, didn't read, can't be bothered, too lazy. So they don't see

03:06the facts that demonstrate the headline in the first five paragraphs are left-wing opinion and spin, and they don't

03:20get to the facts that demonstrate what you read above is really just bullshit. But I myself have to admit, right? I've had

03:32several shows about human nature. I myself even having coined Twitter slash TikTok attention span and spoken to this

03:45TLDR without laying out the TLDR specifically. Crisis. And it's a crisis. We have people who don't know

03:58anything because they're not reading far enough into pieces to get all the details, the facts, and the

04:08evidence. Details matter, but people want to be lazy in human nature. Again, I myself having coined it and well

04:22aware of the phenomena. Myself gets frustrated at times at a long piece having to read through it all to get

04:34all the information because details matter. You need to, I myself as an author, write 2022 Terror Strikes full

04:47novel. Lately, what are my latest books? A short story, A Lasting Legacy. It's a novelette. A short

04:58story refers to Ryan, the main lead character's life being cut short, and the book of Kennedy, female lead

05:06project Carpe Diem. Novelettes. I'm shortening my chapters to deal with the Twitter slash

05:17TikTok, TikTok, TLDR attention span problem of today. Having to shorten things, having to leave bits and

05:31pieces out that would be better if we're in them, but it does no good if something is indeed TLDR and 99%

05:44of people being lazy won't read it. Again, I know a lot of you probably aren't doing it out of laziness.

05:55You've fallen in like, again, me at times getting frustrated with a longer piece to get all the

06:03details to read through it all. Longer pieces matter. Longer chapters matter to get all the information

06:13information in. We all fall into societal trends at times. It's why I'm recording this TLDR to make us

06:27all deal with that issue again, head on. We must be conscious of it, as I am and have been,

06:39and remind ourselves if we're reading something and getting frustrated and, oh, I don't really want to read

06:48all this. Remember, TLDR syndrome. I need to read this because I need the details. The details, the facts,

07:01the overall full context of something matter. Or we're part of the math holes, as I coined decades ago,

07:14but mention it in the book of Kennedy, Project Carpe Diem, right? The masses of the asses, the math holes,

07:22the uninformed, clueless people. We can't allow ourselves to fall into becoming a math hole.

07:31ourselves. And we need to save friends and family members and bring them back if they've fallen into

07:42that. Okay, well, I'm going to end here again, purposely wanting this to be short because I'm

07:49talking about brevity and why, right? We need to pull people from back from the brink of this

07:58dumbing down of America. It's part of the whole overall continuing dumbing down.

08:07Fake headlines, misleading headlines, and hoping you won't read the 10 paragraph or 20 paragraph.

08:19I wrote a piece of before snooze the other day. Pretty darn long. I'm sure a lot of, I had a friend who told me,

08:29TLDR, I read part of it, but it got too wordy. I stopped. She has fallen into the TikTok, Twitter, TLDR

08:40syndrome. The details all matter. The details at the top, the details in the middle, and the details at

08:50the end, they all matter. They all tie together and often other related items. Things don't exist in a

09:00vacuum. This affects that, which affects another thing. So additional details about related matters

09:09matter. And that makes something longer. It makes a book longer. But even like CTP3, which has 22 official

09:23chapters in it, I try to shorten the chapters, but I give you links to then go online to dig deeper

09:34into more details or other related items because the details matter. All right. Thank you all. Take care.

09:47God bless. Love you all, especially those who actually bother to sit through this.

09:53Even though this is one of my shorter things. And it's why I try to keep all my podcasts to 30

10:00minutes. Some go longer, some are shorter, but today's TLDR attention span, even a podcast. Oh,

10:10I don't want to bother to listen to a 45 minute podcast. How about AI just give me a bullet point

10:19summary? The details matter. You need to listen and read the longer things and get all the details,

10:33all the facts, all the context. All right. Thank you all. Take care. God bless. Love you all.
