I write a lot. I mean, people pay me to write different stuff. Usually on different professional and technical topics. My main observation from this occupation: there are always those people claimed to be 'Big Thinkers' who write something extremely vague about planes, concepts perpendicularly related to concepts, meta-designs, and other 'stuff' that they think must be relevant but actually is so vague and boundless that anything can be included or excluded. They write and the public says 'oh!' and 'ah!' and generally admire.
Then more practical people come to me and ask me to explain what has actually happened because in reality no one has understood planes and concepts, stuff, and conceptual meta-design. And once I explain and relate to practical things, turns out that half of the time the big thinkers have just described what everyone was already doing. And there's no argument they were right because just about anything can fit in or fit out depending on who's interpreting.
And yeah, some 'Big Thinkers' write very attractively and it is a pleasure to read. But quite often the Big Thoughts are also very shallow and under the 'Big' title, there's a utopian promise resting on more unrealistic conditions than there's stars in the sky. And, let's be honest, the dumbrunner said it best:
