For Y'All Writers Out There

[Guest SirVladimir]

You better believe I'm sharing with you something worth sharing. This lecture easily applies to non-academic writing when you see the implications. Intertwine it with your ego-awareness. Many great takeaways here as how to write.

Thank-you once again.

I cracked up at what follows in 39:35. It so much reminded me of Leo. But it only makes sense if you watch the rest. It talks about how writing isn't conveying your ideas, it's changing your readers' ideas and how you have to penetrate into their code of ego. 21st century, folks!

Yepp, altho I've watched one quarter of the video yet, but I can see how radical the implications could be that can be drawn from a VALUABLE text in contrast to an invaluable one no matter how persuasive, organized and clear it maybe but if it's not VALUABLE so as to say if it's not providing any value to it's readers, it's not worth it !!

@ajai Yep. The lecture is supposedly about academic writing, but it applies everywhere as a sort of meta-guidance. We writers obviously seek to convey ideas, but we are bounded by linguistics and the reader's own understanding and cognition. Leo's video about Jacques Derrida goes hand in hand with this.

Can't agree more, I was missing out on Leo's this video, it's actually so down the list and pretty old will watch it for sure, starts with a mind blowing quote by Nagarjuna, ?
