@jcbrand @Cleisthenes that being said, when something restates the essentials simply and efficiently it's an absolute joy, even if you know them
these books are few and far between
@jcbrand @Cleisthenes one of the downsides of this is in maths/physics textbooks - it can be difficult to find sources that explain the rules that aren't being stated, and once you get these rules you join the club of people who can't be bothered with rereading the rules you take for granted

Another thing that happens with people who've studied a long time (too long?) is that they start writing everything in acadamese.
Long-winded sentences filled with unnecessary jargon designed to sound intelligent. The ultimate shame/fear of many academics is to be outed as stupid.
Funnily enough it's a sign of intelligence (and real understanding) to be able to convey a complex topic with simple direct language.

@Cleisthenes @jcbrand doesn't even need to be your boss, know your audience and if you can say it simply intelligent people will respect that also

RT @TheCraael
The generation who dropped nukes in the ocean for giggles wants to tell you about the environmental impact of bitcoin.
@Cleisthenes bad move if you can reasonably avoid it

@GMOdysseys@noagendasocial.com @matthewdropco I mean, this could just happen naturally, don't see what the benefit of adding "AND THEY PLANNED IT LIKE THIS" is to every step of the debate
@11112011 relax, you're unvaccinated
