Is it bad that I ended up just using chatgpt to summarize that text?

Is it possible that this is to a large degree utterly pointless textual wankery?

I’ve learned that whenever someone uses tons of big words in long paragraphs, especially if they have a credential next to their name, it’s ridiculously easy for them to BS you.

I didn't have Žižek on substack and HN on my bingo card..

As always, there are good bits connected with mediocre glue. The point about automating the unpleasant parts of activity and losing the very point of the exercise (automatic dildo and automatic vagina, but automatic research papers too!) is a good one.

But damn Slavoj, please use some headings, sections and the like. Work with your thoughts more as you claim it's important to do!

I'm also losing my ability to tolerate prose without headings, but I think that's symptomatic of this bigger issue.
