And yet...

I read a bit of philosophy. It's a delicate balance, because while I feel philosophy cover the truly important questions, some philosophers feel the need to inspect points I don't care much about (and ignore the big points to do so).

Overtime, I came up with a theory - if you can't explain your theory in 2 pages, it's bullshit (or: the communication of it is bullshit). You might have a deep, layered theory, but every two pages I should be getting some jolt to my brain. Some pull it off, others do not.

Am I showing a lack of patience and respect? Or are they simply being poor or inefficient communicators? I consider the most likely scenario to be that both are in play. And the former, in moderation, is necessary to address the latter.

So while I strive to accept that my boredom or frustration is unjustified and should be reined in, I also (easily) accept that sometimes I'm right, and what's being done is longer/slower/off-topic too much.
