		<description>That&#039;s it. I&#039;ll be the Lady Gaga of philosophy.

I leap from point to point in these entries without much sympathy for explanation. I know it can be pretty dense, but usually these blog writings are more for personal reference for when I finally decide I&#039;m ready to publish anything, at which point I&#039;ll try to make my writing as accessible as possible without losing the point or poetry of it.</description>

		<description>Think of it like this: If Fever Ray sold out and started making really good pop, maybe everyone would suddenly love her on the same scale as, say, Lady Gaga. That&#039;s what I want you to do -- sell out so dumb people want to listen to you too.</description>

		<description>Or maybe you wouldn&#039;t &quot;express yourself better,&quot; necessarily. Rather, you would make your ideas more accessible for dunces like me.</description>

		<description>I find it somewhat troubling that all too often your prose is to me what Kant&#039;s is to you. In plain words, absolutely exhausting. 

I don&#039;t intend that as the inane mockery you&#039;ve come to expect from me; I mean to say that either I am too dimwitted to navigate the electric complex of your restless mind, or you need to attempt to write in a language more digestible for the Everyman. That is unless you&#039;re comfortable with only a fraction of humanity being able to weather the storm of your dense prose to arrive at the fundamental ideas. If it&#039;s all about you, by all means, continue using a collective pronoun to refer to God (etc.).  

I think what you said here is that God wants us to be good, and your version of being good is to live to our fullest potential for the sake of human progress, rather than our self interest. There&#039;s some sentiment in there about humanistic spirituality. Or something like that. If I could muster the energy to reread this, I might be able to walk my rounds in closer to the black, but I&#039;m gonna call it good and settle for a Kentucky-windage interpretation. 

So to be clear, what I&#039;ve tried to say here is simply this: Can you write dumber please? I think you would express yourself better in doing so. 

Just my take.</description>
