Interesting take. What makes you think that is the aim of the author ? There is an awareness of the possibility of bias at the end of article. A light...

Exactly this.

I understood your OP. I discussed your OP. I disagreed with your OP. That is all from me.

That is your interpretation of a particular guidance advice given to students, already discussed and dismissed.

Not in your version perhaps. However, you seem to have changed the original ( no source citation given ) to align with your own 3 'wants' related to t...

I'd like to read examples. So far I've only got this: https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/the-pamphleteers/ As for Joe Rogan, another first for me. Yo...

Support for your claim.

Yes. For sure, there has been a shift away from institutions to a more open conversation with consequences relating to trust, one of the first things ...

Never mind the Triangle. Here's something about creating a good quality product. Considering: There follows discussion of 6 criteria: 1. Trust 2. Acce...

Excellent.

If your 'pretty extensive study of philosophy' included a literature review this should have helped identify any gaps. https://www.scribbr.co.uk/thesi...

Wow. Still a lot going on here about that book. So, rather than continue with the Triangle topic, I decided to take a look at the Summary. http://www....

I stand corrected. Thanks. Boxed in to a 2 dimensional triangle. More to come on this Triangle.

To return to the topic: In my response so far, I am trying to 'get' how this analogy works. First by going through the 3 points and your 'wants' to se...

Bloody excellent. Captures the spirit of the day, the coronavirus way. :mask: Live without living is not an option. Stretching the imagination; finall...

Si, ma pourquoi ?

Thanks for this. Common problems are a useful place to start. The attempt to find solutions or comfort in challenging times is one we can all relate t...

We are talking about an imagined audience here, right ? One that you keep in mind as you write. It is a strategy which helps you to write better if yo...

First off: Why do you use the word 'vice' ?

Portolano I carry wool. Between ports. Following no lines or borders. Fuzzy gateway. Coasting along. Casting on. Purls before knits. Cast off. Castawa...

Yes. I think it unfortunate that the description 'stupid, lazy and mean' as used in a particular Guidelines article ( or 'verbally from multiple old p...

How can you know where readers are at in their lives before you start the philosophical narrative ? Do you mean in a general sense - what is happening...

What ? All three at once ?! :wink: I enjoyed your mean post - love the lazy passion and getting stupidly carried away.

Yes, that is clear. It depends on context. Getting the balance right is tricky. I am not sure that the triangle diagram is included for rhetorical pur...

I would say both should be considered. For an exploratory process such as this this thread seems to be, it is necessary to engage the reader from get ...

Do you think the substance of the OP and proposal is a 'shit sandwich' ? Does the analogy work ?

Thanks for further explanation. I guess I disagree with the sacrificial aspect. I think it possible to meet all criteria. Indeed, writing in depth or ...

Whose advice is being quoted here, this ? : There is no need for lengthy disclaimers to be able to write clearly and concisely so as to avoid misinter...

I am not sure why the Project Management Triangle has 1. 'Done quickly' as opposed to Done slowly, or carefully. 2. 'Low cost' as opposed to High or M...

Indeed. Considering the opposite view is essential. From the referenced Guidelines article:

Well, no it isn't always the case that it is counterproductive or a waste of time. If 'mean' is defined as @"Pfhorrest" suggests: “Mean” in that if th...

Thanks for enlightenment :sparkle: Thanks for welcome back :smile:

Indeed. Knowing what the goal of any piece of writing is most helpful. The intention of the author is...what ? From what you say, the OP seems to be f...

Who is this 'we' and who is the 'audience' ? The part of writing guidelines for a student paper you appear to have referenced is only that - small. I ...

It is not likely that I will put in similar effort in future. Indeed, it is an ongoing puzzle why I still participate in any philosophy forum. So very...
