Think I’ve found my solution to get the Watchmen article completed…

After watching this really fun and thought provoking video by Chris Lehto https://youtu.be/4gZ2WOV_O4o?si=_hiRwJ6uWzEg23kh… And first let me say that I absolutely love this sort of creative and outside-the-box sort of thinking—Kurt Jaimungal should have Chris on his Theories of Everything YT channel to discuss this Fractal Scalar Theory…

But anyway, after listening to how Chris worked with ChatGPT to help craft his ideas for that theory, I’ve decided to do something similar with my draft of the Watchmen article. I’m going to hand my draft of the article over to ChatGPT and ask it to edit the article to be more concise, make it flow better, and overall to try to keep the reader engaged. Of course I’ll still edit whatever it spits out for my final draft.

I’ve never used ChatGPT so this should actually be kind of fun.

The problem I’m having with the article is that I’ve gathered a mountain of interview material from both Alan Moore and Zack Snyder that supports various aspects of my main thesis. In these interviews Moore and Snyder both respectively provide long expositions that make clear their thinking about the core ideas underlying Watchmen. The problem is that I want to include all of that quote material because it fleshes the ideas out so well. And all the quotes are very relevant imho. However I suspect that very few readers will want to wade through an article that is so chockfull of so many long quotes. It’s a long trek through that material to get to the core of the thesis. The article feels ponderous and sort of bogged down by long walls of quoted exposition by both of them.

I hope to give the article some attention again in September, so hopefully I’ll actually get this f-ing thing completed soon!

December 23, 2023 Addendum: Well, haha, evidently something is keeping me from even cheating on this by resorting to ChatGPT! 🤣 But on further reflection, it just doesn’t feel right for what I’m doing here, lol. I reckon I’ll get to this eventually, but I’ll just roll up my sleeves and do it the old fashioned way. Usually at some point I get a burst of motivation and get into a flow experience when I write. It’ll come eventually.

Besides, defending Rebel Moon is commanding my full attention at the moment.
