The defensive arrogance of TL;DR | Seth's Blog

Godin with another nugget of wisdom here.

TL;DR is defensive. Not simply because it defends our time, but because it defends us from change and from lived experience.

When we lean into exploration, we're far more likely to find something that matters. Because we worked for it.

A related concept that comes to my mind is the journey matters, not just the destination. Godin references "Dopamine Culture", and Dopamine Nation is in my Audible library on the recommendation of a friend. Godin's little post here also connected my thinking to the book How to Read a Book where Adler asserts a method to reading that takes you deeper into the matter.
