While beautifully written; it does sound all an idealist’s dream. Or at least you have said very little to suggest otherwise.
More downvotes would send you to negative karma if there is such a place, and that’s a harsh punishment for someone so eloquent. In sparing you a downvote, I encourage you to figure out what went wrong with this post and learn from it.
I downvoted the OP. A major turn-off for me was the amount of rhetorical flourish. While well-written posts should include some embellishment for clarity and engagement, when there’s this much of it, the alarm bells go off...what is this person trying to convince me of by means other than reasoned argument?
Maybe, but I think that’s just because the post was also low on specifics. If Arandur brought the flourish and the specifics, I think it would be great, and would balance out the other stuff that can appear boring, dry, and overly technical.
Though it could just be a difference in preferences.
