this has all been said repeatedly; as far as I can tell, people don’t write like this because it’s hard to read. flowery language obscures meaning, it doesn’t enhance it. (well, usually.)
also, yeah, that dude on twitter is really upset that people have even talked about slowing down to aim so we can actually build the black hole civilizations.
