\"I just got an idea that will make a great blog post ...\"<\/p>\n
\"No, it won't.\"<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\"What? I didn't even tell you the idea.\"<\/p>\n
\"I'm not denying that you had an idea; rather, I claim that it won't make a great blog post, because you won't write it. You wrote two nontrivial posts last year and then abandoned your blog for six months<\/em>. Obviously, you're just like all the other millions of bags of human refuse who think<\/em> of themselves as writers and yet never write. They<\/em> never change, and you've shown by your behavior that you're one of them, so why should I believe you when you say you're going to write something?\"<\/p>\n \"Uh ...\"<\/p>\n \"Aww<\/em>, are you offended? Is our little soi-disant<\/em> 'aspiring rationalist' incapable of handling a honest statement of the undeniable truth?\"<\/p>\n \"No, I'm not offended. I disagree\u2014\"<\/p>\n \"As expected.\"<\/p>\n \"\u2014but I won't argue with you. Just\u2014stay subscribed to the RSS feed, will you?\"<\/p>\n \"Oh, but of course. It's not like anything will appear in it.\"<\/p>\n \"...\"<\/p>\n \"This is the part where you threaten to drown me in a veritable deluge of good writing, and then I continue to mock the pathetic cycle of failure and self-delusion at the center of your existence.\"<\/p>\n \"Let's skip that part. I'll see you later.\"<\/p>\n \"I know what you're trying to do! It won't work!\"<\/p>\n \"I never said it would work.\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \"I just got an idea that will make a great blog post ...\" \"No, it won't.\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[24],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/zackmdavis.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/zackmdavis.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/zackmdavis.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zackmdavis.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zackmdavis.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=106"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"http:\/\/zackmdavis.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":186,"href":"http:\/\/zackmdavis.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106\/revisions\/186"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/zackmdavis.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=106"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zackmdavis.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=106"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zackmdavis.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=106"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
