I feel like modern Internet communication and neoliberal academic structure are the greatest forces of hyperconventionalism imaginable.

You might _think_ that resources like Sci-Hub, Library Genesis and Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, as well as an ability to discuss and share your ideas with some of the most well-read and intelligent people out there would supercharge cognitive abilities of colossuses like Nietzsche or Aristotle to their maximum. But that is not the case. Truth is, they would struggle to get academic tenure and intellectual exposure due to their writing style being too unconventional to pass the peer review process (individuals like Pierce are an exception from this law), and their highly unconventional ideas would barely scratch the surface of websites like Twitter or Stack Exchange where few people, if any, ponder about your deep thought for more than a sliver of a moment before posting a half-baked, profoundly uncharitable response.

Sure, these individuals would have much more polished ideas due to ease of access of information. But you and I would not hold Nietzsche and Aristotle as household names if they were mere Substackers, holding an untenured position in some run-of-the-mill universities in the middle of nowhere, being paid just enough to feed themselves.

Your descendants(?) will laugh at you.
