So this is a blog that will write 1 article every 5 weeks and batch release them in 2017? I am all for thoughtful content, but binging isn't a concept that can be applied to blogs. This makes no sense.

Edit: i get what turned me off by this. It was the positioning as a radical new media concept and the convoluted and confusing explanation.

What do you call the development and research of a text based narrative which is catalogued for direct and total consumption online?

> an e-book. Got it now guys.



It's a valid thing to do because the ideas are all interrelated in complex ways. Releasing them all at once allows you to read a little, get inspired, jump around, check another intriguing title, and then come back tomorrow to read a little more (if you are inspired).

A somewhat darker view (from a certain perspective) is that he wanted to say his piece without being contradicted or argued with. To write a series of essays that don't have to respond to "the community" and get weighed down by reaction. One could even say that it's an expression of a pastoral utopia of pedagogy! :P

I'm sorry, what? Oh it certainly is, believe me.
