Thank you. I wish somebody did it to every NewYorker "article".

Yes! Shakespeare too! "TDLR: They both die". So much better ! /s

Shakespeare starts Romeo and Juliet with a TL;DR for you. No need to add one

Reading the article and the writing in the New Yorker for many people IS the point.

Not everyone emulates a machine and just wants data.

Once you grow up, you'll stop just trying to score points. And the only one pretending anything here is those that feel their "just the facts" attitude to life is somehow superior.
