I’m not that big a jerk, I just think you’re lying and would go to sleep by hour 3 just like virtually any other human who didn’t leave by that point.
If it helps your insight into NT sensibilities (or, more accurately, sensibilities of people who aren’t your particular type of ND, since I’m not really NT either), what the other guy is arguing for and what I am arguing for is essentially elegance. The point isn’t brevity but that information has a narrative purpose. It’s okay for there to be a shit ton of information and for things to take a long time if it all has a purpose (like the Chimera Ant arc in HunterxHunter) Being told a bunch of numbers about planets that don’t exist, have never been mentioned, and will never be mentioned is completely hollow from a storytelling standpoint. It’s just a dump of information that is completely worthless because there is nothing that you can actually do with it. There is no story connected to it, no themes it expresses, not even any academic benefit since it’s all fake and not particularly hard scifi. It expresses no substantial ideas, just a vomiting of data. Many things are basically a vomiting of worthless data on some level, I just constructed the example to try to make this quality as blatant as possible to help you understand.

I don’t really know how to say this, but you put those words in order just the right way. It all followed. A——Z it made sense by flowing.
I am the kinda guy who just enjoys reading a wiki. I actually do enjoy that thing you say puts me to sleep.
That being said, you’ve made yourself clear and I think I get your point. I’ll try and rephrase things in a normie friendly manner. Mostly at least.
