ah yes, the jordan peterson technique of usin the big words. genuinely tho, this sort of thing is why i love artists like earl sweatshirt so much. he conveys so much in his writing and delivery. i think the brevity of it adds to the impact tbh. hits harder.
I hope the chatgpt backlash helps with this, as people start trying to excise filler from their writing to make it less "AI"ish.
