When, and why, was rhyme abandoned as a mechanism for controlling the economy of information within human literary prose?
Have we established a new cultural method of keeping literature concise, and poignant?
>>7587747
If prose was intended to keep things concise and to the point, nobody told the vast majority of prose writers that.
>>7587747
Because it's not economical, neither for the reader or, especially, the writer.
Unless we wanna take the Nietzschian route that information is only for those who can, by proving that they can obtain it by force of mind, handle it.
>>7587758
So what's the objective value of style relative to efficient communication of a measurable quantity of information?
>>7587765
How about you rephrase your question in a more conversational tone.
>>7587765
>objective value of style
One does not simply objectify the subjective.

Do you not speak like that? Are you even educated?
>>7587792
I do not speak like that specifically because I am educated.
OP confirmed prepubescent.Intellectually.
>>7587795
Then you are a pro-functionalist?
>>7587804
"Intellectually" isn't a sentence, faggot.

pls kill me, lit
>>7587827
Let's just abandon and sage thread, eh?
>>7587833
thanks
>>7587795
Well how would you have said it?
"How important is style relative to concision?"
Would you have phrased it like that? "Conversationally"? Like a pleb?
>>7587844
>How's that for concision?
Pleb like the plebbiest pleb of all the plebs.
>>7587858
>Pleb like the plebbiest pleb of all the plebs.

I hope you've realized I'm not OP and that I've agreed with you the whole time.
>>7587867
And I hope you realize that I'm not the guy you've been agreeing with the whole time or OP either. [But do agree with you now that I remove the misunderstanding.]
>>7587881
I know you're not me at least, that's a relive desu.

Why would rhyme require concision?
It seems more likely that rhyme and concision were both hallmarks of a pre-literate society, when people needed to memorize narratives.
Maybe the new means of efficiently and concisely transmitting narratives isfilm.
>>7587912
Film has too much complexity. It allows for the propagandist skewing of information too much.
>>7587905
Tru, he isn't. In fact, he's me.
That said, I'm you.
>>7587919
Whoa who initiated Instrumentality? I'm not sure I'm so keen for that.
