“In both countries it was clearer than crystal to the lords of the State preserves of loaves and fishes, that things in general were settled for ever.” – Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities
I find the way this sentence is structured to be more difficult to comprehend. Concrete examples of syntax that might not convey comprehension ideally have the potential for useful. It was clearer to [Object], “that things in general were settled for ever.” Yet the Object is “the lords of State preserves of loaves and fishes”. What is Charles Dickens referring to, is the preserves of loaves and fishes actual fishes and loaves of bread or a vehicle for allegory, a deeper meaning, possibly a way to say even inanimate objects pick up on the idea that things were settled forever?
Maybe someone more versed than me has greater insight into Charles Dicken’s work. That said I think the matter remains if I was trying to amplify comprehension to someone else rather than inspire thought and imagination I might want to phrase the sentence, change the syntax to a possibly more comprehensible version.
Syntax has the power to amplify more direct straightforward comprehension. Direct and straightforward comprehension has the potential for being value to increase comprehension even for systems or words that might be less than ideal convolution and obfuscation reduced. Word and word order might not always be fully pondered. Is there a better way to phrase the same value generated from the words might not always be fully pondered.
It was clear as daylight to all the woodland creatures that the fence was vibrant full of High Potential voltage that might be unwise to touch. Likely less than, Danger High Voltage. Context and usefulness, shortest path to useful information matters and might be upsold to less insufficiently.
Able to modify communication dependent on context is valuable. Safety advice, do this or don’t do this has potential for more ideal comprehension amplification than imagination inspiring metaphors. A novel written like safety advice might be less than sufficiently inspiring and less than sufficient experience. Sufficient inspiration and experience matters as it factors into key details and allegory, comprehension amplification available in story that might not otherwise be available. The amount of oxygen the reader gives for interesting versus non interesting factors into real oxygen or lack thereof to amplify sufficient key detail throughput.
Seat belts save lives. Motorcycle helmets save lives. Always the most interesting thing to hear? Possibly not. Nylon tethers and injection molded plastic formed perfectly and robustly amplify risk mitigation in traffic has the potential for ideally comprehended?
Practice flipping between contexts has potential for value added, maybe not always ideal value added. Increasing creative writing is power in context. Increasing direct communication is power in context. Able to switch between the two requires effort and has potential for less than sufficient combinations at times. Able to appreciate and establish separate context is valuable power that is not always sufficiently invested in by society.
Are words that are more likely to be comprehended always the ones that are more memorable? Comprehended and forgotten is less than sufficient output for Safety Messages that need to be Comprehended and Remembered by parties you care about. See the Sign Danger High Voltage, might be legalistically ok, it might pass the bar of what is seen as adequate. Adequate and legalistic is not always sufficient love amped for all parties. Real Comprehension amplification might require both Direct Communication and amplifying enough Interest that the Important Key Details will be Remembered, Remembered in a way that actually save lives, rather than just allow a checkbox to be checked “I warned that, can factor into risk mitigation.”
Legalism and Risk Mitigation can establish minimums, minimums might be insufficient grace and love for all parties. We consider the idea need to warn that to be correct with the law, but we don’t always consider is what leads to need for risk mitigation really an ideal requirement short term or long term? Extra tests, extra need for risk mitigation is turned up without always considering is it wise to have the extra tests in the first place.
There needs to be a High Voltage sign because the box outside the building is High Voltage. Does the box really need to be there, would it not be wiser to encase it in something that nobody has the potential to touch? Cost benefit analysis and legalism combined with max profit based upon limited quantities of resources might amp risk mitigation without sufficient desire to actually preemptively prevent problems. Future easily has potential for upsold to we will have funding to maintain things we might not always have funding and resources to maintain.
31 trillion is a lot of money, a lot of potential lost money to interest payments, a lot of potential money removed from ability to maintain an infrastructure that is already failing in some places and is rusting in many others. Considering motivations based upon a future outlook that might look less than ideal might not be all value out.
31 Trillion factors into ability to maintain engineering infrastructure sounds pretty awful to someone with an Engineering degree. Probably doesn’t sound too pretty to a lot of CFOs in the World either. Think a system that needs to prevent bridges from collapsing will have ideal potential for sufficient justice, reduced villain level contrast, and preventing false allegations in the future? Future Throughput on a dramatically reduced budget seems like it has the potential to amp less than sufficient talent, less than sufficient talent has high potential for corruption as the norm at least from what the World has seen via Historic Precedent.
Make the people think pretty thoughts while money is extracted and the infrastructure collapses around them is not a possible thing to inspire in politicians? Politicians required to create value where Image is King and Relevance Limiting that leads to less Truth is almost a requirement to stay in office projects an ideal long-term outlook specially while leveraged by a 31 trillion dollar national debt?
“the lords of the State preserves of loaves and fishes” went galloping through the park. Personification?
