I DID notice that lol. Sounds like a pretty good, subtle titling style that people can associate to an author.

So you're saying you'd need an advanced degree in memeology.
The curse is that once these great authors get discovered they inevitably get movie deals and the writing starts to fall off. No genre seems untouchable nowadays, even scifi, although I do think the show producers did great justice to James S.A. Corey's, The Expanse.
For me it was Fabian FTW! Similar sentiments - had to resort to species googling to see where all that character building came from lol.
Will add Hyperion to my list - thanks!
I'm there with you, pacing slowed a bit here and there, but for good reasons. Those made for good stop points though.
Oh shoot i didn't even know there was more. I literally just put the book down tonight digesting it all. Thank you - definitely don't want to forget the storyline if I wait too long.
I think my life just got a little bit richer with that tidbit - thank youuu
Oh absolutely. I'm a walking, talking banana if you catch me at the wrong time or on the wrong day.
Also, if we went this route and tested for cognitive function- I'd 100% guarantee that our politicians would be on Adderall or some other amphetamine...if they weren't already.
I think testing for cognitive function is going to prove impossibly difficult - or at least for now. How do we set and quantify an acceptable value for cognitive function? How will we execute testing? When do we test? How often? Who will do the testing? How do we counter for potential performance drugs for test candidates? Do we notify the public on the test findings? There's just a lot involved with making this the barrier to entry vs age or term limits.
I'll take it. I can probably squeeze a futon under that sink and put a hot plate on the tank... PERFECT.
I like that idea. Currently at a coffee shop alone. No panicking brain trying to keep up with the processing right or wrong actions.
Only a few insects are known to have the ability to hear of which cicadas are included. However, from Brittanica:
Cicadas are noted for the intensity of sound produced by some species and for the elaborate development of the ears, which are located on the first segment of the abdomen.
Please adjust your torture method accordingly and continue...
