Ah, this type of sentiment trips me up, similar to A beastiary of ethical-licenses. When it isn’t actionable for me, or I can’t describe how it is actionable for another, it just becomes more text to process.
What does it even mean to “enrich an individual life”? What? We don’t require that of other media, but we sure aim high for the complicated one that hardly anyone understands…
- “Writing must enrich the lives of individual human beings.”
- “Radio must enrich the lives of individual human beings.”
- “Talking must enrich the lives of individual human beings.”
- “Television must enrich the lives of individual human beings.”
