ABC’s Lost broke my brain and I loved it

ABC’s Lost took me on a whirlwind for six years. Say what you will about the series, but nothing inspired my love for ultra-complex plots more. 

My writing ain’t for the casual reader. They’d have a nightmare putting all my plot elements together, and it still wouldn’t make sense for their simple minds.

If you read past that section, I’ll assume you’re brighter than the average, everyday normie and are craving to know more about my work. Or, you may be asking: What about ABC’s Lost inspired my writing style?

Next to those crazy complex plots? What about genre-fusion? Or inter-connected characters spanning across multiple timelines? Shock value and plot twists? Pretty much anything and everything.

Normie trends are scaring the fuck outta me

I was shocked to see that the attention span for a normie was 8.25 seconds, on average. 8.25 seconds! Yeah, seeing 8.25 seconds staring back at me was a real eye-opener.

Like, is this the world we live in, where people constantly scroll through their phones, click on something, engage in it for about eight seconds, then move to something else?

The sick truth is, yes, it is that bad. How do I know this? I spent two years at a dreaded day job gaining some in-depth analysis. I wasn’t there to make a career out of it. Fuck that shit. Instead, I wanted real-world data on DEI and Leftist politics in digital media. And trust me, I got a tsunami of information.

But I also found myself interested in reader habits. And here’s the kicker: Fucking 80 percent of them read their content on mobile. I’m not saying I don’t, but I’m more of a desktop/laptop guy, relegating my phone to Substack articles and checking box scores for sporting events.

If I see an article and click on it while on mobile, it means I’m probably not interested in the content. I’m more interested in who the hell the author’s talking about when they use just a last name in a headline.

Either way, it shows how disturbing this is. And it’s why a shit ton of writers have modified their content to short-form, lightning-fast pacing designed to hook a reader within three seconds. Not eight seconds, but three seconds.

Ironically, a lot of these people bitch about how capitalism has led to overconsumption. Ain’t that ironic, considering those same people contribute to the mess? And for the record, capitalism doesn’t need to lead to overconsumption or even consumer culture, but that’s a tale for another time.

ABC’s Lost will always inspire my writing regardless of normie trends

Hey, longform, slow-build work is my bread and butter. Complete with what the fuck moments, genre-fusion, plot twists and turns, and themes I don’t have to spell out for readers.

My readers are a special breed. A throwback to better times when people were fine with gradual gratification as opposed to the current state of affairs. All while a sinister group of psychopaths want to inject something called Project 2030 into our lives. And against our will, might I add.

Meanwhile, the normies are busy scrolling for their next TikTok dance video, a picture of their neighbor’s cat, or memes telling them why certain politicians suck. So, I thought I’d write for people with a real intellectual spine who see through the B.S. our globalists are force-feeding us.

That’s probably why I quit watching TV regularly when Lost ended in 2010. I didn’t need to consume anything else. I needed to start writing, creating, and plotting. All while learning normie culture and how quickly they fall for bread and circuses, giving us a mutant hybrid of Orwell’s 1984 and Huxley’s Brave New World.
