Maybe maybe MAYBE as a society we just need to accept that books are not the most efficient way to transfer information and maybe we need to kick reading off its intellectual pedestal and accept that other forms of content distribution, such as visual and auditory ones, are far superior. 😤..so anyway I've been reading this book for the past few months and while I'm still on page 3 I can already tell it's great.

@Gina Was fully agreeing with you until the "far superior".I believe it really depends on people and that's why I agree we should adapt the format depending on people preferences…But personally I can't focus on a video/audio for 1h, whereas I can read for 3 hours in a row (often taking notes too) without loosing focus.So my 2cts is: we need diversity in how knowledge is spread because not everyone learn the same way, and the only important thing is that it is shared to all.

@Gina I prefer books to most other forms of information transfer, maybe I'm weird.

@Gina I'm somewhere in the middle. I hate TikTok but I also struggle with books (but if I manage to start reading, I can keep going for hours).20-30 minutes of a YouTube video is where my attention span typically lands and I'd like to keep it that way :)

@Gina maybe is because you are being distracted by your phone and social networks (dopamine is a hard drug). Try to disconnect more often :)I prefer books, have tons.
