Question for people who argue that reading long-form books is virtuous or even necessary:
Are podcasts an acceptable substitute? If not, why not, and what even is the difference between a podcast and an audiobook?
(I frequently listen to both)
There are so many negative and dark lives full of details that are called "interesting" by so many well-informed, high-quality people, which is really "interesting." . .
Don't be too optimistic about people's ability to think independently, after the accumulation of disagreements in opinions and philosophies, everything will morph, including linear logic, where black holes are created.
