I asked @byrneseyeview to riff on the value of books vs. video. Thought this was a really insightful and original(?) take.

I could see a counter argument being along the lines of media are not interchangeable and some ideas really can’t be captured by text. Or video is not inherently expensive, we just don’t have 500 years of innovation to lower cost of production.
I don't think anyone would say books are _strictly_ superior to videos. Of course videos can do things that books can't. I just like Byrne's point about the cost of production --> better written material about niche topics.
