somehow i can’t stand the experience of listening to podcasts? i think something feels subtly bad to me about listening to voices w/o seeing accompanying faces

Perhaps obvious, but some podcasts also have video versions on YouTube. Also I’d love to try something like an aesthetic double crux with you about this sometime if that sounds fun. Maybe asynchronously on Twitter even?

Can you say any more about what kind of subtle badness? On my end, podcasts and phone calls are both good. Sort of disembodied, but I don’t (currently) have an objection to the diembodiedness.

(Caveat: This might not be a fruitful direction to take the conversation.) I’ve kinda stopped being interested in cognitive-personality quirks like this. We all have them (e.g., I love podcasts but hate phone calls), but I don’t see what it all adds up to.

I know what you mean - it does seem possible to deeply investigate the source of personality quirks, but IME it mostly ends up being a fun categorization game with few actionable insights. Always happy to be wrong though!

i think it's quite hard but possible to play this game in a way that leads to actionable insights. among other things i think it requires a level of introspection that most people just don't have
