Reading a book is like cooking yourself dinner. It's worth it, but takes patience. Social media is like grabbing a bag of chips instead. Hyper-palatable, but largely empty.

I love audiobooks as the bridge to accessing books. They are great while in transit and can be easily chunked.

I always think about how self-help books have sold hundreds of millions of copies, but you don't really see hundreds of millions of well-adjusted people around. So... even amongst the people who buy books...

Self-help books, for the most part, are the equivalent of expecting to get skinny/healthy by adding some nice vegetables to a diet loaded with sugar and processed carbs. Sounds nice, won’t work, no matter how badly you wish it would.

This observation is also recursively true. Within each medium: compare the Twitter popularity of someone like Justin Bieber (who posts lots of 1-2 word tweets) vs someone who posts deep content. For each account: their short/easy posts are usually more popular than meaty posts.

People with large followings and short posts (eg Bieber) are using Twitter as leadgen to their long form content though (hour long album, 3 hour long concert etc)

What’s interesting too is how many people consider listening to audible / audio books “reading”. The cognitive processing and benefits are fundamentally different. Listening to 52 audio books does not equal reading 52 books.

I agree with you, but I'd rather not dissuade them. For most people, listing to audiobooks is a step up from the alternatives.

Independent thinkers seems to be more rare these days because technology has produced an information flood that fills in our "blank canvas" for us.

Might have just given a voice to non-original thinkers or shown us how rare original thinking has always been.
