Books, for me, have largely been replaced by hour long lectures on youtube.

This hits home, only I'm watching stuff that exercises this or that technical understanding.

Did you see that spreadsheet I shared, that had the timelines of all these philosophers and esoteric figures etc? Anyway I think I just churned through revelations at a startling rate, such that they became economically inflated.
