You're boring
- RiderOfGiraffes 17y agoI infinitely prefer a well-written piece to a video. With a video I have to listen and watch and have no idea if it's ever going to make a decent point, be relevant, or have a clever twist at the end that made it worth watching. With text I can skim, I can go back, I can spot keywords, I can search, I can just do so much more. Plus I read a lot faster than most people talk. Please, people, do me a favor and write stuff. If you can't write well, then maybe you're just boring and should learn to write better.
- karjaluoto 17y agoActually, these are a bit of a break from writing. The videos are intended as an entry point for my book: http://www.speakhuman.com http://www.speakhuman.com. My hunch is that a great many folks don't read as quickly as you do. As such, the videos are here to bridge that gap. My hope is that they see a video, find something they like, and then get the whole book. I also write essays at http://www.ideasonideas.com http://www.ideasonideas.com. My feeling, though, is that there's a real mix of preferences out there. I'm not particularly interested in watching videos, but I suspect that many do.
