I think the core advantage of content is that the idea density is actually much higher. Many books could be essays and still communicate the main points. Many essays could be paragraphs. Many paragraphs could be sentences, etc. Density is a feature of content, maximizing brain stimulation per second.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoThis is a double edged sword, trading depth for breadth. While many books or essays can be summarized, much is lost in the compression. You have to ask for which domains is a shallow summary appropriate, and what the advantages are of having a poor understanding of many things. That isnt to say they dont exist! they absolutely do. I just worry that having deep understanding and being capable of deep thought is going out of style, and think that many people dont know what they are missing out on.
