But knowing it's synthetic, why would you buy the book or listen to the podcast in the first place? There's nothing social or shared in a synthetic affectation.

- corysama 2y agoIn an ideal world, I would sit down with an espresso or a beer, and review collections of research papers on a regular basis. In reality, between work, sleep and family, I rarely have anything resembling that kind of time and mental energy reserve available. But, what I can afford is to listen to podcasts while doing other things. Doing that gives me enough of an overview to keep up with a general topic and find new topics that might be worth investing into deeper. Wouldn’t it be great if someone made a podcast channel specifically for “Papers corysama wants to hear about at this moment”? I think so. Apparently, so do a lot of other people. But, they don’t want to list to my specific channel.
