begriffs will create new content, but only read the work of others if it is decades/centuries old? That sort of delayed feedback loop is no way to participate in a community, or even in a discussion larger than comments on your own work.
The survivorship bias is a logical fallacy, not a prescription for choosing what to read!
Why disable images in your browser, when many concepts are best expressed with a diagram or photograph?
It's important to consciously limit your content consumption, but this is not the way to do it.

So you suggest reading works that didn't survive? How would you go about finding content that is by definition dead? > Why disable images in your browser, when many concepts are best expressed with a diagram or photograph? Yeah, you've got me there. I understand his viewpoint on this, but the execution is problematic. I'd wager the vast majority of images on websites have nothing to do with the content you're reading. Even images that are technically a part of the article you're reading frequently add nothing to the text. How do you filter the useful from the superfluous?
