Like this. Basic stuff, “I wish I had been taught how to do my taxes in high school” kind of stuff. Long-form video content is preferred but not required.
Edit: I should clarify for everyone in the thread that I could probably work my way up to reading stuff, especially further on when I’ve built up some better habits. Should also mention my executive dysfunction/ADHD issues in this post body
I respect these words of wisdom immensely as someone who should have had a mentor spell this out for me years ago. I’m not trying to bothsides you at all because I agree with you 99%. I just wanted to add a few niche areas like appliance/car/repairs/etc, videoform can be lifesavingly convenient in pinches But most importantly reading is fundamental
I think what a lot of people are missing here it’s that it’s a dialectic. It can be true that reading is important and it can also be true that reading isn’t always the best medium for understanding certain concepts. It’s not an either-or situation, rather it’s both, at the same time. I’m glad someone else recognizes that as well.
It’s always hegel. It’s always a fundamental impossibility that exists in everything. Has there really been 0 philosophers of any merit since Hegelian dialectics?
Life is life. No social rule is 100% correct at any time. Exceptions happen. Only mathematics can boast that (sometimes) :)
