Again, podcast. Same problem as a video. It's a lengthy time investment for the consumer, to save time for the creator to not have to type it up and present it in writing.
I view that as being backwards.
I might be standing here texting while making sure our dumbass contractors don't break a high voltage power supply, but that doesn't mean I'm going to engage with something that just fundamentally doesn't respect my time.
It's not just the time investment, its the lack of searchability and non-linearity for audio and video. You can jump around in text very easily, allowing easy referencing of different parts. Thus arguments and counter arguments are better and more thought out.
After the last video of his that I watched, I'm not interested in wasting my time and brain cells again. He has some really long-winded and weird rhetoric that fails to reach an actual point, especially to justify the amount of time he spends prattling.
Maybe that was an isolated case from the last video I watched though, I dunno. (Where he was trying to draw some connection between Gnosticism and the modern woke)
I found the explanation of Gnostic heresies and their parallels with the cult of woke to be fairly enlightening.
Now, was the talk anything I can really put into practice? Is it more practically useful than calling wokism a modern Gnostic heresy based on secret knowledge which is actually false? Perhaps not.
Not gonna lie, I value my time too much for a thirty minute video.
Actual printed articles can be read so much more quickly and easily.
Are you aware that you're posting a comment on the internet?
See my other comment in the thread. Typing a few sentences takes a minute or so.

Take notes nigga
Put on the podcast while you work out or mow the lawn or drive
I like podcasts fine because I can listen to them while I drive or walk.
Watch at 1.5 to 2x speed
