there is virtually no useful information in podcasts. maybe 0.02% of podcasts are informative or insightful. Wendell for example.

Read books. Find the books to read from either original sources or bibliographies of books written by non-retards. but, don't read too many books. read the right books. read the words of the people who did the things. don't read the books of the philosophers, naval-gazers, and intellectualists that re-interpret what happened in terms of their own anti-reality ideology.

This. I don’t understand how people like to spend hours listening to people talk to other people about bullshit that brings nothing to life, isn’t useful. That’s why I think these things is just another form of distraction.

I think the core audience of most podcasts are simply people that do not have friends in real life. The bullshitting for hours (some of it useful, some of it not) is something I have done with my friends throughout my life, though much less so than when I was younger (which is also a natural progression). It's one of those core experiences that has been around pretty much as long as human beings have, that is now becoming frighteningly rare.

Just like the sorry fucks that seek out media creations like Juden Peterstein or the Tate brothers for a surrogate father figure, the podcast craze is a result of people seeking surrogate friendships. Both are a paltry substitute for what they replace and both result in ever worsening parasocial behavior & personality defects.

Don't forget "networks" like discord where gangs of retards can yell at each other rotting each others' brains.

Agreed. There are a handful of /ourguys/ that do good longform documentary type work, like Asha Logos (though he hasn't put out anything in a long time), Zoomer Historian, Wyatt Stagg, Leather Apron Club, a couple others. But those aren't podcasts/podcasters in every instance it's one intelligent White man sharing his insights & knowledge. If something isn't worth the time I simply don't bother with it.

I've never understood the podcast craze. Especially the dipshits that watch everyone in any particular orbit (IE Rogan and the zog fags he associates with) which equals dozens of hours a week of completely vapid non-information. Alot of the fans of that crap will insult their boomer parents who watch network tv all day.... but they are doing the exact same fucking thing. Time sinks of no value that require nothing of the viewer, not even their being awake when it is on.

Books require something of the reader, which has always been the main difference between reading & media on a screen. Not just the ability to read, but imagination and active memory. And yes as you said, in my estimation being well read means reading the right books (that will expand the depth & breadth of your knowledge, awareness, and abstract thinking) not just reading "a lot" of books. Plenty of shit out there in paperback & hardcover that isn't fit to line a birdcage.

"how can you CONSOOM as much CONTENT as you NEED to unless you are ACTIVELY ruining your attention span!"

The shit people say these days absolutely flabbergasts me. And this cocksucker is my age, but clearly is desperate to be seen as cool by zoomers & younger.

That is a shit way to watch or listen to anything. And while I know it's becoming more and more common, so are plenty of other similar things that are having devastating personal & societal side effects... with others still coming that can't be predicted because we are in uncharted waters as this anti-human relationship with technology proceeds.

"Listening to anything on 1x is insufferable to me." Oh, you mean like having a conversation? Fucking retard. It's funny that he act's like his time is so valuable yet spends a ton of it shitposting daily on someone else's platform (while his own decays and dies, but that doesn't stop his e begging).

Any alleged grown fucking man should be embarrassed to communicate a bumblefuck thought like this aloud.

you find your soul in the silence, in observing the world around you, and as you observe it, you find yourself in it, in the natural, unjudged state of things. to adapt your brain to only the fast moving feed of the internet will separate you from this sacred silence, and the ability to sit with yourself. God is in the silence.

I'm trying to rebuild my attention span, but some books are still heavy, ie the sea wolf by Jack London, so im starting with shitty spy novels my friend lent. And you're right- if you have to speed up a video to watch it, how will you have a conversation you can't speed up? I see this inability to converse with people my age ie zoomers, and i could have a better attention span too. Thanks for this reminder.

Very well said. I believe this as well, which is why I seek solace in nature & is where I feel closest to Christ. Most people want to give the perception that they are always busy (and this has been true for a very long time, a product of the mid 20th century) but the reality is most don't know how to use their time well or have the ability to focus anymore, specifically because of the frantic attitude that modernity encourages. I've found that being able to summon stillness leaves me able to accomplish whatever I set out to in whatever time I have. These are traits that used to be much more common & can still be regained when one sets out with the intention to do so.

And I think reading books is like anything else, you have to walk before you run so starting at a place with goals to built up to is a good foundation to set. When it comes down to it, reading is also a skill that can be honed with experience.

How do you 'summon stillness'? Did you have a regimen for rebuilding your attention span?
I hope you never let your solace be taken away by distractions, really boredom and emptiness is sacred.

Some people are horrific speakers and speak in slow motion though, you've never heard anyone speak so slowly you start writhing in pain?

These days? Not nearly as often as I hear "fast talkers" that make my blood pressure spike in mere seconds. For example: Ben Shapiro (and plenty of other sophist kikes) and shitloads of dumb women.

NGL that is valid advise for some lengthy podcasts, but retarded advise in General content consumption

Good luck trying to absorb information from someone who is talking like a fucking chimp-monk that was consoomed helium you fucking dumbfuck.

Exactly. There is no way anyone is retaining something communicated at that pitch & cadence.

The ONLY time I do that is when I’m watching someone respond to a retard (IE Adam Green showing rabbi clips) I don’t want to hear them talk any longer then I have to.
