Toast message
That doesn't mean every book is great, but finding good books on a topic is WAY better than relying on the internet. Especially today.
The general principle of the OP is good.
I don't see that at all.
What Scearpo said was
> "Movies, books, and other longform media are rarely ever valid or relevant as a whole"
Which is an undeniable statement. Note the use of the word RARELY. Words matter, and that one was used with intent.
>"they've always meant to be delivery mechanisms for a few key excerpts and moments that stick with the audience."
Again, a statement I find to be sound. Outside of literary works that were divinely inspired, narratives shape around a central theme or idea.
Don't get autistically hung up on one word or phrase and find yourself missing the forest for the trees. It is exactly the ability to use awareness, acuity, and insight to parse the signal from the noise that makes separates us from the bipedal rabble.
If a book is only useful to convey a key excerpt, it's author lacked these things and you might as well just have a quote of said key excerpt. Yes it might develop excerpt(s) better than just the quote, but this is a description of a book that isn't very good. It denigrates books.
