Reading books is about the slowest way to acquire knowledge. Never liked it, done only when forced to or for lack of other resources. Interactive learning techniques are far superior imo. It all depends what you do with this power. Do you squander it watching crap or do you use it to learn and improve skills...

Best use of your time is the book reading.

My father, long dead, used to refer to TV as the idiot box although he had no problem watching NY Yankees baseball games on it.

YouTube is the modern day idiot box.

Reading books is not necessarily the slowest way for deep learning to acquire knowledge.

It all depends if one’s preference for learning is an eargate, eyegate, kinesthetic, reading/writing learner.

What's slower?

Still the slowest even for computers. Information contained in binary format or other representation is orders of magnitude faster than scanning and recognizing characters and then translating that into knowledge.

Again that depends on the person.

Now you jump back to human reading. Hmm. Disagree. The time it takes to read an instruction manual by the highly linguistically capable person is dwarfed by a semi illiterate watching instructions on a good YouTube video. NLP is imo one of the absolutely hardest tasks in ML and DL. Problems of text translation and interpretation are not solved at all and rudimentary at best. Why do you think even the top hfts all depend on elementized feeds for statistical dissemination interpretation?

It depends on the person’s preferred style of learning. Some people are not visual learners. Deep understanding comes from pondering what you are seeing…hearing…touching…and not just some casual glance at a video. I learn deeply when I read and when I write. What I learn deeply I retain much longer and can actively look for how to apply concepts I have so learned. Do do the same with video I would be constantly starting and stopping the video thus fragmenting the whole into pieces. For years my preferred way was ear gate. Hearing..listening..pondering. Slick videos can disguise reality and gloss over truth. Nevertheless, some learn better and faster by visual means such as videos but that doesn’t mean it is faster for everyone. In imo the goal is deep learning especially when dealing with trading and while videos are ok for introducing concepts to me I learn deeper by reading..meditating..and applying. I have worked for years among illiterate and semi-literate societies and eargate proved to be one of the better way. They were used of years and years of radio…cassette..etc. Video content was entertaining for them but retainment was very little. What they heard and pondered they learned and retained. What they saw in visual form was entertaining but most was like a mist of water sprayed on their heads. It was there then gone as quickly as it appeared. So there again one’s preferred style of learning impacts how fast and how well they deeply learn new concepts and ideas and “doing” it after such theoretical deep learning drives it in even deeper.

Listening to Vivaldi helps in deeper learning. Deeper learning via brain. Not deeper learning as used in ML.

If I hear any more Four Seasons shit, I'm going to bust a vein. Because that is all Alexa plays when I ask for Viv, lol!

Are you sure it has not already busted? Lol
