I get that a lot of people don’t like to read, which encourages reliance on ChatGPT and TikTok - but “aversion to reading” has been an issue for basically forever, and I believe that instead of just giving up, we should still be strongly encouraging people to read, because it’s good for society

The simple fact of the matter is that the average person who can read at a decent clip can take in a lot more information over a particular time frame than someone who is relying on watching a video or listening to audio. This doesn't mean audio or video are bad. It just means they're slower.

Yup. I looked once at a BBC science documentary of about 50 minutes. The actual content could have been typed onto one side of A4 - 10 minutes reading at most.
