The author puts out their message, and the recipient has to keep continually choosing to read, intake and process what is being communicated. It’s easy to tune out of conversation, videos or lectures without realizing it. But if you make it to the end of the page and don’t know what just happened, it’s entirely at your discretion to go back and reprocess. Infintely repeatable while requiring constant buy-in without the concept of just waiting out the duration while thinking of other things. Sure it requires a talented author, but to my mind, if you want to understand a complex idea than books are easily the best method.
Books, not just reading but long form text.
