I can't do audio. I can barely do video. I know video is all the rage now as anyone under 40 can't tie their shoes anymore without an explainer video and several wannabe Ewe Tuber celebrities to entertain you during the process.

And yeah, I'm such an old fart: I prefer to read.

And that's where audio bugs me. Like video, it's the serial nature of the content. I cannot pan and scan, I have to be a mostly captive audience to someone droning on half the time about something of no interest. And sure. I could scrub the audio/video fast forward. But it doesn't even compare to the scanning I can visually do with text.

Listening to digital audio - whether talking heads on YouTube or podcasts -- feels like listening to someone else's voice mail to me. Who does that?

But then I haven't owned a car in 5 years...

Try audio books

I've recently started listening to podcasts. But to be fair there is so much volume out there. And mostly it's people who really like to hear themselves talk.

I just finished listening to Uncivil though and I did quite like that one.

Just find some things that you're interested in. A great deal of what I listen are YT video's on that specific topic aswel. I really dislike listening to the radio on my 30 min drive to work, feels like a real waste of time while travelling already is a waste of time.

Good man, i hate the radio, shit turns you into a drone real fast. I listen mostly to history podcasts, my latest discovery is: cost of glory. It is mostly Plutarch inspired but i like the guy's delivery.

Radio is a total waste of time, songs you wouldn’t listen if you had to choose, news that you’ll already read on your phone and many shows that honestly aren’t even interesting. The only time when I liked radio was when I worked construction when I was 18, at least some distractions of doing all that heavy work.

I added the podcasts to my favourites, thanks. I love all of it man, I’m a true nerd in that regard. I absolutely loved listening to Brian Cox on JRE, the way he translates the universe in a understandable way is insane.

Podcasts or even listening to documentaries are easier digestible than audiobooks which are too monotoon for me. I gave up after trying two books, maybe I should give it another go

I like audio books and podcasts in the gym, especially when I get bored of my music.

Actually looking for a good one now. I'll try the one Gordo recommended

Maybe we should open a thread for this, or take it to the books thread

I’d suggest North 02 on YouTube aswel, it’s about evolution. His voice is a bit boring but it’s very interesting.

This matter deserves a thread indeed.

China is an economic joke, and in 40 years they will have close to nothing. Their population is going to fall to 650M because of their one-child policy, most of those persons are women. They will have close to no workers for the middle class. They are done.

This you bro?

 

[Hust]

China is a red herring.

We have Bill Gates as America's biggest farmland owner, and you're worried about China??

Absolutely.

red herring. Lol ok

Absolutely.

Gates is a bigger threat, IMO.

They are buying our debt and farmland.
We are such retards on this.

probably cause they don't want to starve to death

That’s a “they” problem.

I agree but I'm confused by the panic around this. what is it you think is going to happen if china buys some farmland here?

and if relations were to sour its not like they can pack it up and take the farmland back home with them

Farmland should never be sold to foreign corporations. We should never relinquish control of our food supply chains.
