That's funny, I feel the opposite way. With gen ai and seo bot spam clogging up every corner of the internet with garbage, books written over 5 years ago feel like a good source of genuine information.

Books have editors and quality control while the internet is just whatever people felt likenposting withno barrier to entry. The best of bothworlds, of course, is to use the internet to get recommendations for books and thenn pirate them

You've never done research or else you'd know what its like to work through a bunch of books and there is no better source of knowledge than that

Real research is done through journals and patents. Unless you mean reference books, which nobody in their right mind just reads

Reading books improves critical thinking on tons of different topics, and teaches you on how to communicate properly.
Anyone who doesnt read books is a fucking retard.

Books are much better than any other format you consume and it isn't even close.

Books are massively overrated desu. It's a relic of the past when books were the only way to learn new information but with the spread of internet they are becoming obsolete with each passing year.

Also after you read a good deal of non-fiction books you will soon find there is so much garbage written there you will have hard time putting them on pedestal like most people do.
Unironically, a Substack article or Wikipedia can be just as good sources of information as books

You can compare and contrast across any medium, but there are some exceptions for activities. Back-flip theory won't give you the ability until you practice.
Books are better than classrooms by emanation principle: your teacher teaches from the book, the book doesn't teach from the classroom.
Books are better than pictures because they narrow down complexity and ambiguity. If a painting is to be taken as a serious comparison, then the language of the picture must be seriously considered. This leads to the complexity explosion - what icons are present, what do they mean, how are they to be interpreted, what are the colors and focus, context etc - these chain of things leave things open for interpretation and misinterpretation.
Ditto for videos.
Most people read faster than they listen and certainly faster than is spoken. A book can quickly be reviewed while even video scrubbing, convenient as it is, is less effective than flipping pages in a book.
