Sometimes it takes a lot of words. It's bad that the current generation seems to all be ADHD with the attention span of a goldfish. I can't even watch TV because the scenes flash by so fast I can't even focus on anything.
Everyone needs to be able to read long passages, even entire books, to gain knowledge. It takes a lot of words to explain complicated things.
People are just watching super short TikToks and "reading" graphic novels that are almost nothing but pictures.
This is superficial and not in depth. This is why those people in the videos don't know how many states there are or how far you can go in an hour if you're going 60 MPH. They see knowledge go by, but don't grab any of it.
Slow down and read the words.
Read the Bible. Read some Shakespeare or Plato or Tacitus or anything other than cereal boxes and comic strips.
The guy in the drawing refusing knowledge is pathetic.
I disagree with your premise. I can see it taking a lot of words to discuss complicated ideas, but if you're truly only trying to impart knowledge, someone with a good grasp of the subject should be able to do so in a condensed format. Doing so may miss out on important details, but the person on the receiving end should still be able to grasp the larger idea regardless. Good meme though.
I don't agree with the idea that people don't have enough physical time to read. They say "tldr" to anything over a couple of sentences. There is plenty of time, if they cut down on phones, tv, games, and sports.
I might have a good grasp of how an atomic bomb is constructed, but I can't tell you how in just a sentence or two. All I could tell you in a sentence or two is the rough theory. That little amount of knowledge could kill you.
