Huh? You're jumping to conclusions and, frankly, saying foolish things. In addition to just plain being wrong, there's literally no way you could validly infer anything about "the majority of what [I] read or hear" from what I wrote.

You seemed to miss my point.

Do you believe that you learn more by hearing/watching, or reading less?

You seemed to say you don't have time for long-form content? Did I misunderstand what you originally said?

That's not what I said, and you did misunderstand. What I did say is that I didn't have time for a "meandering 3 hour podcast," specifically referring to Rogan's.

Joe Rogan's meandering 3 hour podcast is clearly not the universe of "long-form content."

Gotcha. Well, could there not be benefit you're missing out on, of getting a better understanding of someone to see how they hold themselves while speaking on different topics?

For example, Jordan Peterson is very sharp and articulate on certain topics - but then I notice on certain topics where he hasn't had 15-20+ years of deep analysis/study on, his less polished views show, and is where he gets most of his flak, say on Bitcoin or climate change I personally find value in seeing this broad, meandering view of someone - it in part helps me understanding him as a role model better, likewise observing the growth/personal evolution process further.

What kind of 3-hour long content do you tolerate and that you don't consider to be meandering? Do you have a few examples you could share?

Of course, but there's nearly 8 billion people in the world, so you have to make choices.
