That's because these are notes, not a book. A list-heavy outline format makes sense for notes, as these are summaries that supplement your own memory and knowledge you've already taken in. They're not a sole/primary source of conveying knowledge to others on their own.

If you truly believe books are "suboptimal", I can only suggest that you consider looking inward and do some reflection:

Is the "problem" really with books and long-form writing, which is the dominant form of knowledge transfer across several thousand years of human civilization?

Or is the problem with people's attention spans in the past decade, due to dopamine-fueling social media doom scrolling and AI usage?
