ideal information is just high quality information, source doesn't really matter imo books have historically had better quality than the rest so its a good proxy indicator but doesnt have to be e.g. if you want to read research papers instead (and I say this after doing many years of 50 books/year)

I guess the other question is what information do you want to ingest. I was heavy on books for a long time but depending on what you want to learn about other resources or practices might be way more useful. There’s also that balance between learning foundational things that many people have written about vs knowing what’s new and discovering more about it which usually require different sources/methods. What are you curious about these days?

I’m with you. I barely read news these days. They always seem sensationalistic and super biased. I’m on a quest to find a good source on international affairs and economy that is more about mid term analysis.

if you read the right things, the periodicals % can go as up as 40% the economist, foreign affairs and even many lifestyle magazines have powerful coverage and the fact they have to / manage to compete with online publishers encourages quality my split would be more like 50% books, 40% periodicals, 10% all else
