what's the ideal information diet? indexing on medium, i'm something like this now: • 10% books: audiobooks on biographies • 10% podcasts: business, startups, boxing • 0% periodicals • 80% social media: wc/x/reddit • 1% blogs • 1% streaming video i'd like to be: • 60% books • 10% podcasts • 10% periodicals • 4% social media • 15% blogs • 1% streaming video there's at least a few other dimensions though.

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)

ya, it’s a proxy, there’s other dimensions (topics, quality, opinion/research, etc) but I was trying not to mid curve it too much. the medium encourages types of content, e.g social media tends to be short, lossy, temporal, ephemeral and quippy. Books the opposite and so on.
