Looking beyond John's outrage farming, there's some truth in the whole "Books are for midwits" controversy.

At least, if you state it as something like "I don't want to spend hours reading verbose with very little guarantee of learning something new that actually impacts my life for the better".

Ironically, the questions "How do I know if this will be insightful for me?" or "What parts should I read?" are exactly the kinds of things nostr can start to answer.

Highlighter in particular will bring all these insights to the foreground and make them discoverable based on your profile and social graph.

Competing DVM's with access to these highlights, and god knows what else, will be able to write a synopsis way more personalised and higher in signal then these measly 6 paragraphs.

Books are badass, and nostards will make them even more so.
