Video is not the standard medium of communication in academic philosophy. I imagine the GP mentioned youtube because most people are more likely to watch a video than read a paper.

Or GP himself watches these videos. And I would push back on the claim that most posters here are more likely to watch a Youtube video than read an article.

I was thinking the same thing, I can't stand how slow video is, much easier to read text.

To be clear, I don’t sit there for hours watching videos on YouTube (I have a busy career and a family so that’s not an option these days).

I do consume a lot of YouTube content as audio-only when driving or exercising.

I find video particularly satisfying for this topic and these figures, because much of the most valuable insight emerges through discussion and debate.

I’ve read Kastrup’s book “Why Materialism is Baloney” and found it very satisfying - but I was already amenable to his position; I don’t imagine it would be persuasive to an entrenched skeptic.
