      I dont think he shat the bed on taskmaster at all. He leaned into his persona (knowledgeable, but fundamentally inept) and also he'd just been diagnosed with Parkinson's, so wasn't feeling massively competitive. 😂

    It is technically possible to read a book while listening to an audiobook, but it requires intense concentration which will make you very cranky and it will be less efficient than just reading books in sequence. That's because audiobooks are really slow in comparison to fast reading, so you don't "win" much time by having it on. Factor in how it will distract you and require you to read some passages twice and you're better off (and MUCH more chillaxed) by just reading one book after the other. And all that is pretty much the best case.

    • @tobos8909
      @tobos8909 Год назад +1

      You don't necessarily have to be paying attention to an audiobook, since you can process background information at the same time to a limited degree. It's part of the cocktail party effect, it's why you can recall details about other people's conversations by just being in the same room

      Just because you know facts doesn't mean you are competent at making good decisions for millions of people. It helps to know facts, but it is hardly the only required criteria.

      Reagan had the biggest win by electoral college, whereas the biggest win in terms of the popular vote in an actual contested election was Jefferson's 73% in 1804.
      1788, 1792 were uncontested for Washington, in 1820 only one party had candidates while the Federalists got votes without an actual candidate. Given those qualifiers, the 1984 and 1804 elections were the most decisive. I'd wager that's where he misremembered or misspoke.
