Problem with TED Talks is that there are no exercises for the student, and the lectures are too short for a human memory which is based on repetition. Also, in general, non-interactive videos are worse than books, because when reading a book, the student can slow down and think about what they read.
The Sequences have lessons building on each other, together crossing a few large inferential distances. Most current posts are merely one step in a given direction.
Yes, yes, yes, that's a crucial insight about inferential distances right there. For rationality content that is useful to it's readers, stringing items together is the most important part. Seemingly, no one is seriously doing this now (not even updating old paths to reflect better understanding or methods of transferring knowledge...).
