He straight up says that he hasn't read 4 out of the 20 books on the first page of reviews. Across the next three pages he'll admit to having not finished 11 of the 60 listings. 18% could be taken as a representative sample. He probably hasn't read 144 books in 800 book claim. And then notice that Rudyard listened to at least one title on audiobook.

It reminded me of a weird tweet from Rudyard earlier this summer, where he's reading Fall of the Third Reich and then he's listening to it in the same breath. Idk about you but if my job was making YouTube videos about history, I'd want to "notice" the content of my sources.

Lots of people listen to audiobooks at work, but it's interesting that Rudyard isn't actually reading if his channel is his income. If he's trying to be a scholar, his job should be reading scholarly text. But he doesn't. He listens to audiobooks while playing RTS games, and loses details in the writing when his villagers revolt. He's "listening" to academic works on audiobook, on kratom, on CBD, and sometimes Ayahuasca. But that's okay because it's actually in his genes.
You're forgetting the fact that Rudyard thinks in sound... Do you want him to get psychically tortured by having to read actual written words?
This all reads like a total cope he's adopted in order to deny having autism, since its a sort of stereotype that autists employ more visual thinking, and he's totally not like them at all. Why else would he make retarded shit up about battles being guitars and creations being songs??
This kinda ties in with his constant insistence that he's a mega empath wizard that can feel the psychic energy of others. He clearly isn't, considering any time someone disagrees with him he spergs out and gets defensive (i.e. being unable to understand the other person's POV). Not to mention the awkward pictures of him like the one with the sword, or when the camera is pointing at his giant norwooding forehead and he looks like a sex offender. This is not a person who has self awareness or a grasp on what others think.
He also says society is evil and he hates everyone, how everybody in our society is a "hedonistic nihilist", how everyone but him is sick, etc. (very reminiscent of autists who rag on "neurotypicals" and how incomprehensible they are). True empathic wizardry at play.
