Haha, I guess I never scroll down. Everything I need is "above the
fold".

Yes, I personally hate watching videos and listening to podcasts. I only
do it when there is no transcript and I am on a long bus or train ride
and can't concentrate on working. I personally found that video to be a
very good explanation of the problems addressed by Guix and the
solutions offered. As well as the newer video you mentioned.
A transcript next to slides [0] can be read in less time than 45
minutes. It can also be skimmed, searched, and anchor-linked.
That wouldn't be a perfect solution but it could be done "almost now".
A number of the ...unusual questions people have asked about Guix
demonstrate a near total lack of knowledge about the project's goals and
design. We need an overview like that provided by the videos. The manual
is more of a "how-to".
I also liked some blog posts by Andy Wingo and Christopher Allan Webber,
although those posts don't explain "the whole picture".
[0] I like this format, with bigger pictures:
