Because it isn't, everyone have sequential thoughts with almost identical "speed", the difference is that some ppl can focus on their interlocutor and stop their train thought (or fake interest in their conversation), while others can't
I use the streaming service qobuz, which have curated playlists and "albums of the week". It allows me to discover new styles or artists that I never thought much about.
Sometimes it's a miss, but that's depending on taste. Also, the sound quality is really good if you have the hardware required.

Le comptoir Sécu, Which is a periodic review of cyber security news.
a list of content creators that you can find in podcasts ( or youtube), pretty politicals : clément victorovitch (rethoric analyst, with a heavy focus on french politics, pretty mainstream but hard leaning left. Mathieu burgalassi ( french journalist focusing on fighting fascism and alt-right, everything he does is heavily sourced and he also did some debates)
French here. when sick, I use an app to book a appointment to a medical center I have that's like 5 minutes away by foot ( not typical for all french residents but I am quite lucky with where I live). I usually have an appointment in the next 2 to 4 hours tops. Depending on what it is, I walk away with a prescription and certificate for work stating how many sicks days I have. This costs me nothing, appart from the occasional optional medication that is not reimbursed.
Still have both smartphone and pc (mostly for gaming).
