I stopped reading recently. I realized reading books is like mind rape, you are allowing someone else's thoughts into your own head, the books will change you in a conscious or unconscious way. No man steps in the same river twice, for he is not the same man and it is not the same river. Reading a book will leave you changed forever and I can't deal with the responsibility of willingly doing that.
This thread reminds me of a headline I once saw in the local newspaper, front page, above the fold and taking up most of the front page, "Church Bakesale Goes off as Planned." I think about it often, while not a major metro we are also not exactly a small town and there was plenty of news in the world and local of more importance than "Banal event was Banal," I assume the editor was having a bad day and was just suck of the news and politics and everything bad in the world and wanted to remind everyone that life still exists. >frog poster is frog
I started reading morerer recently. I realize reading books is like reverse mind rape. You are taking someone else's thoughts into your own head and reshaping them in your own way, like that one anon on robot teaching me how to write in the feminine voice. No man creams in the same river twice, for he is not the same man and it is not the same sandwich. Taking a book’s words as your own weapons will leave you changed forever and I can deal with the responsibility of willingly doing that.
I've read a bit about Stoicism and Cynicism and it was quite fun but I don't care about going further.
Is it ok to STOP at the greeks? (since everyone says you should start there)
As for novels I've only read two my whole life. I just like movies more sorry
that's ok, you're not missing out much
Welcome to IQfy
Books are overrated. By the time you finish a book you forgot what you read in the beginning
You can't forget what you read IN THE BEGINNING of the Bible amirite lads?
You actually don't. It's encoded in your brain, ready to use if specific context appears
cope
based frick books, frick literature, I also listen only to the Bible and nothing else
You are not supposed to do that here. Start with chatGPT
and yet you just read this post, how hypocritical
Didn't read.

I realised this but I also realised im fine with tolstoy changing my subconscious, mental intervention from him is much needed
Audiobooks doesn't count as a reading
based I also don't, I just ask what ChatGPT thought of it
