He’s right, though.

>>10916626
fuck you kike

>>10916626
How isn't he right? The publishing industry has proved itself to be monopolistic and anti competitive at every turn, to the point of straight up siphoning money from authors without any compensation and even authors that died hundreds of years ago

>>10916626
It's true, as a philosophy major I can confirm that all the knowledge you need is freely available through online courses.
The only book worth purchasing is one that teaches you critical thinking.
I'm saying this because it's the most valuable knowledge you will find out there.

Stopped reading right there. Reading a few snippets of Plato's republic doesn't make you a major in folosophy kid

But its true
Everything I dont like (circumcision, communism, kosher meat) is tied to the jews

>>10916626
Didn't MIT post all of their undergrad materials online for anyone to read?

If you don't have a computer our taxes are paying for public libraries with all the same shit and internet access you just have to be autist enough to study it for no degree

>A downloadable pdf version of Mein Krampf is Jewish
>A downloadable pdf version of Aristotle's politics is Jewish
>A downloadable pdf version of Keynes - The general theory of employment, interest, and money is JEWISH

Holy shit, the state of this board.

>>10916836
This is funny because I legitimately have a certified very high IQ, certainly bigger than yours, and find books to be a complete waste of time and resources. Although I know someone like you wouldn’t believe me, but I don’t mind.

>>10916836

Kek. I love when low IQ plebs get rustled.

>>10916626
This is why this board will never make it

>>10917073

Low IQ: the posts ladies and gentlemen

Pretty bad bait unless he is actually medically retarded.

>>10917173

>he unironically believes people are honest when it comes to IQ scores

there is no hope for this board anymore

>>10916626
Mr. Noseburg, I like reading books because sometimes i dont want to stare at a fucking screen all day like a NEET cunt. Fuck off you filthy kike

>>10916759
Kike detected

>>10917173
KeK, I love when Mensa posers reference test scores, instead of addressing an argument's merits.

>>10916626
It's unironically true. Sit down one day and try to write a 10 page book of whatever topic you like as an exercise. Not an entire book but just 10 pages.
Now after doing that, remind yourself that no one buys 10 page ebooks and that you must now stretch the text to a minimum of at least 100 pages to justify the average $10 price tag on amazon. This is basically what books are and have been since it became a business. Sometimes capitalism and relying on "making money" alone as your motivator of doing something isn't actually as good as people make it out to be and the product may suffer greatly in quality just so its profitability is maximized, and sadly that's about 99% of modern books

Okay bookfags. Tell me one thing I could find in a book that I couldn't find on the internet.

It's pretty obvious that OP is talking about printed books absolute retard, and downloadable shit it's even more jewish if it's DRM'ed
Fuck off back to plebbit absolute brainlet
>>10917262
Padding shit doesn't increase actual content
>>10917255
A point for bookfags it's that it's pretty hard to find non US/English content on the internet
