>Sorry, please explain to me. What exactly do you think the point of reading is?
To be knowledgeable on a shared repository of terms for things and ideas within a system you participate in that uses books as its communicatory backlog
>Presumably you wouldn't say don't watch films/television/YouTube etc right?
I absolutely say that and extend that to music of any kind as it all constitutes a lazy complacent way of life
>I mean, how exactly do you expect me to learn about history?
history is written at the historian's table and never forms a basis for making decisions for any generation. The idea of learning from history is dismissed by even historians
