Psychology is a pseudoscience that got popularized by intellectuals who wanted to feel even more superior to the lower class. Anyone who is mildly complex won’t fit into the psychologist’s predetermined boxes.

>Fact: There is no practical nor philosophical reason to read books
Care to explain this point?

>Fact: Your desire to read nonfiction and especially philosophy is purely selfish, you want to feel good about yourself and believe that you’re better than others because you think about “the big questions”
How can you tell? Of course there are psueds who just want to namedrop but isn’t it maddening to summarize a whole board as one kind of person? I’ve seen people who are genuinely interested in philosophy here. You most likely came to this conclusion becuase you’ve been here for maybe 10 mins and mistake actual conversations for psuedry because you are intimidated/confused by them. Then you proceeded to try to make yourself feel better and smarter by making this poorly thought out post becuase you felt your intelligence was attacked. One can also infer from your various responses where you try to reinforce your intelligence that you are insecure about it.

>Fact: If you are able to passively sit and consume books you are a conformist and are mentally chucked every time you read a book because the other person’s thoughts dominate your mental space. If you don’t feel the need to debate the author after a few sentences you’re not as bright as you think you are.
I could go into another paragraph here about how this reeks of intellectual insecurity but I won’t. Anyone who is decently smart can see the blatant insecurity here that stems from your combativeness. However, isn’t it just as cocked to compete in an economic system where you are pushed around and have little control? You are literally being forced to do things by more powerful men than you for the sake of their financial gain. Just food for thought.

>Fact: The average person doesn’t read books (ever) yet is happier, healthier, wiser, more well rounded, and better looking than you.
This is a sly attempt at making yourself seem better than everyone here simply based on your aversion to literature. It is also a baseless claim and only used to make yourself fell better.

>Fact: The vast, vast majority of what you read you won’t remember. Life experience (which is what people who don’t read books operate off of) is far more valuable and far more practical.
The point of reading isn’t to remember everything you read, it’s to remember the important things you read.

>Fact: If you read books you are wasting your precious dwindling time on this earth as a slave to someone else’s thoughts.
What a sad world it must be for you if you can only see it in the master-slave dynamic. And, isn’t everyone a slave to other people’s thoughts inadvertently? Most of western thought (which no doubt you subscribe to) was made by smarter men than you. From your perspective wouldn’t society just be a means to enslavement?

Final thoughts:
You are obviously insecure about your intellectual capacity and your ability to exercise power. I would write more but I cannot

Okay, nice bait, here’s your (you)
