Cheeky distinction between king and rowling

SHIGGY

Fact: There is no practical nor philosophical reason to read books

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”

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.

Fact: The average person doesn’t read books (ever) yet is happier, healthier, wiser, more well rounded, and better looking than you.

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.

Fact: If you read books you are wasting your precious dwindling time on this earth as a slave to someone else’s thoughts.
