Is being a regular reader an actual advantage in life?

>> No.14611108

depends on what you read. I mean if you're reading and understanding math / finance / programming stuff , big bucks.
if you're reading philosophy and fiction , uhh well you'll be really obnoxious to talk to, so people will leave you alone more, so you can read more.

>if you're reading philosophy and fiction
Philosophy is trash because it is useless, but I can't imagine being able to have a conversation with someone who has never read Don Quixote.

The lower the brow and higher the quantity the more advantageous it is—in life that is, become an expert orator of what the masses consume and you're on a stable path to wealth.

The things you want to achieve/obtain, I suppose. Not sure of OP's take but, ostensibly, it's pretty straightforward what advantage would afford.

I just think it's a pointless question. Advantage for what? Against whom?
