I gave myself brain damage by reading pop-science and pop-philosophy books by some of these authors, especially at a young age.

What should I read to recover?

Read great literature to elevate and cultivate your taste. You could start with short stories and novellas from great authors so you don't burn out on a large novel prior to cultivating an appreciation for literature. Goethe's Sorrows of Young Werther and Dostoevsky's The Underground Man are good starting novellas. Then you can read foundational novels like Goethe's Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship, Flaubert's Madame Bovary, Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, >>22270005, D. H. Lawrence Sons and Lovers etc.

His take on books was a grug brained way of saying first hand experiences are more valuable than second hand experiences, which is true.

Feyerabend, Deleuze & Guattari, Nick Land (unironically) from a Posadist perspective (unironically) using Hoxha-Mao-Stalin thought (ironically). And the german idealists necessary to read the same. Yes I did just call Marx a German Idealist.

Nta but yes. There is no substitute for experience.
You shouldn't experience all those things because they're horrifying, but that just means getting the perspective they provide is horrifying. Not that there is a not-horrifying way of achieving that, as much as you emphatic side would want to believe it.
