Normies staying out of literature is a blessing. It remains the only part of my life where I can avoid them.

Reminder to breathe deep and realize how tense your face muscles and back muscles are right now

Reminder that you can defuse a panic attack before it happens by telling your body that you are in charge, it's not in charge of you

Reminder that you can learn secular transcendental meditation and change your whole life in a few weeks of casual practice

Reminder that plebs are not real, plebs are chaos that has not been given form

I suspect a more accurate word for him is “amusement” rather than entertainment. A-muse means “to make somebody without thought, without introspection, without reflection, and so on”. In that case, YouTube and Netflix might be superior. For those of us who do not wish to drown our minds in a sea of dopamine and adrenaline, but on the contrary to experience real art, real beauty, real emotion, real thought, real reflection, books are superior.

Hey now, youtube can sometimes be a good source for old tv shows with certain quality to them, although of course, those that actually list youtube as better form of entertainment don't bother looking for those.

I classify modern direct-to-streaming below distraction and above white noise. It is in no way entertaining, it aims to be recommended and discussed or defended vehemently but it most certainty isn't a self-contained piece of entertainment that pleases. That would risk deplorables gaining inspiration from the work and thus self-incriminate the artist as a nazi.

I think reading a book is superior to netflix and youtube if what you seek is reducing stress through entertainment. Sometimes you are just fed up with extra noises and an overload of visual depiction and all you can handle is entetainment in written black and white form, maybe an audiobook with a calm reader is even a better alternative while closing your eyes and lying in a fetal position

For people who have a complete understanding that they are their body, materialists tend to be in fucking terrible shape.

I agree but the best fiction I've read (Anna Karenina, Madame Bovary, ISOLT) have all been void of moralism
