Fact: It's far more productive to read an array of magazines (e.g. Private Eye, New Scientist, The Economist, National Geographic, New Statesman/The Spectator, etc.) than to waste your time reading silly novels.

Shitty, shallow, slanted views on subjects.
Might be good for getting a small inkling of what's happening in a few corners of the world though.

Why is knowledge that politicians are all faggots more important than the knowledge of different worldviews? new scientist and national geographic are cool though.

I agree that reading silly novels is silly. Useful, upbuilding novels, on the other hand, are useful and upbuilding.

But what about reading scientific journals and philosopical books? How does that compare to magazines?

Scientific journals are completely dishonest. Why would you trust a publication where people pay the publication to publish them?
