Does reading books make you lose touch with reality?

The more you read, the less you spend time with the world you live in and the more time you spend inside a world forged by the mind of a man.

You have to be either very gullible or ignorant to believe people forcing sanitary dictatorships are good people.

Of course it does, the most pleasurable sensations, the most decadent or indulgent thoughts both intellectually and emotionally, available at the flick of the eyes. Reading is a drug, an artificial object that causes a release of any emotion or sensation you want to choose from and induces vivid hallucinations, done typically at the expense of your friends and family. The same reasons we drink are the same reasons we read. We’re trying to find truth through escape.

No, reading books, especially fiction, is the only way you can actually get close to multiplying the quantity of life you live at the expense of a few hours of your time every day. It is possibly one of the few things that grants you access to reality rather than distracting you from it. Other media, especially visual media which are mass produced in the lowest possible qualities, get you out of touch with reality be constantly feeding you a corporate version of reality made to appeal to fantasies and desires so that you can be mildly happy and keep buying things you don't actually want or need. The feeling of being out of touch with reality while everybody else is in touch with it actually testifies to its exact opposite, namely, that you are the only persone who managed to get in touch with reality by daily self-inducing allucinations of multiple lives from different times and dimensions into his brain, while others spend most of their times masturbating over the same tv or anime tropes repeated over and over again for decades.
