When did you realise that audio books and the oral medium are far more patrician than books?

>oral is much older
>oral requires much less technology, which is impure and inherently pleb
>oral can be listened to while walking or jogging
>literature, like vidya, magic the gathering, and sex dolls, has spawned its own nerdy subculture that instantly makes all adherents much less attractive to potential mates (a sign of evolutionary failure)

Agreed, I realized this years ago.

The problem is: Where get free audiobooks?

Piratebay is lacking in many philosophical texts, and the free ones on youtube are generally terrible.

Need Neechee audiobook plz

listening is a passive activity. reading is active.

you retain more from reading, it also exposes the intricacies of prose which you simply cannot observe by purely listening.

more importantly: audiobooks are for people who are too lazy or dumb to get through a book so they have to have it read to them like a child.

Let's just imagine you finished "lit meme trio" and then found out each second page from audio books was made up.
