Why do so many drop reading when they get older?

How does one make realizations about the absence of the self and universal oneness when meditation is essentially avoiding thoughts? All the meditation guides I've seen have said to not let yourself think deeply, but to rather allow thoughts to wash over you, or pass by, without reacting to them. How can you make any realization at all like that?

Being a slave isn't being self sufficient, but twisting the meaning of "slavery" to the extent that it applies to willingly delivering pizzas with opportunity for such luxuries as listening to music or youtube videos while driving, and simultaneously making several times the wage of most of the world is completely melodramatic and characteristic of a self-described existentialist. There are legitimate critiques to this lifestyle regarding the dependent nature of having a job or paying rent, but being completely dependent on your family and in essence extending your adolescence indeterminately is not a valid counter-lifestyle to "wage slavery". I need to make changes, but virulence coming from someone who wants to be a boy for the rest of their life is not valuable to me.

What's the point of reading the early philosophers when most of what they believed was wrong?
