How the ACTUAL FUCK do you have the time/energy/consistent uninterrupted mental space to be well-read and to write these days?Even if you aren't hustling and have an average 9-5 job, it feels nearly impossible given the sheer amount of distractions, the frantic pace of the world, and the amount of bullshit you have to deal with on a daily basis. Are we "cooked" as the retarded kids say?
I simply pretend I am and make vague allusions that everyone else can't handle me, that way I never have to prove anything
>>24795852It's easier now than it ever used to be. Most people don't read that much so being "well read" really just entails superficial familiarity with popular contemporary authors and a smattering of older influences.
there were only like 40 books in the 1940s, anon.
>>24795852Become a NEET. Bin all your electronics. Start reading.
>>24795852If you start replacing time you spend on social media and other time wasters you'd be surprised at how much you can read.
Put down your phone and stop doomscrolling. Most people have like 6+ hours of screen time per day, sacrifice a couple of those hours to reading
just be a neet
