How do little people read?
>>
No it's not. Literature had always been best as an aristocratic art. Nothing has been worse for literature than mass literacy.
>>
>>25585351
I've never met anyone who regularly reads as a hobby.
>>
>>25585351
I agree. Only people above 170 cm should be taught to read.

mass literacy was good. the lutherans made mass literacy a virtue and consequently made their societies the greatest successes in human history and mogged all the catholictards and orthodox.

>>25585386
Very carefully.

"another" in this case being short term monetary gains...

Do you really want even more normgroids reading and the publishing industry trying to pander to their taste?
I want even less people to read.
>>
>>25585351
It's disturbing because the arts and media really do influence growth and development (sit coms, t*c t*c, vampire movies, etc.) and if reading no longer serves as a counterweight, what else can or does? YT documentaries?

Why shouldn't little people read too?

I've been thinking about this lately.
Say a 160IQ genius artist makes a work of art. In it, he is able to communicate some higher level concept that he has come to understand after decades of introspection and exploring the world in his own unique way.

Flash forward 50 years. A bunch of 100IQ posers on some Reddit book sub reads the book. They can't really understand the idea. Physically its impossible due to their inferior biology. But they try anyway, and dumb down/abstract the original idea until it resembles something they like, and then they say "WOW he's a liberal just like me!"
Basically, not only is useless to try and communicate true genius to the masses. But its actually harmful, because they will misrepresent whatever you do.

>>25585351
Why? There's other ways to obtain information and stories. Books on tape, books on CD, digital audiobooks. Want to learn something? You can find videos on youtube and become and expert.

There is no book that deep. IQ isn't super saiyan powers or whatever anime bullshit you're familiar with buddy.

Normies are borderline disgusting really. My co-worker told me he has read a lot this year. Turned out he has listened to like 4 different audiobooks all about investing and getting rich.
Now he is talking about wanting to ”monetize” his car somehow, since he only uses it occasionally. Our society is sick. Reading wont save us.

self help really is becoming the new silver and golden handcuffs and chains retards willingly imprison themselves with. just billions of ivan illychs walking around with hubermann podcasts blasting through the pods.

It's not my fault those retards keep writing in illiteratish. How many books have been written in Old English in the last decade? I refuse to read shit like "Paul went to the hospital" and pretend it's OK. There are at least 4 problems with this simple clause, and if you speak or write serious stuff in it, you're part of the problem.
