So here is the challenge everyone of you will fail instead of providing examples of good books who can counter my narrative you will all rage like children.So here is what I learned by growing up.You know the propaganda>You are smart only if you read booksOnly none of that is true. Books especially anything published by the printing press is trash like literally worthless trash on paper. I mean you can find examples to counter this however over 99% of learning and fiction are trash.I learned all I needed to learn how books are trash by learning to program. All these books are worthless trash who only teach you like the basics in a cut down form. The level of how shit they are is truly astonishing. They are an insult to anyone intelligence and you learn more by literally going and pestering people on the internet in the 2000s. Or watching youtube tutorials, while exploitative now they are free and can give you some insight.Maybe there are good learning books from worthless theoretical subjects like gender studies where you literally only memorize meaningless words and the responses to them, however anything real is basically unavailable. Here instead of being a raging turd you can provide counter examples however you will not I can bet.And this is 100% a book problem the medium itself is limited as fuck. Anything that is not blind repetition of meaningless academic words and their combinations is far beyond a books ability to transmit. Lets give you a simple example I actually did read books who say they can teach you to use a program and they are a clown show of pages after pages of some guy plastering screenshots and giving you instructions like>Now press the secret menu and change the parameter to 14And you spend literal minutes trying to figure out what he is talking aboutWait where was the secret menu again?Where do I change it to 14????1/9
>>546266762Contrast this to video tutorial where the guy does the same thing. Even if he is fast and goes>Do this> click> click> Opens> Here 14You will stop rewind and do it step by step far faster then what a stupid book tries to do. And this is not limited to programs literally anything other then absurd academic word games is in this category. Want to learn how to forge metals? Oh boy is a book a bad choice! Meanwhile you can watch a video of a guy who says>So hit it like thisMaybe he exaggerates his movements for demonstration.This is literally true for everything>How to sword fight>How to shoot a gun>How to driveLiterally every skill and you will never learn anything good from books. It is unbelievable how hard we where scammed into this cult of literature. While this shit was pointless trash! Like you will not learn (almost) anything useful from this shit!2/9
>>546266793Here I like to note a exception driving, the exception here is books that list street signs(more a pamphlet to be honest) however a noteworthy exception. HOWEVER these books are not really literature since they rely on pictures, more like a picture book and you see this repeat itself since we arrive at the only good book that is a picture book and this is no joke.The snobs(mentally ill fagots) on /lit/ will scoff however this is the truth! If you disagree make a text only(no ASCII art allowed!) book that explains what street signs mean what to someone who needs to learn this. You find this incredibly difficult. And it will take 55 times longer then showing the pictures.Another example will be books who teach proper gun holding techniques once again you arrive at a picture book hiving little words and lots of pictures to show this same for sword fighting etc. The written word is unbelievably limited and can not transmit any knowledge. What does it mean to "thrust your sword in a confident forward straight motion" ? Often literature will need to try to invent new words to even describe what it tries to communicate and fail. See example of how some signs look. >Bending arrow in a blue circle will really not help as much as the actual picture of how it looks. This is not a case of>Oh you are a visual learnerThis is a case of you being mentally ill and defective while humans do not work good in the written(or spoken) word at all.Literature needs walls of text who often fail to try to communicate the same information.Contrast you recording how you cook and what "a generous amount of salt" actually looks like. Often there are movements who are hidden or forgotten to be spoken by the one who communicates this information in written/spoken form. These are simple facts. 3/9
>>546266858As for the exception, maybe books who tell you how to calculate your taxes are a good example since they work here? However is knowing how to pay the government the right amount of money actually knowledge? Not that I know I pay an accountant to do that for me.Maybe books about mathematical formulas? However this hardly justifies the library of books on the wall.Legal books? Maybe if you are a lawyer?While videos are not perfect and the best way is to actually interact with a teacher on this subject they are the closest thing to transmit the most information possible about a given subject not in person. So this kills the idea that you are smart because you read books. You actually know shit and even if you managed to remember all the words in a book describing a task you will have no knowledge since for example welding requires hands on practice not you reading words! And you will fuck up if given a MIG Welder. Same for shooting a gun, or driving a car. Books are simply trash here. And the best printed paper can do is be a picture book. So the propaganda of books making you smart is debunked. What is left there? Fiction. Fiction is trash literally worthless trash. How you think you reading about elfs or magic UFO men makes you smart is beyond me.However not only this often these fictional books are the biggest trash imaginable even popular books(who buys this trash actually?) are so badly written and so uninteresting that fan fiction you can get for free(also literature) is superior in every way to it. I have encountered books who are so bad you want to throw them at the wall and start burning down libraries. 4/9
>>546266886Like who reads this trash? And for entertainment? You are better watch something on TV. And the same limitations of literature show up again. Literature is painfully locked to the culture it is written for. For example contrast space opera star shit designs with writing. You can try to explain how a sovereign or constitution class star ship looks like or what a Miranda class looks like or try describing a romulan war bird and you see the problem. So you get stories of pirates and rabbits and frogs and things someone in 1800 knows. Instead of new things he did never experience before. Also you can try to cope with>The book can have picturesHowever this is the problem here now you admitted how limited literature is and that pictures are far more superior. Also fun fact the most popular school trash novels are literally picture books. Treasure island? Literally is famous for its pictures -> picture book. Alice in wonderland? Once more a picture book. If you got the version without pictures the writing is pure ass and boring as fuck. We should be praising the artists who drew the illustrations not the fagot who made up the basically flat and unoriginal world full of badly written sentences and other boring stuff!5/9
>>546266932Turns out that the best book is a comic book not fucken literature! The written word is limited to the culture and time it is in for example the same words the same characters can have totally different meaning and tone by the person who has spoken them then what your culture upbringing made you believe. I think the most obvious example is Richard Dawkins who says he is "culturally christian" or has a "cultural christian upbringing" this sentence needs explaining since most people have no idea what he means by this. It is not>Oh no my cultural upbringing makes me so evil and blind to other religionsit is>Fuck other religions LOL. Remove mosques.Same words, same time totally different meaning. There is much lost when the tone is removed a obvious fact. This book propaganda only exists to fuel the book publishing industry. People who are most into books are all mentally ill freaks! Picture related, imagine binge this level of a dysgenic goblin and having literally nothing to your name other then reading this worthless trash books! I know people who are hard into books and one guy told me he gets literally shakes when he is not reading a book and starts reading information about exiting the buss(you know the things posted on public transport) this is mental illness actually. Any counter arguments?
>complains about how books are trash>writes a book to explain it
I'm not reading all that retarded bullshit.Faggot OP wrote a book to shit on books.
>>546266993>>writes a book to explain itDo you prefer audio recording? This is a text only website (exploitation in pictures will also be text).>>complains about how books are trashImagine so totally not understanding my point.1) Over 99% of all books are pure trash2) You buying them and stacking behind you like this is supposed to make you smart is a total mistake. 3) Therefore the book fetishism of>noo not the burning of booksAre meaningless. >writes a book to explain itIf my posts are a book where is the publisher? Where is the ISBN?
>>546267174>I'm not reading all that retarded bullshit.DO you want me to read this to you?>Faggot OP wrote a book to shit on books.Use the tools of your enemy to destroy them!>I'm not reading all that retarded bullshit.Fagot can not read will still dick suck and defend the book industry!

>>546266762just scrolling through the catalog i thought this thread was about mexican politics
>>546267392>I would only read a short summary of the novel online just to get a passing grade. If I try to read a novel or any I just get bored and start yawning after a few pages I would rather stare at the wall than read a novel.Forgot to mention that novels(lol reading fictional trash and thinking you are smart) are literally manufactured shit by the printing press cartel think of it like the way youtube now rewards long form content and these fagots in these 2h videos literally generate nothing of importance. Or it is a 8h live stream where the fagot is literally wasting everyone's time and interrupts with>Thank you dick sucker nazi 666! Thanks for the $4! Publishers wanted to sell big books so a retarded story that takes 3 pages is stretched out to 800 pages and it drags in the most pointless shit imaginable.In contrast check out stories before the printing press(mythology, fairy tales, fables) they are short and get to the point you do not need a 300 page description how this fagot walked to school every day in detail to get the point. You really do not need 500 pages to tell the story of the frog and the scorpion. However the printing press mafia wanted to sell more of their paper trash so they only published stretched out bullshit since that is more paper and consumers think big paper book = quality.
>>546267590>i thought this thread was about mexican politicsWhy? That is not he flag of mexico.....
