It really frustrates me that people, even very successful and capable people I know, take pride in finding every excuse they could to not read a book. Reading critically is how you learn about the world, but whenever I ask people to read a book so we can talk about it, it’s always “I’m too busy, give me a short summary instead”
First, if factory workers 100 years ago who worked 16 hour days can still find time to read, you can too; Second, if I know how to summarize an entire book into a paragraph and have it convey the full meaning of the book, I wouldn’t be telling you to read it.

Yeah it’s a bummer. Proud ignorance has to be one of the worst human traits possible.
You’re gatekeeping what reading is. Good thing your comment and this article are both videos so I didn’t have to read them.
Probably because it’s boring as shit.
