Why do some people and particularly boomers idolize reading

>>712800486
imagine playing an RPG with an actually good story and without the shitty grindan travelan turn-based random encounter slop in between the story parts

>>712800378
It's a glow in the dark book.

Boomers believe in environmental determinism. They genuinely think if you read it will make you smart.

>>712800624
Reading only trains your attention span for more reading.
>>712800693
>>712800541
You're thinking about literature, the cream of the crop, what I mean is people just lionizing the act of reading even if it's utter slop.

>>712800816
It's better than anything else you would spend that time for.

>>712800829
did your bot break or are you really this schizo

>>712800816
This. People idealize reading by itself but a lot of books out there are pure slop, just like movies or games, in the end it's simply another medium

>>712800815
This must be it. If smart people read, reading makes you smart.

>>712800354
I dont get it

>>712800486
Considering the amount of our natives i saw back in school that was all practically illiterate when it came to our own language, to the point fucking immigrants could write it better - yeah i agree, reading should be more enforced.

>>712800378
he's not actually reading, he has his gameboy advance sp hidden behind the book

>>712800486
For those of us that aren't NPC's you can imagine a whole world as you read, sorry you had shitty parents who raised you on a screen since birth and broke your brain.

>>712800935
even reading slop is much better for ur brain then watching movies or playing games tho

>>712800829
I still don't get the joke.

Why do some people and particularly zoomers defend not reading so adamantly

laughing

>>712801165
posing the npc image, you think you are smart? does this make you feel like you have meaning? you are a fucking idiot

Heh.

But everyone here is reading right now. Unless you have some weird screen reader for the blind, you're reading my post right now.

Personally, reading and listening to music are the only forms of media consumption that make me feel good afterwards. Too bad I have no willpower so I consume vidya and youtube slop all day, the past 10 years felt like months because the constant dopamine sedated my brain.

>>712801347
You find it gets you far in life being this facetious?

ass

>>712800486
Reading's been getting popular again since covid.
People are sick of paying for 5 different streaming services only to watch slop, or to pay $100 for shitty video games.
Going /out/ is getting harder, more expensive or full of tourists depending what you do.

Going to the library is free unlimited entertainment and doesnt give you social media brainrot or mess up your sleep schedule.

>Why do some people and particularly boomers idolize reading

I don't really understand the fascination with reading either. As others have said, we're reading right now, and nobody is learning a single thing because everyone on this site is not only stupid, but equally stupid. No amount of reading will make them smarter, so why do they recommend it? I think it's because the NPCs want to believe they can improve themselves somehow.

>>712801580
What did you become instead of a waffle waitress?

>>712801385
You're idolizing something that people do every day while slacking off. Reading "Power Fantasy Slop: Teenage Wizards Edition" does not make you an intelligent person. It does not earn you any of my respect. You are no different from someone who watches a lot of movies.
However, I would respect someone who reads research journals. That's actually important information.

Why are you here if you hate reading? Are you retarded?

>>712801636
Do you think reading would have changed your fate? It wouldn't have. Reading doesn't give someone the most important thing needed for holding a job, which is motivation.
I need to filter every single image in this thread now, seeing as the shitskin NPCs are spamming it. None of them will write anything worth reading in their entire lives, and that's why I have most of the board auto filtered.

It’s scary how few adults actually read books. Is it laziness? Lack of time? Low attention spans? Too many other choices for entertainment? Or are many people just incapable of imagining things as they read?

>>712800486
It's the original friend simulator. When you read fiction, you imagine yourself listening to an awesome story from the awesome person who is the narrator.

All of the above.

>>712801983
>Too many other choices for entertainment?
Probably this one. Also other choices can be done with your family or friends, but reading is solitary and requires focus.

>>712801580
What's wrong with being a waffle waitress?

>>712801724
>He doesn't understand that actual books are formatted differently than 4chan shitppsts
Not the books I read

>>712801613
What matters is learning about and appreciating literature, not the basic act of reading.

Cuz readan makes ya see all dem connections, see all da ideas, think all da thoughts. Cuz lotsa clevar thoughts in lotsa books. Cuz easy to get da info, easy to search for da info. Cuz see da way da others think. Cuz compare thoughts and think your thoughts. Cuz harder to deceive. Cuz readan is fun.

Personally, I spend too much of my work day reading to be interested in doing it for leisure now.
Still try and do a crossword each day though.

>>712802219
Thank you for telling me. I wish you would post in a thread about RPGs or Visual Novels because I have them all filtered. I think I'll filter this one. Enjoy each other's company. This thread has like 10 posts and the sub-humans still reply to me instead of each other. The only solution is to flush the thread down the toilet. I need to go look at these threads they made after I filtered everything.

NTA but have you considered adding lead paint to your diet? It might actually make you smarter.

I read manga and light novels does that count

>>712802242
Apparently it's been a thing in the publishing industry that books written in the third person have been falling out of favor for books written almost entirely in the first person. Evidently both the people reading, and writing, books can't imagine not thinking about themselves.

>>712802304
Do you like having autism?

>>712801983
all of it
have to read a lot at/for work, come home tired and want to chill and switch the brain off
also modern lit is overwhelmingly women-appealing slop (shitty fantasy romance novels)
but youth reads even less because phones/computers, see kids above cant even grasp that reading is the #1 way to learn anything, since they grew up always watching phonescreen, not reading books like past generations had

At least in school they’re always pushing kids to read and let them check out books from the library. But past a certain age it’s like everyone gives up on that.

>>712802685

>>712802692
There's nothing stopping you from being a waffle waitress and reading, the 2 are not mutually exclusive.

Retards opinions are genuinely more engaging than anything written in most books I've read. Any time someone has recommended something, it's usually filled with zero constructive information even if it's technically new to me or something I've already thought of. Retards surprise me every day and I have to live alongside them every day, so it's more useful overall. Plus it's funny sometimes.
