    Sorry my nootropics regime doesn’t allow me to read books, but I asked some chatbots and they agreed with you. I’m also going to have to buy a new calculator, because according to the chatbots the math on my calc is wrong.

        Well, I think that any self improvement group when going on long enough will run out of ideas and will go into ‘we should do book summaries and then read them to each other so we can optimize the amount of books we read’. So it went a bit from there. It is a scary odd pattern, where they all hype knowledge (esp in a reactionary way, so ‘the old books’(which those are is left to the reader)), but refuse to actually read full books.
