I always feel worthlessly stupid when I watch people with several degrees and a huge library

And I wonder how is it even possible they read all those books.

I only read a handful of books in my entire life and I don't even have books at home

Example, I was watching this interview and look at that guys personal library behind him

Our ability to give attention to things has been stolen from us. This is inherent in our society and culture. We are desensitized.

You have to deliberately take the time to sit and do it. You won't want to, you will get bored very quick. You have to be comfortable doing that. In order to do that, you have to sit through the discomfort.

We are not taught how to use our brains and bodies.

We are taught how to be obedient slaves. With very limited thinking abilities. That is on purpose.

We can undo this, but it requires significant work.

How does a kid get into rotator cuff surgery at 11 years old? That's wild. It's so specific.

Some people just like to have a clogged bookshelf in the background to make them look clever and well read. No way of telling if they've ever read ANY of those books.
