It boggles my mind how much wisdom you can gain from reading, yet people don't take advantage of it. It's the free gift to humanity, and yet we chose the ones that take more than they give. It's wild.

#i wish i could shake humanity to drop social media and turn back to books and papers for knowledge #ive realized recently that ive fallen a victim to the fallacy of thinking that instagram or yt is giving me a lot of knowledge and thats my-#-incentive to stay #but thats bullshit and if i continue lying to myself then ive lost it #and i know im not the only one and i also know that im not the worst case scenario of this #my teacher was talking about how one of his students gave up playing video games cause he was becoming dumb and dull #and he literally said “the damage has already been done because its not like his brains are going to come running to him now”#i was sitting there thinking if its too late for me #i know it might not be that deep and maybe it isnt #but its not about it being “deep” its simply the very real consequences that ill have to deal with if i dont rectify my life now #in terms of academicc and eveything else #i miss reading those massive hardcover encyclopedias and gaining my knowledge from that #i miss reading obscure charles darwin writings that i dig so hard for and then not understand a word of it #i miss the active choice and selection of what i was learning rathee than the mindless feeding of throw away facts to my brain #im gonna go pick up a book or two now bye hahahaha #txt
