i read books not only because i want to learn something, no, i read them, to judge the author, laugh at him, how dumb and boring he is
i never just accept what i read, im the opposite of naive
i evaluate it, legit thinking whether it makes sense or is smart
my critical thinking is enormous
i am always convinced to be smarter than the book author

it reminds me of a friend i had at school
he told me his father read the quran
i told: is he retarded?
he then said: he read it, to argue against it, to find better arguments against islam
he was legit reading it with malicious intent
and thats how i read too.

I read this today
"I may be mistaken, but the present-day writer, when he takes his pen in hand to treat a subject which he has studied deeply, has to bear in mind that the average reader, who has never concerned himself with this subject, if he reads does so with the view, not of learning something from the writer, but rather, of pronouncing judgment on him when he is not in agreement with the commonplaces that the said reader carries in his head. If the individuals who make up the mass believed themselves specially qualified, it would be a case merely of personal error, not a sociological subversion. The characteristic of the hour is that the commonplace mind, knowing itself to be commonplace, has the assurance to proclaim the rights of the commonplace and to impose them wherever it will. "

normies live in prescriptive mode so even talking about anything niche will lead to this
