This is how I feel when I read many articles:
“Alcohol can lead to rape…”
“Exercise helps you through depression…”
Are we so incapable of critical thinking that everyone must do it for us?
It’s funny. Reading science articles makes people think they’re getting smarter but it’s really doing jack shit for them. All one does is use their memory to recall a science fact they learned in such an article.
I’d so much rather critically think, spend my time reading classic books, of which there’s a lifetime to read.
So I want to run away and live anachronistically. Live my life in a time period of at least prior to WWII, the older the better though. I’ll indulge in the classics. Milk goats, make my own cheese, grow my own fruits and vegetables. Hopefully in a community of likeminded people. No Internet. No cell phones. Just happiness.
