RE: Reading books for free — The ethics of piracy in poverty
When I was a kid I thought that the moment I can buy any book I want will be the moment of my fulfillment in life.
And there you go no I can but I don't have time to read ...
And yes that is why heaving something for free from my point of view is very very important
I actually have a lot of time to read, but I still cannot read every book. I have hundreds of books that I want to read and I still have to dedicate at least one day to each, together with my other activities. No human can read all the books in the world and that is a shame.
So much content is being produced every day and I will miss most of it. Sometimes I wish I were an infinitely-expansible AI that could consume and process all the content in the world.
There is a profound power in this truth. But what if we tried? ;)
We'd read a lot of books and die very savvy and not having finished our task :3
This is, in fact, one of the big worries I have about mortality. I hold this deep unreasonable desire to read every book and watch every movie!
i love how inspired you get by content. probably the reason I'm on this dang platform every day lol
because you absorb words and imagery and really take them to heart <3
Why would you read everything. You sholud read only things that matter something. Why would you waste your time in reading something pointles
I love studying humanity, and sometimes what seems pointless holds the key to a certain interesting trait. I've learned a lot about Chinese culture by reading shitty Chinese web novels, and I've learned a lot abotu spammers by trying to read all of their messages.
