100 years of pro-reading propaganda. Like nukes dropped on our culture. It will take time for those craters to fade. Until then expect everybody you meet to suffer from an irrational compulsion to read and venerate readers.

Sorry, you'll have to send that as an audio clip, I can't read, I'm too cultural.

Your shallow sarcasm does nothing to mask your abject indoctrinatedness.

Hey, I don't venerate readers, I hate it when people read Sense and Sensibility or War and Peace or Moby Dick out of worthiness. I read what I want, and I read a lot of trash, not important works of literature. Though Moby Dick has a chapter that's all about sailors lovingly holding hands in a bucket of warm sperm, and another one about a priest wearing a whale's penis as a coat, so it's not all bad. But I don't think old Herman really intended it as reading matter, to be honest, it seemed to me more like a hostile act, a 200,000 word prank. But I like reading adventure stories and gumshoe pulp, and I don't want it all converted to videos.
