Lots I disagree with in this article, but I agree with the message.

On another note, I found this section very funny:

Disgraced cryptocurrency swindler Sam Bankman-Fried, for example, once told an interviewer the following, thereby helpfully outing himself as an idiot.

“I would never read a book…I’m very skeptical of books. I don’t want to say no book is ever worth reading, but I actually do believe something pretty close to that. I think, if you wrote a book, you fucked up, and it should have been a six-paragraph blog post.”

Extend his prison sentence.

Yes but let him take time off for reading and shiwing ge comprehends good books.

In a way you or i could knock out in like a really nice month full of cocoa and paper smells.

He will die in a cage.

Initially I thought it was something like Aurelius' diary entry on not spending too much in books and living in the moment. Nope, he's just lazy. I have a friend like that, who reads AI summaries instead of the actual articles. Infuriating to say the least.
