you’ve been traumatized into hating reading (and it makes you easier to oppress). (ismatu.substack.com)

The ruling class wants you to be literate enough to understand their written orders. And nothing more. True literacy is punk. True literacy is revolutionary.

If you look at this article and think "this is too long to read" you're part of the target audience. Make the time.

I’ve tried audiobooks but it seems that - as silly as it sounds - I need closed captions with those

Dude, same!

I've also had that experience, but it really depends on how well it's been narrated.

For example, Stephen Fry's version of Harry Potter (yes, I know, but it's really well read) it's immediately obvious who says what and he's well spoken. Unsurprising as he's also a good actor and that does matter.

Some audiobooks the narrator rambles, doesn't enunciate clearly, and doesn't make it obvious who said what.

Oh my gosh, I absolutely love Stephen Fry's narrations! You're right, the production quality of the audiobook, as well as the cadence of the narrator, can make or break it.
