Do you think I'd should write a book about the story of humanity inspired by the new age, UFO, illoominati stories?

It seems like easy money.

Does anyone else do sporadic reading?
It's the name I give to my own kind of reading.
I basically only roll my eyes through pages, reading only short sentences and assimilating whatever knowledge possible from that. I go back and forth in a book, it's like I'm scanning it randomly, part after part qnd only certain pieces because I can't read it orderly. It's probably a consequence of attention deficit disorder.

Let me preface this by saying that I really do enjoy reading, studying literature and philosophy is one my passions, but...

I just find it easier to watch movies and tv shows, I can deeply analyse a coen brothers film like I can a book, but the book always has more value. Am I just becoming intellectually lazy? When I was younger (6-10) I'd stay up all night reading YA fiction, and up until around 14 I was doing the same with the classics. Now at 18 reading can be tiresome. Its not that reading is hard-my ability has scaled evenly-, and its not uninteresting, I'm just more enticed by other media.

Is there a remedy for this. I'm not looking for a panacea per say, just something to help.

So i wrote this erotic space drama. The aesthetics is that of a retro-futuristic 80's. It's set in tbe year 1999 and it's SUPER sexual, but in a cancerous comedic sense. A bunch of vaping bros that crash land their spaceship in Uranus after being penetrated by a bunch of aliens.

I need a title, but I'm so uninspired

Reminder that a true sommelier of literature must spit out and reject intellectual filth and drop undeserving books with solemn firmness.
Only a pseud brainlet finishes all books, like a peasant who licks the table in search of the crumbs

> This misrepresentation of science is a direct descendant of the reaction, in the Romantic movement, against the birth of science and empiricism more than 200 years ago; it's exactly the same paranoid fantasy as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, only not as well written. We say descendant, but of course, the humanities haven't really moved forward at all, except to invent cultural relativism, which exists largely as a pooh-pooh reaction against science. And humanities graduates in the media, who suspect themselves to be intellectuals, desperately need to reinforce the idea that science is nonsense: because they've denied themselves access to the most significant developments in the history of western thought for 200 years, and secretly, deep down, they're angry with themselves over that.
