Your father didn't pull out.

Same thing that happened to Blockbuster. They thought people would rather leave the house, drive to a physical store, pay out the ass for a product, and then leave. Then they realized people would rather buy things in their pajama's, in the comfort of their home, for less money, and receive a digital product instantly.

Read in your native language first. If you're older than 6 you should be able to feel the rhythm. You don't really need to study any technicalities to enjoy poetry. Notes are useful, but not essential.

I'm curious and headphone-less, does he do a chinese room thing or is it different?

It requires relativism to function and the destruction of ethnocentrism. Often the people who are against ethnocentrism and the intervention in another society's moralty and the idea that one culture is superior over the other, create an objective standard with a moral code with no right or wrong. This is unreasonable because it is self-destructive to remove all senses of right and wrong. It rrejects the legitimacy and credibility of relativism because when you hold the moral doctrine of relativism consistently it will erase relativism itself instead of creating a moral philosophy that promotes being free of right and wrong. They also have no grounds to tell other people what is right or wrong or how to treat other societies as they themselves cannot define what it means to form a culture or society, are cults a society, what about two people forming a strict moral code? To reduce moral issues to personal taste is the destruction of philosophy, if it were a simple matter of personal attitude then two people with conflicting views would not have conflicting views at all. But since moral views cause conflict moral arguments matter and must be discussed, we cannot simply argue that there is no conflict at all.
