Why is being curious good? Why is reading lots of books good when information presented in a book length document is a cultural artefact?
It seems that stuff like being well read or "curious" or having a "thirst for knowledge" is marketing made to milk consumerwhores. You never see these people doibg mathematical proofs. If it isn't knowledge that can be consumed, displayed, and discretely packaged then they don't care. And nobody markets this to you, of course
It's not even just vacuous business people who extol this shit.
Every single leisure activity ultimately ends up as some sort of work. Reading is no longer about entertainment, it's mainly used as a pseudo intellectual social signalling mechanism

I pirate all my books onto my stolen kindle and read in my room after my workout.
To whom am I signaling and what did I buy?

Because no one cares about your autism numbers.

That's quite a bold assumption. Are you sure you're not just projecting your insecurities on people you see reading in public?
