What is the point of not reading?

To be better than other people. You learn to articulate yourself better by improving your vocabulary, you learn to be a better story teller (and to an extent, entertainer) and you get to see different perspectives (some of which may be from people who lives hundreds of years ago).

It's a much more promiscuous medium for ideas.

Think about how much money goes into even a cartoon, nevermind a movie or a tv series.

You think they're gonna let Kafka write a screenplay?

it's for the transfer of stored information. so you aren't limited to learning only the things your family's elders can remember.

you grew up in a world with a pretty high degree of literacy, so you probably can't understand how incredibly fucking boring life is if you can't read.

Thank you man, I was trying to read through philosophy (stopped at Aristotle) and some classics but now I don't coz it makes me sad to think that if Aristotle is hard to read, how much more will the others be?? And those posts here on /lit/ that talks about classical novels, I can't even relate to some of it baka I even cry myself to sleep sometimes thinking I'll never be that smart
But what you just said makes me want to try again

To expand your world and cease being lonely emperor/prisoner of your own skull.
