can you make up for a lack in life experience by reading

>>9880702
Yes. Experience is overrated. The one who reads more on a subject is often times more competent than the one who relies on experience.

>>9880702
I learn a shit ton from other people's mistakes. Just avoiding common mistakes puts you way ahead of the average pleb.

>>9880702
Yes, but the experience is good too.

How is reading not an experience?

>>9880742

Because it's not """"""real"""""" life.

>>9880702
I'm sure in some aspects you can. However life experiences may provide something far more personal that shapes an individual. What experiences are you referring to?

>>9880754
This is 4chan, probably he doesn't have experience with girls or with friends, probably both.

>>9880702
Nope, you can replicate it but at the end of the day it's escapism and you're a fucking pussy for not going outside.
