I really can't understand that first quote. Even if you believe you're doing something "highbrow and personally enriching", that doesn't make you a snob.

- AnimalMuppet 10y agoIf you do something highbrow because it's highbrow, that probably does in fact make you a snob. Whether that was intended by the original quote, I will leave others to decide.
- ImSkeptical 10y agoI disagree. You might want to experience a change of pace. You might be interested in what "highbrow" is. You might like to challenge yourself. To be a snob, I believe you'd have to look down on other people for their preferred content forms. E.g. "Oh, you're reading a website? I remember when I used to do that. Before I had discovered podcasts."
