This "I'm so busy hustling I don't have time to read no books" sort of machismo has become quite fashionable.
I believe it's a mistake because there's a balance.
No, you don't want to become the ineffectual intellectual, constantly learning but never doing. It definitely is easy to see books and learning as progress when you should to be out on the sharp end.
But there are techniques you might use and mistakes you might not make if you invest into learning about and from written material. It seems like a celebration of ignorance to act otherwise.
- yathern 9y agoI think it's self-relevant advice. If your tendencies are to constantly read about launching your business - that may get in the way of actually going in and doing it. This advice isn't relevant to those who have the opposite problem - but for those who use learning as a procrastination device, it can be just the right advice to put you into the happy medium
- crispinb 9y ago> you don't want to become the ineffectual intellectual, constantly learning but never doing Yes I do. Can't afford it unfortunately, but an ineffectual gentleman scientist and man of letters sounds like the perfect life to me.
