> binging 6 hrs on movies/shows every days is sure not as valuable as reading 6 hrs every day. Citation needed All reading is not inherently valuable, in the same way all television is not. I don't get any more socialisation from reading a book, and indeed unlike e.g. watching TV with housemates/family it's an entirely isolated non-social activity. Now, if we're talking solely about _children_ then i will give the act of reading additional value due to reading comprehension being a key skill that they need to improve! But mine isn't getting any better at this point, certainly not by reading the same old trash I always do. "TV bad, Books good" is just a weird generalisation that sticks in my craw and I've never seen a believable piece of evidence for it
