Have you ever thought that this whole "dream evocation and amplification via text-consumption" thing might be a dead end? I mean, 99.999% of the meaning is coming from your own head anyway. And there is this powerful and toxic illusion of "knowing", which ain't good.
It's basically solipsism-opium. Might be a bad trade.

- closedloop129 4y agoI would look at it the other way round: Books teach solipsism. How much is that needed for our civilization and future progress? Without book, you have spoken words. Their meaning is also coming from one's head, but civilizations without books aren't that famous.
