@stats_feed@aidamars@elonmusk Well, if you think about it: If I were an alien, I would also spend millions of dollars building spaceships to get home...
NB1: The range of books obviously has to be large —
Fiction gets you to love reading.
Non-fiction gets you to refine the framework of your thought process:
philosophy, linguistics, economics, biology, history, science, meditation, psychology, biographies...
Reading for ~5 hours a day for 2 years completely rewires your brain.
If you did it as a child,
you’re already smart & may believe it’s innate talent instead of stored effort.
If you didn’t, you won’t be able to try the experiment as an adult unless you suddenly get “rich”.
You can't do what you love because you don't have the skill to make it happen. That's it. Anything else is an excuse, limiting belief, or lack of awareness of what's possible.
