(Me and my weird takes again)
I found a book by Marcus Aurelius I haven't finished last year. And it reminded me of some questions I came up with in the past.
Does reading popular books differ that much from scrolling TitKok? More than that, do you gain that much if you read classics?
I have this weird theory that you do not actually need to read popular 'key' books. You may not get to know exactly what the author expressed, but the general ideas are already dissolved in the collective conscious and will be delivered to you by your peers implicitly.

Though this somewhat contradicts my two other beliefs that were also expressed by Nassim Taleb:
1. If you want to be prepared for the future, you should read classics.
2. Read the source instead of interpretations if you want to grasp the concepts.

I think I should re-read Taleb. It's almost time too - I originally planned to return to Incerto every 5 years.
I am doing really terrible in Persona's terms if you think about it. I got zero confidants. No surprise considering I rarely go outside and do not talk to anyone.
