Book is no different than a phone unless it's non fiction.
In fact, I would say a fiction book is WORSE than social media. Fiction presents complete disassociation from reality, and entirely in imagination. There are real people in social media, none in a fiction book.
We've had a huge step up in propaganda in my lifetime, they will keep ramping it up, until they can't ramp it up anymore. Our "news media" no longer works, so they moved to social media. Just like people skipped ship from CNN, MSNBC, etc I think they will do the same with Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, but these companies will just lie about engagement and viewership.

Re-reading The Franklin Cover-Up. This was written over 20 years before anyone had even heard of Epstein. But all the trails are there. Pedophilia, central government, CIA, drugs, blackmail, Satanism, money laundering by the deep state. These elements are so interwoven, and repeated, the only logical conclusion one can draw is that they were always designed to work together.

I'm reading Epictetus' Discourses.
He had a good insight on why internet debate usually ends in a brick wall.

- my dad's old college English book (always felt I needed to improve my grammar)
- Candide by Voltaire
- Beyond Good and Evil by Nietzsche
- The Politics by Aristotle
Now I'm reading The Prince by Machiavelli, and really enjoying it. One tip: before invading, look for minorities who will help you because they resent the traditional rulers in their own country. They may in fact invite you in to help them overthrow their own country. This makes me think that the Chinese have read The Prince and are using BLM, gays, and militant feminism as allies in their fight against America.
