UNIRONICALLY what is the point of reading so much when you are just gonna forget most of it anyway. obviously now with the internet we can look up info when we need it and not stand around trying to remember a bunch of books you spend hours and hours going thru because you wanted to feel smart. future humans should be taught to FIND info not remember it especially when we will be able to do an info dump on AI that will figure out stuff for us

You dont read for information

Reading for information is only one of many reasons to read. I personally read for pleasure, and because I find that experiences via books are much more pleasant and interesting than experiences via “real life.”

I read in order to build up an inner world of my own, a big sprawling landscape of stories, imagination, ideas, and images. That’s where I really like to spend my time, and with every book I read, high and low, the place gets just a little bit richer and more interesting.

I guess this points to a lack of imagination in myself: I need the imagination of others to supplant my own. I’m ok with that tho

>UNIRONICALLY what is the point of living so much when you are just gonna forget most of it anyway.

Literally, unironically, and non-figuratively, kill yourself.

This only applies to reading purely for information, reading something that resonates with you can change your outlook on a particular topic and that isn't easily forgotton.

To expand your ability to process/interpret information and not just be a slack jawed troglodyte repeating what they heard from someone else without questioning the information.

Believe it or not, some of us actually enjoy the act of reading

Low IQ post

memory doesn't work like a hard drive. you don't overload it with too much information and then it becomes full. for all practical intents and purposes, you have an infinite storage capacity. the only reason you don't remember anything is because you don't highlight or take notes, you don't think about what you've read, or engage in any active reading strategies to make it stick. if you just breeze through a book and expect it to absorb everything all it once, you're doing it wrong.

I get everything off LibGen and save it in case I want to share a quote or recommend it to a friend

I quickly forget books after reading. This is unironically why I only read books I bought. Once in a while I look at my bookshelf and check which books I read, and the memories of what I read don't fade away

Shut the fuck up, read Finnegans Wake

İ dunno about that but DAMN that looks delicious

You mean you haven't devised habitual procedures for remembering what you read? Periodic review? Writing analytical essays/analyses/refutations? Transforming knowledge into some kind of actionable pursuit? Are you retarded?

Who forgets what they read?

Why not write down the stuff you want to remember?

You sound like a lazy student: "What's the point in remembering anything? Allow me to use the assigned text during the exam!" You refuse learning though it is near at hand.
You would rather fill your brain with what? The names and lives of demagogues you see on TV, Youtube, whatever degenerate social media platforms you find yourself entranced in while the deadline for your school assignments ticks away?
How can you be capable of any sort of serious thought when you have no inner reservoir of knowledge to draw upon as you think?

because the truth is way more complicated than a googleable factoid can tell you
googling specific facts about neuroscience will give you a wildly inaccurate view of how the brain works; there's a huge amount of information you have to map in to really understand any of it
