TV is a pacifier for your productive instinct while your synapses stabilize.
Reading is for expending energy and reorganizing your synapses.
holy based
No. They're both equal wastes of time.
Depends on your definition of a waste of time. I don't think it's a controversial claim that reading is a better way to get intellectual work done than watching TV.
honestly, why do anything
>being this retarded
TV is for entertainment. Reading is for enlightenment.
I guarantee neither of you have learned a thing from your books.
good question, user
The last TV show worth watching was the Sopranos and that ended more than a decade ago. Documentaries can be very good, so i watch some on my computer once in a while after pirating. Reading is better than the shit you'll find surfing channels nowadays.
I've read textbooks with objective information but I know you're trying to make some stupid point about usable knowledge.
Obviously people are talking about fiction. You can't learn anything from reading fiction that couldn't be learned from watching a TV show. Also you can watch the news and documentaries to get objective facts
>watch news and documentaries to get the objective facts they decide to show you
Terrible b8
To avoid pain.
tv is the same boring shit
>read books to get the objective facts they decide to write for you
yikes
Discussing with you is either discussing with a retard or with a shitposter. I won't even bother.
It goes even lower. Why do anything when you can just fornicate and masturbate. This is why cumbrain is the lowest and most dead-end form of existence. It never is satisfied. Ever. It's such a waste of time.
This entire thread is cringe. Reading anything, fiction or nonfiction, increases your communication skills and creative problem solving skills. There's also a correlation that scientists who practice literature are 12x more likely to receive a nobel prize compared to the average scientist.

There's many more sources suggesting reading is beneficial, but I don't have the time to spoonfeed you children.
By the way, documentaries are often dumbed down and dramatized to appeal to the lowest common denominator of people. Books are undoubtably a better source of information and I don't know how anybody could deny that.
Now, get off this board and continue shitting up Yea Forums and reddit, and enjoy the rest of your summer.

I can completely agree with this except in one regard. Only your non-verbal communication skills will increase by reading, in fact if simply read a lot but never verbally discuss the material you have read your verbal communication skills will most definitely decrease. Yes, you will have a bigger vocabulary and your prose will get better, but you will have difficulties communicating verbally.
this TV is dead
not doing anything is actually most difficult and higher state than being a busybody
>you can just fornicate
Y-you can? Pls write how.

because there's nothing good on
Tv ruins any and all attention span. Immobility in general errodes the hippocampus leading loss of short term memory and motor function. Fit>lit
You can easily fornicate by giving up a cohesive identity and letting the tides of life take you where they wish. Think no more than absolutely necessary and agree with what the popular opinions are.
why be a cumbrain when you can obsess over cumbrains on 4channel?
I've seen all the good TV shows. There are way more good books than good TV shows.
