        You live in a society where we are told from birth that reading is awsome. In school we are told to read every day. Million dollar propaganda campaigns are waged. Popular celebrities are portrayed enjoying a good book.

        And you think that reading is good too.

        Coincidence?

    Sounds like you better get busy on building that ensmartering button then, because exposure to knowledge through books and other educational media is the only way I know of to become smarter. I suppose healthy living facilitates the process greatly, as well.
