Comment on Reading is consciousness-altering and a bit toxic.

It kind of goes together with constructionism. Reality is what you perceive and it is proven to be a little different for every person. Colors are slightly different, sounds are different. So objective reality as such is not really a thing. By that logic writing it down and saying it were objective is kind of illogical.

But still, the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks. You for example would not be here if books didnt exist. Only through books is programming taught and the devs of lemmy and the fediverse are ample readers afaik.
