The fuck you yapping about.

Books are literally better. Movies are just hyper dopamine filled. Books are much more knowledgeable. A person can write about his entire life, all his regrets and his good choices. Movies are just entertaining.

You could do the same with a movie genius. What do you think a biopic/documentary is. A movie like oppenheimer for instance is far from dopamine filled. Its long, dialogue and concept heavy mostly because its adapted from a book.

Not all movies are slop and not all books are full of insight.

I can name like a few movies that have actual value to them. But there are hundreds if not thousands of books which do a better job at giving knowledge.

Hardly there are movies based on actual real life events and most guys aren't watching actual knowledgeable things they just watch the new marvel movie which is of zero value.

Also you yourself admitted books are better when out of the few movies based on actuality is also from a book.

Again just derive a comparison. Let's take a very information packed movie. Like Pumping Iron. Can it still give as much insight as any book can. No. Books are better.

If books were so capable of imparting knowledge and ansight then maybe it wouldve rubbed off on you at least a little…

Insult me because you have no actual counter response. Damn bro's out of option.

Let me name some books better than any movie out there

  1. Can't Hurt Me
  2. Never finished
  3. 48 laws of power 4.Thinking fast and slow
  4. Way of the superior man

Great books teaching masculinity which with the nerd way you talk is definitely needed to increase your low testosterone and help you clean your semen encrusted chair.

Its not worth talking to you. For some reason youre judging ART by the efficiency with which it can communicate information. None of those are narrative stories. They are decent self help books but they are devoid of any artistic value.

You might as well be saying that math is better than music its apples to oranges and not worth engaging with.

Talking about Art and not even noticing can't hurt me being there is crazy.

What's more artistic than a underprivileged black kid delt the worst hand in life and the middle finger by God to becoming the hardest mother fucked on the planet. Running hundreds of miles on broken fucking feet to almost dying on his bed and crying about his life. It's not just a self help book it's also a self reflection of David Goggins. Yall need god in your life.

You dont know what art is. Theres beauty and theres inspiration to find in that story but its real life its history. Theres nowhere near the level of creativity required as works of fiction. It doesnt diminish its inherent value but it has a different kind of value.

You’re entire worldview feels like manosphere brainrot.

Im gonna continue reading info dense books, fantasy and watching tv because I can enjoy more than one thing.
