I'm not a fan of fiction books.

Fiction relies on made-up characters, plots, and metaphors to explore aspects of reality and human nature.

I find it much more fun to learn the core ideas presented directly.

This cast was misrepresented and straw-manned in multiple ways.

To clarify:

→ I wasn't being prescriptive.
→ I was being descriptive.
→ I was simply sharing my personal preference.
→ I wasn't implying that fiction is a net negative for the world or that others should stop reading it.

two takes stood out to me the most:
@moe “non fiction raises your floor, fiction raises your ceiling”
@six “no take, you do you” (paraphrasing)

pain in the ass quoting more than one person on mobile, going by memory lol
