    i'm able to get by, even without meds

    conversely, i haven't been able to get through a book in over a decade. i have a little over 100 tabs open in my current browser window right now. i have read probably 10% of each one of them, maybe, except for the ones i'll "get back to." it has been months since i first opened them. i have never looked at them. i will never get back to them.

    not everyone is as functional as you are and no amount of forceful rhetoric can fix that. natural ability aside, folks educated in the US may very well have worse reading comprehension than any "literate" peoples in human history. if they learn from videos, make videos. if they learn from memes, fuck it, make memes. if their education is incomplete, then complete it. mastery of a concept should include the ability to break it down to the point that a child can understand it.

        stalin-heart it's understandable. i just try to think of our situation as playing the hand we're given.
