Is this a good book for me, now?
Such a surface level view.<p>Books can lie and deceive and they can be wrong and evil.<p>There's this strange idea that books are good for you and television is garbage. Nothing is further from the truth. Both books and television are just different forms of human output both of which can be bad or good because humans themselves can be bad or good. One isn't particularly better than the other.<p>One thing about books though is the amount of effort it takes to read it. The effort is so great that completion of a book often leads to more bias. Not always but often. The more effort you spend on something the higher positive bias you build towards it. Hence books tend to be more convincing then television which requires zero effort to consume.
