But my computer doesn't have an any key
Legendary customer service call
I've got a guy I read every day (not discounting your totals at all, but Seth Godin is around 18 years without at least one post per day) and the book he publishes every year. I ALWAYS find something new and incredible.
It's pretty grim, isn't it? I know in the US roughly 25% of college graduates NEVER read another book after college. It goes up from there. I'd guess you've partly hit on the why of it...
I much prefer to read. So much so that I don't subscribe to any podcasts and listen to maybe 10 per month. Maybe 10. But I know that I am a rare bird.
I certainly don't know the answer.
How I see it is, the more one thinks, the more one can think. I am not smart by anyone's measure, but I can think about things relatively quickly and formulate a response that is credible to consider. It makes me look like an asshole at times, as I am very rarely short a word or a response.
We have created a pretty lopsided world in many ways and I hope to help some people find balance again.
