not reading a book in 6 months doesn't mean that the person can't read. some people just don't have the time. this is so incredibly tone deaf

Like, yes, reading is an excellent way to build a broad fund of knowledge and to practice analytic thinking, abstract reasoning, and comparative rationale, but you can build those skill in many different ways. I agree that reading is VERY important. But I dont agree with the supposition that it is a categorical prerequisite for having an informed opinion.

Okay that IS a bit weird. Yeah, we should be reading, but books aren't the only kind of written media? Theres so much more nuance around this than that, thats a crazy starting point

Maybe some people just prefer movies, or music, or another type of media for entertainment. Doesn’t mean their opinion is invalid in the slightest

All the people disagreeing in the comments are proving your point. Reading books is very important and so many people just take it for granted because “reading is boring”

I've read a few books but I genuinely struggle to visualise anything when I read just plain words. it's why I only read nonfiction or manga

I think this is a very TikTok way of looking at a much more complicated issue. Reading books is valuable, and declining literacy rates are a real concern, but acting like someone’s opinions on movies, art, or culture suddenly don’t matter because they haven’t read a book in six months is arbitrary. People engage with long-form ideas through films, essays, journalism, documentaries, podcasts, research papers, and other forms of media. Reading is one way to develop critical thinking, not the only way. Also, saying there’s “no excuse” not to read ignores the reality that people have different circumstances, disabilities, work schedules, responsibilities, and access to books. Encouraging people to read more is one thing. Turning reading into a measure of whose opinions are worth listening to is another.
