Reading jeet anon's weeb bullshit made me realize that just like so many other things that are near non-existent now, imagination will be a thing of the past without aggressive course correction. On this foul trajectory, future generations would look at being able to conjure words, images, sounds, and ideas in one's own mind as some far fetched superpower like telekinesis.

Part of why I love reading books far more than any (((entertainment))) that involves a screen (in addition to the obvious: it's the least kiked medium there is, especially older books) is because the scenes my mind is able to weave from well written words is far more fleshed out than any where the imagery is done for you.

Reading "chapter books" (new dumbest phrase ever found) requires more of the person doing the reading than any comic book/manga, tv show, movie, or video goom. So no wonder it's an activity only old farts and anachronisms like myself still engage in; the majority of people are missing the necessary tools: patience, attention span, intelligence, inner voice, and imagination.

I think its already around 50% of people that cant visualize or have an inner monologue. Makes one wonder what other skills humanity has lost over millenia.
