A huge factor in the collapse of our collective mental health is the decline in reading for pleasure. Reading lessens loneliness, builds community, sharpens the intellect. It brings joy. You will be shocked at how much better you feel if you begin to read regularly.
And btw: read anything. Read fanfic, read comics, read on kindle, read manga on the shonen jump app on your phone

The party who calls you a Nazi, Hitler, racist, a Putin puppet, a pedo protector, a white supremacist, and every name in the book 24/7 - wants you to know that calling Michelle Obama, a man is a bridge too far.The party who calls you a Nazi, Hitler, racist, a Putin puppet, a pedo protector, a white supremacist, and every name in the book 24/7 - wants you to know that calling Michelle Obama, a man is a bridge too far.0 Σχόλια 0 Μοιράστηκε 662 Views

Just read this on this news…..and my thoughts.
”Elite university students are now incapable of reading a book.
Instead of fixing this, universities are simply reducing reading requirements to shorter and shorter excerpts.”
I don't think anybody really grasps how desperate this situation is.
University professors are now saying they are unable to teach history because reading long books and passages is how a person learns history. College kids are incapable of reading more than a few pages.
Some classes don't assign any reading at all now, only lectures.
There is an assumption among the people managing this decline that reading is just a way of receiving information. It isn't. Proper reading is how we build the mental muscle to synthesize ideas and evaluate them.
If the catastrophic decline in reading and literacy is not addressed now, we risk losing everything.
Western civilization cannot survive the death of reading because it was built by people with the kind of cognitive depth that a culture of deep reading brings:
Complex reasoning, extended internal dialogue, the capacity to hold opposing ideas in tension. Our systems and institutions are complex, and they require well ordered minds to maintain them.
Reading forms minds, and the West was built by the richest minds in history.Just read this on this news…..and my thoughts. ”Elite university students are now incapable of reading a book.

I used to believe in birth control as a means to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies and abortions, but I changed my mind. Here’s why.
In 1968, Pope Paul VI wrote Humanae Vitae and was mocked for it. He saw exactly where we were headed.
He predicted that widespread contraception would open the door to more infidelity, a lowering of moral standards, and men viewing women as something to use instead of someone to honor and protect. This is what happens when we separate sex from commitment and from the possibility of life.
Contraception didn’t reduce abortion; it helped build the mindset that made abortion inevitable and provided another opportunity to profit off women’s bodies.
When society is told that it is possible have sex without consequences, the baby is viewed as a failure.
A child is not a failure. We shouldn’t be surprised that a child results from a procreative act.
We fail ourselves by dividing sex from the goodness God created it for. We fail our children by viewing them as accidents.I used to believe in birth control as a means to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies and abortions, but I changed my mind. Here’s why.
