I think this is an interesting perspective, thanks for sharing. It reminds me of the bill hicks bit he did about sitting in a cafe and being asked, “why are you reading?”.

While I think your ideas about the motivations of younger people are very plausible, I’m not so sure that the slightly older generations ever lost this aggressive habit.

Again, I was watching something the other day, and the streamer was getting angry about an online commentator because they were sat in front of a full book case.

Anyway, I’m not disagreeing with anything you said, I’d overlooked the context that some people have arrived at these feelings by. I would say, though, that the spread of people online is greater than ever before. So there’s a chance to run into a wide variety of different positions. Including men raging at book cases!
