Know Thyself Through LITERATURE:
Try this:
Look on your phone and see how long you spent on this screen yesterday.
In the X hours and X minutes you spent looking at your phone yesterday, what did you learn about what YOU think?
This could be difficult as, I’m making the assumption that what you looked at were other people’s opinions or regurgitated propaganda. Did you learn about YOU?
You can listen to Animal Farm by George Orwell in about 3 hours and 10 minutes.
In 3 Hours and 10 minutes you could learn what YOU think about: Equality, Inequality, Fraternity, The Nature of Man, Society, Dictatorships, Class Divide, Socialism, Communism, Greed, Commercialism, Democracy, Propaganda, History, Community, and The Banning of Books (Between 1952 and 1957, the CIA, in an operation codenamed Aedinosaur, sent millions of balloons carrying copies of the novel into Poland, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia, whose air forces tried to shoot the balloons down, the SAME book that was ‘challenged’ multiple times in the US and was banned 1987 by A superintendent in Bay County, Florida, at the middle school and high school levels. Which the Board overturned due to complaints per the Constitution)
Bonus, in a fraction of the time you wasted yesterday, tomorrow you could learn what YOU think about a lot of shit without commercial interruption, at YOUR pace, and without giving a flying f%$^ about what other people thought about it.
