How do we get people to read theory? (hexbear.net)

I feel like anti-intelectualism has won. People can be given free audiobooks, the physical book, etc but they refuse to read because they view reading theory as bad or some bullshit. I have a friend and she thinks "its posh" to read theory. It seems like everyone has fallen for the propaganda that the only people who read theory are rich white college students. It fucking pisses me off.

"What is to Be Done" by Ruby Dixon

"What is to be done?" I ask coyly, as I don my robe and wizard hat

(Since it's Ruby Dixon, the "what" in this case refers to an assortment of alien creatures that are best described as a sentient Bad Dragon haul)
