It's so funny to live at the end of the "don't read that, it'll rot your brain" era and the beginning of the "don't watch that, it'll rot your brain" era.

Seems like whatever young people are doing in a given moment is wrong

The olds do it too and it's so much worse for them.

The point of this post isn't that TV is bad and books are good, the kid is watching 1 guy 1 jar on the TV.

I thought you're saying that there was an equivalent of that video in book form back in the day lol

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, I'm sure there is. Plenty of gross out literature has been published.

Naked Lunch by William S Burroughs starts with a man eating shit of a plate.

What if books were invented after video games?

These new 'libraries' that have arisen in recent years to facilitate reading activities are a frightening sight: dozens of young children, normally so vivacious and socially interactive, sitting alone in cubicles, reading silently, oblivious to their peers.

But perhaps the most dangerous property of these books is the fact that they follow a fixed linear path. You can't control their narratives in any fashion - you simply sit back and have the story dictated to you. Why would anyone want to embark on an adventure utterly choreographed by another person? But today's generation embarks on such adventures millions of times a day.

This risks instilling a general passivity in our children, making them feel as though they're powerless to change their circumstances. The book readers of the younger generation are learning to 'follow the plot' instead of learning to lead.

From "Everything Bad Is Good for You" by Steven Johnson

A beautiful piece of contrarianism.

Idk if I'd call it convincing, but it's a great illustration of how you can turn all these critiques on their heads and sound just as "concerned".

Socrates complained that reading and writing would make the youth dumb because they no longer had to rely on memory alone. Old people railing against any change in tradition is a tale older than time.

We’ve moved on to the “don’t play that” era
