Depends on what you’re into, what you do, etc… Could be the difference between winning Final Jeopardy and not. Or being able to identify Alessandro Gazzi by name in a police lineup, for example.
Still better than endless tiktiok scroll, me thinks
Due to shitty company pokicies where I worked, I once had a 6 month stint of reading Wikipedia 4-6 hours a day out of boredom and fuck yeah did I learn a lot of bew things. Sure, not everything sticks, but it’s enough
Also just getting more word a day is great for your vocabulary. Ive been reading a lot more lately and have noticed that the more I read even relatively simple books that my vocabulary has vastly expanded even in everyday life. Im much less often left searching for a word because I have likely seen it more recently.
I recall people in the past spending their day reading random Wikipedia trivia. Overal the knowledge is rather useless.
Useless? Knowledge for its own sake is worth pursuing.
There is no knowledge that is not power.
Is it though?

I mean you can just swipe if it’s not your jam. I think this is a great idea.

Useless knowledge is still better than tiktok https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/07067437221082854
Information > misinformation
Maybe, but you will win more pub quizzes and it’s better than brainrot content
As opposed to spending the day reading social media where the knowledge is useful?
Knowledge is a good in and of itself
Because Tiktok is so much better.
