There you go again using your "personal experience" as your only evidence again. Despite all the evidence to the contrary, you will still hold onto a demonstrably false idea... incorrigible.

Lol....but that wouldn't have been very fun...now would it?

More important is happiness I would be willing to bet readers, certainly curious people, who pursue knowledge, overindex on happiness? 🙂 It has been proven race doesn't. Which is why racism is dying.

ProfD Interesting how this thread went from a new Pope to skyscrapers . 😉 And it's probably going to take an even MORE interesting turn because...... umbararchist We could see the construction of the Sears Tower from the living room window of the fraternity when I was at the Illinois Institute of Technology. My pledge father was a super senior architect. What I found funny was that all of the architects were more interested in discussing how much money the architectural firm was making than the building. Fraternity??? Oh man....another Black Greek. Did you eventually make it to 0Sigma Pi Phi? If you did, you'd KNOW by now why those towers fell...lol.

I tend to believe readers are born, not made. Curiosity plays a great role in the pursuit of knowledge via the printed word. How your brain is wired influences your curiosity. I READ somewhere that there are people who if never taught to read, would learn to do so on their own. Unfortunately, being an avid reader is not synonymous with being rich and successful.
