Then the pages of the books will become dusty and humid, for sure deteriorated. Let alone the other beings living in the house will also somehow interact with the books in other ways than the romantic fantasy setup you proposed.

What the heck are you even talking about? I gotta say, Hacker News is probably one of the least welcoming communities on the internet.

Try to leave a book open on the kitchen a couple of weeks, and another on the bathroom/shower. Then come back and post. And if you happen to not live alone, the same. IF the book is large enough/hard cover to remain open by the page you were reading.

Basically I am calling BS for what it is.

Those are not places I suggested leaving books, because I'm not stupid. I suggested: by the toilet. So you can learn something every time you poop. Then there's these other things called shelves... I own a few.

It is welcoming, but it may also challenge your ideas and beliefs.

For that I value it.

The people who are unwelcoming on HN and the people who post interesting/challenging responses... do not seem to overlap.
