Guess he is saying his parents (both authors) fucked up in more than the obvious way.
I think that’s a bullshit quote. He actually said it but I think he understood how to stir the pot: but being eccentric and controversial.

As someone that has probably read less than 10 fictional books in their life, I can see where he’s coming from.
Like, I’m literate and basically read stuff all day. And I can get through a textbook as a part of a course, but force me to read a novel and by page 7 I’m falling asleep and losing track of the characters.
I’m on the fence about borrowing/buying a book that was based on a podcast series because I fear 90% of what it covered was in the podcast.
Just wondering how this guy finished his MIT Physics undergrad studies without reading a book ? LOL

“I’m very skeptical of books. I don’t want to say no book is ever worth reading, but I actually do believe something pretty close to that,” explains SBF. “I think, if you wrote a book, you fucked up, and it should have been a six-paragraph blog post.”
