Now now, you're forgetting the crucial part where you post everywhere about how you've listened to <book recommended by your favorite tech influencer, who hasn't read it himself> and that it was a life changing experience.

You couldn't quote a single line from it and it's most likely some vapid bullshit in that book anyways, but that makes you _better_ than those non readers.

Yep. Vapid doesn't even begin to describe it. Ironically these kinds of books could have been pamphlets or blog posts.

Which is why few in this hustler culture tend to go anywhere. They're all just wasting each other's time.
