Seriously, I don't know what it is about reading random people's comments that makes reading easier for me but if books felt this way I would have finished so many more books that I have by now.

In this world, is the destiny of man controlled by some transcendental entity or law? Is it like the hand of God hovering above?

Because it's easy to read this stuff and forget it.

Books create a general mandate that you maintain a general record of the events that happened or understanding concepts

I fell like I retain more information here than I do on Facebook. Gotta count for something.

It's a different experience for sure, but I've gotten into arguments on this site when I have to show proof, I have to write back coherently not to look foolish, I have to go back and re read things people have said, I have to keep an internal log of which users behave a certain way etc. Participating on gfaqs is far more challenging than reading a book if you ask me.

A message board arguably make you smarter than any book.
You acquire a secondary communication sense devoid of sound or physical human expression. You can clearly tell a person cannot register the same sarcasm or tone as you on writing, or interpret a more highly subtle form of humor you do. Seriously. Even at GameFaqs you can tell when a person is still completely virgin in reading comprehension, and that includes the mods.

You see it in FB comments when people overreact to what was an obvious joke/gag/meme/etc. We live in a society where people aren't trying to be smart, but just trying to tell everyone else they're smart or have power. It can be police brutality, or the utter lack of intelligence posting at an internet message board.

TC you're in GameFaqs, a school of higher learning than what most of society can offer. Even other message boards are dumb as shit because they mix in a bunch of boomers who indulge in their know-nothing perspectives. How they type and everything.
