  1. I want to read books and get smart but I also want to watch YouTube and play dumb video games. The conflict

    1. @scoot Play a dumb video game that's about reading books.

      1. @extremedash Sort of doesn't quite fulfil the criteria. I'm still doing the dumb thing

        1. @scoot You're playing a game and reading. Which cancel out I guess any intelligence gain.

          1. @extremedash So I don't fulfil the criteria of "get smart"? Then what's the gain here?

            1. @scoot A game about reading?

              1. @extremedash Sounds dull

                1. @scoot Not if you do it right

                  1. @extremedash Name one example, then

                    1. @scoot Skyrim. Just actually read the books.

                      1. @extremedash Wow nope, sounds extremely boring

                    2. @scoot text games?

                      Friday, 21-Feb-14 01:57:34 UTC from web
                      1. @awl The issue is more that I want to convince myself to read instead of wanting to play games all the time. I didn't mean "I wish I could combine these desires" I meant "I wish I could be more interested in smart things"

                        1. @scoot well that beats the suggestion of compromise by reading a particularly dumb book.

    2. @scoot Watch the Brain Age TAS. It's three of those four things at once!
