MODERATORS
Because there are very worthwhile texts to read that improve ones knowledge about oneself and humanity and the universe, which in turn allows oneself to make better decisions and have a better mindset.
Reading fiction still helps a little with that, but is mostly "just" entertainment, which of course is also worthwhile.
Well, I do read quite bit of articles about history or technical progress, but not really whole books. IDK why, it just feels different for me and while articles are ok, I feel like book is too much. So books are almost exclusively fiction for me.
