  • Yes a business usually consists of people and is driven by profit, you sted the obvious, but what is your point?

    Do people buy their vacuums from Dyson Ltd. or from a guy named Kevin?

    It’s not just about profits, it’s about accountability. That’s what the different forms of corporations represent. A singular private person can’t and shouldn’t be held accountable for every product the produce. A business is a layer of protection of limited (Ltd.) accountability. How could anybody be motivated to invent or produce anything if a single miss use of your product that causes any harm (intended or not) could lead to you directly being held responsible and possible going to jail. A business on the other hand usually has limited accountability but is also held to a much higher standard of quality and proof than a private individual ever could.
















  • The reason is simple, in the time of motion picture, videogames, and music, why would somebody decide to stare at bland black text on white paper for 3 hours a day?

    Reading is by far the least approachable, most time consuming and least rewarding for of self entertainment. Books where the most popular because their distribution was the easiest and the cheapest. Now distribution of digital media including movies, music and videogames has become trivial.

    Books are also the easiest to create (in relative terms), meaning for every GOOD book there are 1000s of really bad ones, and it’s not readily apparent which one is which. Where as for every really good movie there are many only 10 mediocre ones.

    What the article describes as “better mental health” regarding to children reading, is usually a product of the abstraction that book inherently posses. Since all you can go off when reading a novel is your own imagination and maybe some official artwork, books have the least reinforcement of social standards.

    Text is a very reliable way to relais information, but when it comes to telling a story, the more senses you can captivate the more alive a story will feel. Books don’t appeal to your eyes and ears but movies do.
