The habit of getting direct experience

There are tradeoffs for everything in life, but reading a lot (of the best books) isn’t dangerous. The hunger for wisdom seems to be the only desire that we can satiate. There isn’t a risk of overindulgence. After enough reading, we become charged with good ideas and courage to go out and explore the world. Once we get fueled up on enough wisdom, we become inspired to embark on our next hero and heroine’s journey. This means we’re guaranteed to get direct experience in the real world without some technological filter.

Binge reading books leads to a hunger for experience in the real world.
