No. Mostly because the majority of people don’t care to fix it in themselves. The majority of people do not want to think much.

When Trump was first president my bil got books for Christmas. Now keep in mind this is a guy that was like 21 years old. He freaked out. “What am I supposed to do with books?” “Read them!” “No. I don’t read.”

Yes he was a right winger.

I've done all of these things. But damnit step 4 is the hardest one. I have been trying to finish this book on Chinggis Khan but in struggling.

non fiction books make me want to kill myself

I usually feel the same. A few notable exceptions I have found:

• [Salt: A World History)] (https://www.markkurlansky.com/books/salt-a-world-history/) - the history of salt is way more interesting than you would think.
• [The Mother Tongue: English and How It Got That Way] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mother_Tongue) - English is a damn weird language.
• [A People's History of the United States] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_People's_History_of_the_United_States) - a much more accurate and honest history than the whitewashed version that public schools teach.

Forgot that on ny short list but I did have Mother Tongue.

Muscle atrophy can be fixed with slow consistent effort. The brain in many ways acts similar to a muscle. Brain rot is simply having offloaded too much thinking capacity, you need to build it back up. Not easy though

May I recommend some David Graeber. He was a leftist and anthropologist who had a way with words

You aren't obligated to finish every book you start. It's okay to rage-quit in the middle sometimes. Some books are just written terribly or the subject just isn't as interesting as we first thought. You can always come back to it later or try someone else's take on the subject.

I've never rage quit a non fiction book, I just get bored. I have quit reading a bunch of non-fiction though.
