It is still of course useful to read books, because reitaration of fact in a passive manner is one of the best ways to learn. Action works with a logarithmic scale but in the different direction; so you have to commit to action for a while before you see any considerable real results. Oooo, pseudo-intellectualism is fun ;) One thing I didn’t mention in the article is that knowledge often works on a logarithmic scale; so the first book you read on a given subject will inform you greatly but each book will give you progressively less new information.
