      The recommendation is not “woah go listen to this, so insightful!”

      The recommendation is “they attempt to articulate their mentality, and it serves as a study of cognitive dissonance.”

      You arent being told to go listen to a lecture, and study the words of a master.

      Youre being told to go observe a massively influencial mentality in the wild, and study them in a contained environment.

      Its like being told to read the bible. Its not because you should be christian. Its because this book influences the world around you heavily, and you should understand it.
