Self-professed misogynist influencer Andrew Tate believes reading is for people with “slow brains,” according to a recent resurfaced clip of him on X. In the video, Tate is seen bragging that his brain is too advanced for reading and that he’d rather be in constant chaos.

“I’m too smart to read. I know you’re sitting there going ‘smart people read’… no. I need action. I need constant chaos in my life to feel content. I need to be driving a supercar and f—ing fighting, f—ing a bunch of hoes and champagne… going crazy.”

    He’s a media producer, and he ain’t producing books. Of course he’s going to tell his audience books don’t matter.

      The only difference between Maga morons and of some liberal snowflakes here is what they find triggering.

        I mean one side has literal Nazis, is building detention facilities while sending a poorly militia into cities to arrest and attempt to disappear people without any charges, the other side just wants a half-assed European social democracy (because you know the Democratic party is currently captured and unwilling to make any meaningful change that isn’t incremental and trivial to reverse)

    I mean. I can’t read well because I have that double vision thing and dyslexia like a mother fucker o top of my ADHD. I do audio books on long drives tho. They really put me into the story. But he’s just admitting he is misinformed on all matters of life.

      I don’t see a correlation between reading book and misinformation.

      The reality is, these people often aware of what is going on, and they actively choose to adapt extreme views, because they know what their fans base want to hear. Making them rich.

      Their view of the world is simple, the goal justify the means.

        I believe these clowns actually believe their own bullshit. Whole heartedly. There is no mask off moment. They are fully deluded.

    This is pretty old. I know it says that, but like why? I didn’t look at the article, but I clearly remember this from years ago. Why is it being brought back up? The people that claim to be alpha males have donkey brains. It’s not new information.

      Make friends with your IT guy, devise a plan to block the correct web domains for the 2 hours ahead of any company meeting to let that problem sort itself out.

      He upsets people which facebook and most other social media designers view as an important way to keep users engaged.
