How Did Reading Lead to Introspection?

i think we are like minds on that front line. We both just read a lot as kids, and it feelsk,. even though we are from half way across the planet, we both feel like we have the s sense of all this mythology and all this. And ah, nois the question again, how how did that come into introspect? How did reading lead to interest?

How would you say that doing activities of introspection came out of reading? For like,
Speaker 1
i mean, i guess i i was a, well, so early on, just when when life wasn't yet, you know, in the way i woud s like, in very early days of school, for example, youud just show up at school, and in course, the long i already read all of the subject matter, ike, doing the holidays and stuff, so school felt effortless. So even in school, i would be reading under the desks and stuff. And so at that during that phase thing, reading just felt like it was populating my inner landscape. And, and so that, that can be a tricky thing to talk about with people who haven't done it, like you. Now, some ofthe people i've spoken to u, i've, i've gone on a potcas with igan robot, and i think we are like minds on that front line. We both just read a lot as kids, and it feelsk, even though we are from half way across the planet, we both feel like we have the s sense of, like, all this mythology and all this, you know, they're conventions across a goneros and andthisstis there's something like a language of literature in general, that if you haven't read much, you may not have access to it as well as people who do. And the distinction between the two groups isn't something that's discussed a lot, because the peopl i think, the people who are in each camp to associate primarily with people from the same camp. So people don't really try, make a lot of effort to try and understand and relate to people who have a completely different way of approaching the word. And ah, nois the question again, how how did that come into introspect? How did reading lead to interest?
