I hope so too. It seems that as our lives get easier and more comfortable, we become less able to think critically. Some people are afraid to think deeply because they associate it with mental problems so they go around just being 'happy' and going 'with the flow' and not thinking too deeply. Look at all the problems in the world - do those in responsible positions actually know what they're doing? Books, besides giving us downtime, should make us be able to think and reflect.
Oh, they do. And even people who don't read critical books seem to think more about what is going on around them. Unfortunately, less and less people seem to want to read. Just follow some influencers or so. And that's very dangerous.
Let's hope more people understand that.
