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.”

    It’s people like him who make me realize that if I wasn’t a good person, (well okay, alright person) I could be rich beyond my wildest dreams.

      I am dyslexic and read slow, even still I can gain information faster from text better than other media like videos.

    People bragging about how super smart they are usually lower the population average significantly.

      These people are just shameless manipulators of the stupid, which is the only form of intelligence our society really respects right now.

      Ie, elon musk is a genius, why? Not for doing anything real, but for hyping the value of his stocks beyond any semblance of reason. The president, all the rw influencers, business dickheads, the quality they have that is valued is playing the population, no one cares if it’s true, they care if they get enough people to believe it and therefore make money off of it.

      Meanwhile people that actually invent stuff, that actually figure stuff out, aren’t even celebrated, they are a cog in a machine under one of these confidence men, their contributions attributed to the Musks of the world. Nikola Tesla would not be respected if he was around today, just used and abused by these manipulators that would take all the credit.

    Also does he know textbooks exist?

    I need action. I need constant chaos in my life to feel content.

    This is the sound of deep, deep, profound, deep insecurity chasing a man down a never-ending alleyway peppered with neon signs that say “Unattractive to Women?”, “Easily Bullied By Other Men?”, “GAY???”

    I hope he does serious prison time for his crimes, because it will be extra enjoyable knowing that it’s literally the worst place he could ever find himself. No escaping one’s own mind in that place.

      Oh if he goes to prison he’s going to get it. The guards will be taking bets on how long he lasts.

        He has money and political connections, he will get let off easy, and if a prison sentence at all will get VIP treatment, not the least in Eastern Europe.
