Can't stress enough how important this is. Your brain will rot if your sole media diet is tweets and short-form videos. You need to be reading daily. The consequences of a world in which no one has the sustained attention to read a book will be catastrophic.

Polish author Karolina Opolska published a book about "Conspiracy Theory, or the True History of the World", including pseudohistory/archaol. but it turns that her bibliography refers to non-existing works (presumably invented by artificial intelligence) raising two questions
Dawno nie czułem takiego zażenowania. Karolina Opolska, dziennikarka i wykładowczyni dziennikarstwa, nie miała cywilnej odwagi przyznać się, że w swojej książce… po prostu zmyśliła część przypisów. Nie pomyliła się, wymyśliła nieistniejące książki, albo nie zweryfikowała tego co
