data-post-id="23135724"> <div id="sno-story-body-content" class="sno-story-body-content sno-no-cap"> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are books all around my townhouse: on bookshelves, in trolley carts, on my desk, on coffee tables, on the floor, on rectangle pieces of concrete jutting out of the base of a purposeless living room wall. Most of the texts are from my direct roommate and me, and you can expect to find sticky notes and annotations overflowing from their pages — dog-earing is banned in this house.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite today’s reality, my relationship with reading has never been an ironclad love. I was a voracious reader in my youth, but I stopped reading during middle and high school, burnt out by required readings that did not interest me. I returned again to the form during the throes of the pandemic, and I fell in love again with how novels could reconnect me to the world while revealing deep truths and contradictions about the human experience.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alarmingly, more and more people are using the excuse that literary and media content as a collective is “boring” when they mean to say that they cannot be bothered to encounter challenging material. To expand their minds and hearts, audiences should engage with material that does not constantly stimulate them, resisting succumbing to the trend of anti-intellectualism.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Take “The Bee Sting” by Paul Murray</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">,</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> a 600-plus page novel</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> about an Irish nuclear family breaking apart due to financial, environmental and social stressors. It’s one of the best novels I’ve ever read — it was even a </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">finalist for the Booker Prize</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, one of the most prestigious worldwide book awards — but many on </span><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/62039166-the-bee-sting?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=OLoKCYRqxe&rank=1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Goodreads</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, a book review platform, have given the book a one-star rating for its length and ambiguous ending.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Perhaps, in this sense, it is better to address what the reader misses when they dismiss content as “boring.” Many of my political science classes have readings that could be classified as “boring,” such as a historical textbook, but these writings have forged my political beliefs and helped me parse right from wrong. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Even content that should not be labeled as “boring” has become “boring.” Book content creators on TikTok have </span><a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-13842059/booktok-skip-reading-paragraphs-hate-reading-influencers-tiktok.html#:~:text=A%20BookTok%20row%20has%20erupted,'%20reading%20'big%20paragraphs'.&text=Miranda%20from%20the%20US%2C%20who,the%20now%2Ddeleted%20TikTok%20video."><span style="font-weight: 400;">admitted</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that they “skip” paragraphs when they take up too much of the page and “only” read dialogue. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jimmy Kimmel </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0PyDRJKXKM&themeRefresh=1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">called</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> several movies at the </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">2023 Academy Awards</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which dealt with </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">indigenous genocide</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">the creation of the atomic bomb</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">feminism under the patriarchy</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">within sex work</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">“too long.”</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Pop songs and albums are abandoning quality standards to</span> <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/interactive/2024/shorter-songs-again/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">become</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> shorter and shorter to grab our attention spans. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I sometimes skim class readings, check my phone during a movie or hum along to a trending song; so does everyone at some point. Life happens, but the open celebration of anti-intellectualism — the shamelessness to which people have normalized these behaviors when </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">130 million U.S. adults </span><a href="https://map.barbarabush.org/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">lack</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> proficiency in literacy</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> — is incredibly worrying.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Literacy covers all areas of life: engagement with political dialogue, the ability to identify information from disinformation and comprehension of social behavior. It is beyond vital that we start small: challenging ourselves to sit with that long novel, movie or article when the silence has something to teach us.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While writing, I think of the rise of artificial intelligence and the insistence that technology summarizes writing for time. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Apple Intelligence will </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvpccA0UlZk"><span style="font-weight: 400;">summarize</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> your iPhone notifications</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">; </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Google AI will summarize all your searches</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, scholarly or inconspicuous; ChatGPT and OpenAI are everywhere and in everything, summarizing, writing and generating information left and right for people too bothered to do “boring” tasks, like reading a book. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From the economist’s perspective, I’m scared that the long-term implications of our short attention spans and the devices created to accommodate said impatience will catch up to humanity. I do not expect this change to happen in the next few decades, but I fear for generations beyond my reach. I hope and pray that I’m wrong. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our lives are largely plotless inventions, with no clear rising action, climax or falling action. If on a graph, the form of a life is a scribble — loops that cross over one another, lines that go backward and forward at the same time, a big, confusing blur. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The most “boring” forms of media, the ones intentionally slower in pace, have taught me how to love, grieve, forgive and understand. They have made my conversations with friends more robust, interesting and insightful. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So please, try to engage with challenging media that will intentionally “bore” you. I promise that you’ll be better for it.</span></p> </div> </div> <style> .sno-story-body p:not(.infographic-widget-container p, .imagelink-wrap p), .sno-collection-body p, .live-update-wrap p { font-size: 20px;
