Comment on Is there any way I can study Marxist theory in a way that wouldn't seem too boring or dry?

Boredom isn’t a lack of entertainment, it’s a lack of interest. Learning something challenging feels frustrating, captivating, even maddening, but never boring.

I can’t really argue with you about this because I’m just pulling from my own personal experiences here.

In the business, that’s called “anecdotal evidence”. The reason you can’t argue with me is because anecdotal evidence is kind of irrelevant compared to the statistical observation that children spend decades reaching a median fifth grade reading level.

I am not making a scientific claim. I am making a claim about my personal experience. That's like someone saying "I find painting to be personally fulfilling" and then you're like 'um acktually that's anecdotal evidence". Touch some grass
