Go outside. Create something with your hands. Fix something that’s broken. Make friends with a stranger.
I’m as far left as they come, but this brain dead theory worship has got to go. DO SOMETHING REAL THAT MATTERS.
Fucking Marx himself said that revolutions that immtate past revolutions are doomed to fail. Don’t see many theory nerds talk about that one.
Focus on developing critical thinking skills before anything else
I would expect most long form reading to help, presuming it’s written by a person who can write.
Reading and studying anything without the help of AI can help unrot your brain.
You could read a fucking cookbook or a dictionary, and even that would be better for you than AI.
There is no real scientific evidence that using AI has a real negative impact on your brain. Like, there literally can’t be - it only became really available in the last few years. Science doesnt work that fast.
And if there is any kind of “brainrot”, it is likely not AI-specific, but is rather related more generally to overuse of tech. 10 years ago, was it “brainrot” to search for an answer to a question on google instead of sitting down and thinking about it real hard and maybe looking it up in an encyclopedia? Maybe. But I would say the issue isn’t really the use of a piece of tech, but the development of a reliance on it, or the formation of a unhealthy habit.
Do you generally have a hard time coming up with answers to your problems? Or paying attention for long periods of time? Well, maybe reading could help you with that. But I doubt reading about socialism will help any more than reading something else that is intellectually challenging. And if you are currently reading nothing long form, you would probably get 90% of the benefits by reading some fun, rompy fiction that you will probably enjoy (and actually keep doing), rather than grinding through page after page of run-on sentences written by a 19th century philosopher.
Reading books in general would work about as well.

Sounds a lot like “Christianity will help you through your addiction/divorce/family death”
I don’t see anything inherent to socialist theory that would push people away from LLMs.
