JoBParticipantStupidity is curable…
and the cure is good for your health.
one of the leading indicators of longevity is reading comprehension…

this article cites the groundbreaking research that proves that reading comprehension is not only financially and socially advantageous, but it actually is one of the leading indicators of longevity.
Reading can make you live longer and have a higher quality of life!
And it’s really easy to make the lifestyle changes that will allow you to benefit from this health miracle.
Next time you hear something that you think worth repeating, exercise those little grey cells and look it up…
although it will take some time and will require creating a new habit, this one change will affect not only your longevity but the quality of your life.
And it makes you look good too! This one act stops others from labeling you stupid for repeating erroneous information as fact.
Wikipedia, much maligned by those who revere research, is your best self help tool. You will get a general rundown of what is commonly known as well as links to more in-depth information and/or opinion.
While it is true that research via wikipedia will not give you the context or reasoning that actual books provide…
accessing wikipedia before repeating information is still reading…
and the act of reading has health benefits far beyond longevity.
It is an incredibly powerful antidote to hoof in mouth disease…an affliction that has reached epidemic proportions.
Read for your health… and wealth.. and social standing…
If you are more ambitious and you really want to create the best life possible for your family…
read to your children.
Even infants benefit from the exposure to language that reading provides.
but the best news.. it is never too late to benefit from the power of the written word…

KenParticipantDoes that mean I am going to outlive all those busy executives and multitaskers I had to report to over all those years, that could not read anything but the first 2 lines of an email?
Cool.

JoBParticipantKe,
it probably does.
the bad news is that if they have their way we won’t have access to the kind of medical care that would make that desirable :(
of course.. unless they are very very very wealthy… and smart enough not to put their trust in insurance companies… neither will they:)
