00:00 Today, books are being written in the PPT format.
00:03 So there are bullet points.
00:04 You do not want to enjoy the beauty of language.
00:09 You do not want to have, let's say, an 800-page volume in your hands.
00:15 Nobody wants to have that kind of patience and it is not really then a crisis or shortage
00:23 of patience in itself.
00:24 It is a problem with the philosophy of this age.
00:28 The book has come to me and my central God is consumption.
00:34 I want to hustle through life.
00:36 I want to reach some place very, very quickly where I can make fast bucks, where I can get
00:44 to consume all the goodies of life.
00:48 And that's the only thing that matters to me.
00:50 The pleasure of reading does not matter.
00:53 If the book has to exist, it has to cater to the same lust.
00:57 Otherwise it cannot exist because that lust today is God.
