Sharing this to share Soirse's message but also to note how even on Bluesky there are those who assume a woman of Achill who refers to "any library in the country" must be talking about the country they live in, and so needs "correcting"! #MoreThanOneCountry #BookLearning #GoSaoirse
Public libraries are amazing!
Did you know you can borrow a book from any library in the country and return it to any other library?
Did you know they have subscriptions to huge amounts of national and international media that you can access?

So if you think Noah's Ark was real and you're younger than 80, it's a ... choice. A pose. A conscious rejection of booklearning.
And I think once you frame it like that, a lot of Republican policies and politicians snap into place.

Reagan or Bush could have done this too. It’s everything outside the US counts for little, is part of despised booklearning, is interchangeable in the mind, is all just talk. Former presidents with ordinary person‘s ignorance should already have jolted Europeans into developing independent defence.

This is not a book of incisive criticism. The booklearning, insights and recommendations you’ll get from it are incidental. But there’s something soothing about reading about Royle’s exploits. In fact, the very randomness of the books discussed heightens their importance. Books as ordinary things.

These people, for all their booklearning and qualifications dont seem to have learned history's lessons. Everything these imbeciles do has been done before, and it always ends with a violent downfall. I genuinely dont understand how they think "this time, we win forever"?

Just kind of adorable that I really hate acknowledging that I'm better than anyone else or that my smarts are baked in, just would prefer to chock it up to some good ol' booklearning lmao.

Very few RPGs require as much booklearning from players as GMs. Burning Wheel, Ars Magica and its white wolf successors spring to mind.
Ancillary thought: Rules Lawyers are the players that don’t push all responsibility on the GM and can often be persuaded to help teach other players

I want to test a theory I saw on Tumblr, so RTs are appreciated.
Do you think D&D is considered easy to learn because players push the responsibility of knowing the majority of rules to the DM?
To what degree do you feel this contributes to some D&D players unwillingness to try other ttrpgs?

It's not difficult. No one cares about your booklearning. It's abstract and wanky.
People want practical solutions to points of friction in their own lives, and they need to understand where you're coming from in a straightforward talking point.

I would argue that text is something that can provide plenty of learning potential--AFTER a prerequisite amount of embodied learning has happened. See: booklearning, abstractions, mathematics
