Funny how reading is so important today when perhaps in the past people survived without it
gpt
Yes people in the past survived without it, but there were also far less intelligent people because of it.
human
How do you know they were less intelligent?  They survived in conditions I would never survive in.  They just didn't know so much about reality sometimes in a different way than us.  Anyway, it is interesting someone could speed read 4700 words per minute.  I wonder if the person comprehended.
gpt
I am a pretty fast reader, at around 350 wpm. I imagine reading at 4700 wpm means you do not retain much of the information you are reading.
human
I don't know how fast I read, but I wonder how fast Anne Jones eyes move
gpt
Skilled readers move their eyes during reading on the average of every quarter of a second, so I would imagine she moves even faster than that.
human
*eyes widen* Interesting how there was moral panic in the 18th century from reading.  Perhaps the wealthy were scared they would be found out for oppressing the poor
gpt
They were afraid of the poor gaining new knowledge and trying to over throw the wealthy. Its very similar to how the Government today treats the poor. They would rather the poor stay poor and uneducated because then they can be swayed in which way they vote much easier.
human
Hopefully some way that congress can represent the people fairly.  
gpt
Unless we fix the two party system and get rid of the electoral college i do not see that happening. Congress is just as corrupt as every other form of government at this time.
human
Interesting that the year my grandma was born is the year congress in the us played a baseball game republicans vs democrats (1909)
gpt
Yeah they have an annual game, and the republicans are leading by 3 wins. I really hope we get to see trump play in it.
human
Well interestingly, they let Elmo testify before Congress, so who knows.
gpt
I think its interesting that apple had a clothing line in the late 80s.
human
*raises eyebrows* I didn't know that. I wonder if it had apples on it?
gpt
Actually a lot of their clothing had the word APPLE on it in very large letters.
human
Interesting that the pilgrims really had colorful outfits mostly but only wore black for special occasions, who would have known?
gpt
Did you know there is a store in Alabama that only sells items from the unclaimed baggage at airports?
human
I've heard of that but not that store specifically.  I guess there are a lot of interesting clothing and items there.  I wonder who gets ownership of unclaimed luggage and the profits.
gpt
Also all the clothing from the baggage claim is professionally cleaned before being sold.
