It sounds almost as if you're saying learning is only possible by reading, which, I would argue, most of the history of humanity proves false.

Stupid take, one can learn from fiction too.

And not everything's about learning. You are allowed to do things strictly because you enjoy doing them, with no ulterior motive.

Agreed, but the poster made it about that, thus my response. I thoroughly enjoy fiction and non-fiction - and rarely learn anything from them :D
