Self-professed misogynist influencer Andrew Tate believes reading is for people with “slow brains,” according to a recent resurfaced clip of him on X. In the video, Tate is seen bragging that his brain is too advanced for reading and that he’d rather be in constant chaos.
“I’m too smart to read. I know you’re sitting there going ‘smart people read’… no. I need action. I need constant chaos in my life to feel content. I need to be driving a supercar and f—ing fighting, f—ing a bunch of hoes and champagne… going crazy.”
Tell me you can’t read without telling me you can’t read.
Can we stop posting / sharing what that guy does? Why do we keep him relevant?
rage bait for internet points. pass
Who needs ideas? Just depend on the Holy Word Of Trump. /s
He’s a media producer, and he ain’t producing books. Of course he’s going to tell his audience books don’t matter.
That shithead rapist doesnt deserve the time of day
Ahahahahahahaha!
Funniest thing I’ve heard all day.
Tell that to the snowflakes here that are oh-so-upset this was even posted.
The only difference between Maga morons and of some liberal snowflakes here is what they find triggering.
Why even bother with this. Ugh. Just writing here is icky.
Isn’t this kind of thing the point of the sub? Looks like an onion headline, but it’s real.
That said - i do get it’s a bit depressing and probably doesn’t pass the vibe test.
With all the whining about this post you’d think it was a Bad Bunny post in a Maga sub.
Most people think this is hilarious.
a dirtbag famous for being a dirtbag - i’ll be entertained when he gets put out of commission
Based
I know he’s young, but this guy can’t shake off the mortal coil soon enough. Fuck him forever.
Given how dumb this guy demonstrates himself to be daily, I’m astonished he’s managed to live this long.
I’ll fly to Romania to piss on his grave.
We can make it a group tour.
Sounds like ADHD. Someone correct me if I’m wrong please.
ADHD doesnt make you say something that stupid.
ADHD does track with thriving in chaos. I know that my own attention span sometimes doesn’t stick long enough to read a book.
I tend to consider it a detriment to myself, because it’s at odds with what I wish I could do. I know that others have come to better terms with it. To Tate, however, anything and everything about him has to be another indicator of his supremacy. The logic goes like this:
1: I’m unable to keep my attention on books.
2: Everything that I am is great.
Ergo: My inability to stick with books is a good thing.
Inverse: Reading books is a bad thing.
Ergo: Books are stupid and I’m just too smart.The error lies in the second premise being universal. Whether he might have some great things or none at all is irrelevant here, but I’m sure we all agree that not everything is great. If you turned that premise into a particular “Some things that I am are great” (again, veracity is irrelevant to my point), the syllogism would no longer work and the conclusion would be invalid.
So all in all, he might have ADHD, but that doesn’t make him less of an arrogant waste of space.
ADHD + stupidity?
This is pretty old. I know it says that, but like why? I didn’t look at the article, but I clearly remember this from years ago. Why is it being brought back up? The people that claim to be alpha males have donkey brains. It’s not new information.
Next time I’ll make sure I run it by you before posting.
Not what I said actually or implied but sure.
I mean. I can’t read well because I have that double vision thing and dyslexia like a mother fucker o top of my ADHD. I do audio books on long drives tho. They really put me into the story. But he’s just admitting he is misinformed on all matters of life.
I don’t see a correlation between reading book and misinformation.
The reality is, these people often aware of what is going on, and they actively choose to adapt extreme views, because they know what their fans base want to hear. Making them rich.
Their view of the world is simple, the goal justify the means.
I believe these clowns actually believe their own bullshit. Whole heartedly. There is no mask off moment. They are fully deluded.
This dude is like a jester and the world is his fucking court LOLLL
Functionally illiterate moron insists he’s “Too smart to read.”
Functionally illiterate moron, sex trafficker and rapist insists he’s “Too smart to read.”
What does it say about the society that he is so much better off than me?
He was born rich and wealth taxes don’t effectively exist.
Good catch.
21% of the U.S. is illiterate, with 54% topping out at a 6th grade reading level. Meaning 75% of the U.S. reads at a middle school level, at best… So this clown trying to convince people he’s in the 25% of folks able to read above a 6th grade level is legitimately hilarious!
And this grifting fuck knows that, because that 75% is exactly who he is trying to tap into by appealing to their ignorance.
Keep in mind that these people vote for reality show actors - we are screwed.
21% of the US adults or are children included in that? I’d love to see where you’re getting these stats too.
That’s just for adults, for children the data ranks the States against one another rather than giving an average illiteracy percentage like with adults. Here’s a top tier link on the topic: https://www.thinkimpact.com/literacy-statistics

Interesting how the percentage increases near cities.
It’s all just blue. Terrible color choice to demonstrate any sort of regional differences. It looks like the USA is covered in denim.
54% topping out at a 6th grade reading level.
I’ve seen this stat floated a thousand times, from the same single source.
I’ve yet to have anyone lay out what 8th grade reading level statement 54% of the population can’t understand.
Checking out readability formulas, like the Flesch‑Kincaid grade level formula, should help to clear things up a bit. But in general, a 6th grade reading level is where concrete language, moderate sentence length, and single step reasoning all align. Adding abstract vocab, multiple embedded clauses, or deep cultural references push text above a 6th grade level.
