In my opinion CT's don't like to read, even if it's a News article on the internet that is just a few pages long or even watch and read the English subtitles.in a foreign film.

They go as far as saying they read a book when in fact they only listened to the audio of a book and never really read it themselves. Why is that?

This also raises a question as to if one listens to a audio version of a book if that is the same as reading the book by oneself.

I've never had a problem reading anything, granted I'm not much of a blog reader, and I'm not really to much into reading forums but I do like to read how to tutorials in both book and e-book formats; I also don't mind watching the English subtitles in foreign films. I prefer reading the script or book of a movie than actually watching it.

This question about CT's not being able to read books could possibly answer other question about why CT's never do their own research or look into anything farther than just the top in their own CT beliefs; This could as well possibly show educational patterns with CT's that is not typical with the average society. It's possible people who are CT's are more right brained, and therefore more visual thinkers than being analytical thinkers and therefore are more easily susceptible to believing anything as long as it has strong emotional and visuals to it versus the left brain counter part whose more logical and more analytical.

I like audio books, helps my English and I can take notes while I'm listening. Also, my eyes suck and never miss a chance to tell me how much they hate reading.

But the concept of reading is in a way contrary to the mindset of a conspiracy theorist.

If you are looking for secret plans of highly powerful groups or individuals, you're obviously unlikely to find them in a book. So why waste time? The only reason to do so would be to uncover a cover-up plan - maybe the book was written to conceal the truth and you'll find out how they did it!

It's somewhat similar to a investment scam victim avoiding complicated but useful investment advice and only falling for simple concepts (that turn out to be scams) or a Zeitgeist member avoiding books on economics, social design and political theory and going with simplistic phrases and parables instead.

The "skill" in itself isn't bad, often enough common sense is wrong and looking for a different way can be highly advantageous, but you should try to understand what the state of the status quo is before you try to "debunk" it. The amount of "molten steel" arguments I've heard so far makes me doubt that CTs are able to do that.

THE GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO DUMB US DOWN BY MAKING US WORK SO WE DON'T HAVE TIME OUT OF OUR BUSY SCHEDULE BETWEEN JERKING OFF AND BRUNCH TO COLLECTING FOOD STAMPS TO READ A BBAAOOOKKKKKK!!!! AUDIO BOOKS HELP FIGHT THE GOVERNMENT SO WE DON'T HAVE TO READ SOMEONE ELSE CAN AND IT'S FASTER!

Ok, So a person listens to a audio book instead of reading it; Do you think a audio book reader listener gets the same out of a book versus a person who actually reads a book?

I'd say from experience no. For instance if I'm reading my typical "How Too" books I wouldn't want to do it by audio because it's simply to slow sometimes I skip around it's not efficient and I read faster than I speak, type, and probably whoever is doing the audio reading itself. Granted I watch how too youtube videos which are very helpful but if it was a choice between a how to youtube video and a how to text read I'd stick with the text read always.
