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.”

We really have to let this turn decompose in prison. Why do we keep smelling this? Ahh right, that's the only reason for this shit to exist...

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.

I know he's young, but this guy can't shake off the mortal coil soon enough. Fuck him forever.

When he dies, I would very much like to examine his brain.

His brain must be super smooth, not looks those rugged brains of the dumb people that read books
