"Number One:
quality of information. Number Two: leisure to digest it. Number Three: the right to
carry out actions based on what we learn from the interaction of the first
two."
These are the three
things that Faber says society needs if it is to recover. Society needs access to good
books again, not just comics. Society also needs the time to actually read the books and
think about what they read. Society currently spends all its time not only not reading,
but seeking thrills that leave out all room for thought. And lastly, society needs the
freedom to act on what it learned from reading and thinking about books. These are the
three things needed to help society become healthy again.
