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.
Functionally illiterate moron insists he’s “Too smart to read.”
Functionally illiterate moron, sex trafficker and rapist insists he’s “Too smart to read.”
Good catch.
Is there any proof that he can read?
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.
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

Another review of the source material for good measure: https://www.crossrivertherapy.com/research/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.
Stop make stupid people famous. Negative attention is also attention.
Agreed. I will never understand how these people got famous. I do understand that they are manipulative and all that, but still… For manipulative people to be successful, one needs to be manipulated. I think this says more about the manipulated (and society overall) than it does about these manipulative, stupid, pieces of shit.
We will always have unscrupulous pieces of shit. The fact that society is choosing to make these people famous, and “powerful”, is dystopian. Absolutely pathetic.
Who’s more foolish? The fool, or the fool that follows him?
Kinda wish we didn’t have to ponder this specific question.
You can report on the damage a trash person does without writing “trash person says…”. At some point, “X says Y” became a news trope and its godawefull.
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.
Ahahahahahahaha!
ME AM SMART, NO NEED READ! READ AM FOR BETA MALE!
One upvote only can make. Want make two.
YOU AM ALFA FOR TRY
Who cares
I feel so bad for the Onion
That shithead rapist doesnt deserve the time of day
That’s a strange way to confess to being illiterate.
Sounds like my manager who legit uses openAI as a fucking search engine.
Make friends with your IT guy, devise a plan to block the correct web domains for the 2 hours ahead of any company meeting to let that problem sort itself out.
Dear Andrew. You need to fill your head with stuff cause you’re unable to sit in the silence of your own mind since it’s shouting what an utter failure you are at being a decent person. You’ve hurt so many people, and deep down you know that ain’t right. It’s called cognitive dissonance. I want to hope you can become a whole person someday, but frankly you don’t deserve that. Honestly I can’t see you as anything other than a drain on society.
I need action. I need constant chaos in my life to feel content.
This is the sound of deep, deep, profound, deep insecurity chasing a man down a never-ending alleyway peppered with neon signs that say “Unattractive to Women?”, “Easily Bullied By Other Men?”, “GAY???”
I hope he does serious prison time for his crimes, because it will be extra enjoyable knowing that it’s literally the worst place he could ever find himself. No escaping one’s own mind in that place.
Yeah, that quoted statement definitly sounds like a massive cope for a profound feeling of emptiness and/or inedequacy.
Why are we paying attention to this clown, again?
Because he keeps being enough of an embarrassing idiot in public to write roast articles about that can attract people’s attention, I guess
