Regarding reading, there are two views: one thinks that books must not be read or memorized by rote, otherwise they will become nerds; the other is that it is better not to read than to become a nerd. The basis is this motto: If you read someone else's work, you are just interpreting the author's thoughts in your own mind.
It can be inferred that reading other people's books for a long time will make someone a nerd.
