Comments
There is some research pointing to extreme reading being a trauma response in some cases. In the main part of the episode, you pointed to that by way of explaining that it could have been an escape, which I think is accurate in some of those cases. Could he have still been an extreme reader even with friends and without a home life? Sure, some people just like reading, but I think more weight was placed on its importance because of his circumstances.

2024-09-27 16:04:09 +0000 UTCThis is a fascinating deep dive, Dr. Honda and Humberto! I didn’t know much about Elon Musk other than what you see online/in the news, but listening to this I can actually relate a fair bit to his childhood it seems (aside from the being rich part, haha)
