JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon says young people should spend less time on social-media platforms and more time reading books.

Dimon was speaking at the Georgetown Psaros Center for Financial Markets and Policy’s annual Financial Markets Quality Conference when he was asked whether he had any advice for the students there.

“For most of you guys, turn off TikTok, Facebook. A total stupid waste of time,” Dimon said.

Reading widely and consuming history books, Dimon said, would be a far better use of their time.

“My advice to students: Learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn. If you’re Democrat, read the Republican opinion, the good ones. If you’re Republican, read the Democrat ones,” Dimon said earlier in his response.

“Read history books. You can’t make it up. Nelson Mandela, Abe Lincoln, Sam Walton. You only learn by reading and talking to other people. There’s no other way,” he added.
