I agree with everything except reading the news. Reading news is bad for your health.

I see many more cases to not play go.
For a few examples:
Don’t play go if
Your internet connection is bad. You are at risk to become an escaper.
The local go club is not satisfying. Too much smoke and beer. Or too less.
You are a professional artist (music, dance, etc… ) You won’t have enough time.
You don’t like the idea to share your experience. Especially with women. Well sorry but we want more of them.
You are egocentric which lead to 2 cases
-you are proud of your reading power. Well you’ll need some intuition, you won’t calculate every branches.
-Ok you feel so good on your direction of play. Sorry not reading will drive you to some catastrophe.
Proudness will frustrate you and push you away from the game.

Don’t play go if losing makes you really angry.
Don’t play go if you want to “win” the review.
Don’t play go in a club if you don’t want to teach beginners.
