This may not seem like a conspiracy, but given the dumbing down of humanity with TV, fluoride, etc., it hardly seems like an accident. I don’t think the elites are educating their children like they educate everyone else's.
Like many people I’ve looked into speed reading and other such issues. I feel like we could do much better than what most of us think, but the information seems muddled. I’ve been looking at “Breakthrough Rapid Reading”, but that type of “too good to be true” sys has disappointed many in the past. I like “How to Read a Book” by Mortimer Adler, but it’s a grind to do what he says. Maybe that’s just how it is.
Anyone have any remarkable success with speed learning?
Speed reading or ‘learning’? Real speed reading will teach that there is no speed learning. Speed reading is tested with light fiction and even trained reading speed retention goes way down and fast with a textbook.
In college I read at a slow page flip. My IQ is 160 and ASVAB General Classification is 74.
My career was nuclear engineering.
Inspiration over information. Nature offers inspiration to our perception, our free will of choice to adhere to it, "transmutes" this inspiration into comprehended information.
The few books represent the focus on inspiration for self; instead of the temptation of claiming information from many books. I often bring up the example of making a list about things to do with a stone, to learn for self how one can endlessly channel inspiration out of one object, which represents ALL information being accessible through each ONE within.
Implication (if/then) over reason (truth vs false), in combination with the aforementioned inspiration over information is what defangs all offered literature, because it prevents the main trap...suggestion aka the contract of belief. What remains is the second biggest threat...consenting to fiction; while ignoring reality.
The new year just started; the family is growing; and the soil is waiting to be toiled. I'm busy as usual. Thanks for the inspiration.
Learning. Reading is a means to an end. Sometimes I wonder if the whole system is dumb. Our Latin alphabet is OK for certain things, but a pictographic system could potentially be more information dense. Is it better to just listen to audio books? Or watch videos? Is reading just an inefficient way of gathering information.
In my work I ‘read’ calculus almost as easily as I read my operating procedures. Tell me, zoomer, what is your profession?
Life equals the balance in motion from inception towards death, so the end is predefined, which puts the value on the sustenance of life, which when adhered to establishes life access to the benefits ALL nature has to offer.
That's a deception. Nature offers inspiration to our senses, which adherence to nature by our free will of choice "transmutes" inspiration into comprehend information within ONEself.
Our parasites are the ones corrupting this process by using history; education, science etc. to offer us endless information, to prevent us from comprehending by inspiration. Comprehension represents ONEs potential within ALL potentiality offered, which is what they suppress by using suggestion (believing information) to get us to consent to ignore adherence to inspiration.
Old ones are rule followers conservative authoritarians. Zoomers are just zoomers.
IQ 160. So you're the smartest slave in the prison.
I can speed read if I know all the words. If I have to go and look shit up, then it's extremely hard to do.
The best tip for speed reading I ever had was to not repeat the words in your mind (inner dialogue). It's pretty hard to do, you have to train yourself unless you're one of those people that has no real monologue, in which case I never thought about their reading speed. Just kind of look at the words but not repeat them. Not everyone is capable of this and actually holding the info.
I'm a bit out of practice speed reading nowadays and find myself falling back to the inner monologue more often than not.
I’ve read that this is a trade-off. You can go faster, but at the cost of comprehension.
“Two experiments demonstrated that subvocalization is of value in reading for certain types of meaning. Blocking subvocalization by requiring subjects to count or say “cola-colacola …” aloud impaired their reading comprehension but generally not their listening comprehension. The effect of blocking subvocalization was found to be specific to tests that required integration of concepts within or across sentences, as contrasted with tests that required only memory of individual word concepts. Two hypotheses were offered: first, that subvocalization results in a more durable memory representation needed for integration of concepts; and second, that subvocalization enables a prosodic restructuring that makes information needed for sentence comprehension accessible.”

This is why I wonder if the format is just limited. I want to hack the system, but maybe reading a linear alphabet is going to inherently limit learning speed. But does it do so more than other formats, like video or audio?
Speed of learning is interesting. I was recently made to take AWS courses and I had the opportunity to put the videos at double speed, I wonder how much I would have lost if I hadn't already known most of the info. (we had to watch all the videos, was on an online site and they could check)
