“how many people in here hear voices in their head… *awkward moment*.. when they read?”
hah
@system0system0 we all do
Think of the analogy he uses about peripheral vision when walking down the street. Sure we’re using it, and we notice people and things but how well can you remember all the faces and details?
SpankBank is correct, I can read much faster using speed reading techniques but it comes at the expense of comprehension and on anything college level usually results in having to re-read the material to get what was missed the first time.
My primary contention with Speed Reading is some words have more than one definition. While reading simple sentences and paragraphs as a whole may not be difficult to comprehend. If you were to Speed Read through technical information, you may not be able discern sentences without associating it with a certain connotation.
This is essentially the reason why reading slower is preferred when an individual is attempting to explicate words in their appropriate context.
i wanna improve myself
the alternative to reading word for word is browsing…BUT you can never browse through the constitution unless you want to and then you undersand squat
If you really want to learn to read a page a second send me an email money transfer for 5 Canadian Dollars and I’ll email you a 12 page document on techniques to learn how to do this. Be sure to include your email address in the messages section of the email money transfer and send your email to: idealogicalcomplex (a)(t) yahoo (dot) ca
oh that makes sense
I mean what I just said.
you mean if i ‘don’t’ sacrifice comprehension?
i just finished up my pre-engineering associates and I can tell you if you sacrifice comprehension you will be doing a lot of re-reading.
if i lost 1% but could read a book 40 times faster. then thats okay for me personly
i wouldn’t sacrifice comprehension for anything
Thank you for considering my suggestion. Hope you’ll succeed in doing it!
Best regards, Samuel
oh wow I hadn’t thought of that. that’s a really good suggestion

Subvocal is fine if you want to enjoy poems and so on. The subvocal barrier is around 900 words, and yes, you can read 800/900 wpm with subvocal and full comprehension
Hmm, well, I read a little bit faster when not speaking.
