When reading a lot of those articles and papers you learn how to skim faster and more precise. For example the authors message is often found in the end. You learn when passages of text start where a lot of fancy words are used to tell a story and vivid images, these can be skipped through faster when looking for concepts and ideas. But can be important to put together the collected pieces (concepts,ideas) and give it a context. I sometimes think a kind of text structure "syntax highlighter" would be interesting to learn to spot the structure. The comments on-page and on hackernews are also part of the article for me and often the most interesting things can be found there. When you learn something new your brain tries to connect it to your world view/model, like a puzzle piece. Over time you put more and more pieces you have more and more docking points and so it gets easier with time to take in something new. Because you can easier relate it something you already know. But so does increase the things you could learn, yet you only have limited time. Yea that is kinda annoying, I also wish I would have the time to learn and master it all. But there is only so much time and an infinite sea of things to explore.. But hey, it is fun while it lasts so why worry? Just continue with the quest for knowledge and understanding and have fun while doing it!
