Maybe you decide not to care about starting at the same level. That’s usually an easy fix. The strategy game Go, for example, gives weaker players extra stones on the board to start, allowing both players to try their hardest and feel like they have a chance of winning.
- ggm 7y agoBefore posting I tried word search in my tablet browser and missed it. I guess in the game of criticism I just.. lost.
- fredoliveira 7y agoBut why would you even try going for criticism of an article before even reading it?
- ggm 7y agoI speed read. I didn't see go. I went word search for go, didn't find it. But, a fair comment. Critique demands care.
- sethammons 7y agoIs speed reading just skimming?
- munmaek 7y agoSpeedreading is something used by delusional people who think that reading is just inputting words as fast as possible. Slowreading (taking your time to fully understand and reflect on what you read) needs to become a thing. But that isn't as ~distinguished~ as saying "I can read at X words/min" or "I read Y novels/year". Skimming is useful, because you don't necessarily want to read an entire page if you're looking for one thing. Wikipedia pages are an example of where you might want to skim until you find the relevant section you're looking for. In fact I skim many articles on HN to decide if they're worth reading or not. If they are, then I go back and slowread the entire thing before making a comment.
- ggm 7y agoI originally wrote skim. I changed it to speed. I therefore lost again since speed reading is less worthy than skimming which is less worthy than slow reading. But, I am winning at losing. Nobody can take that away from me.
