- thfuran 4y agoBut staying focused for a few minutes isn't.
- akiselev 4y agoHe phrased it "Can't do X, let alone Y or Z" where Y > X > Z. Reading a book (Y) takes longer than watching a 90 minute movie (X) which takes longer than staying "focused on one thing for more than a few minutes" (Z). It should be Y > X and Z > X
- usui 4y agoThank you very much for this! I was reading the original comment and I was actually confused on the correct syntactical order of this phrase. For years I struggled in the back of my mind for how to parse this phrase, now I get it.
