Slowly here should mean not the speed of reading, a-la words oper second, but the checking/matching of every meaningful piece of information against your internal (trained) 'map of the universe'.
BTW, one could speed-read only texts on a familiar subjects, the way most of us read 90% of narcissistic nonsense here. On the contrary, those wery rare pieces of meaningful thought from self-made professionals (nothing in common with so-called and usually self-proclaimed 'experts') requires this slow reading of 'the deep structure' - reconstruction of author's model of the universe.
- nrao123 12y agoThis slow reading idea also jives with Alan Kay's observation of "Slow Deep Thinking" which allowed us to have massive & non-incremental leaps into the future. http://www.clarkaldrichdesigns.com/2009/05/alan-kay-and-human-universals-vs-non.html http://www.clarkaldrichdesigns.com/2009/05/alan-kay-and-huma...

- netcan 12y agoSeems like a fairly good case for speed reading.
- gglitch 12y agoI have both of those problems too. I find it an effective remedy to use a pencil to asterisk thought-provoking passages in the margin. It helps me focus on each sentence as potentially noteworthy, but when I note one, it also helps me let it go and move on from there. --EDIT: Accidentally replied to the wrong comment. Apparently I should be reading more slowly.
