does speed reading *actually* work?

I’ve tried it in earnest a handful of times and either my cpu isn’t powerful enough or I’m doing it wrong.

seems ripe for psyop with its claim to superhuman benefit and ability to always say “you just need to practice more” etc.

but, is it real?

I mess up from time to time but taking the max amount of credits I could for half of college got me pretty good at speed reading/watching content

don't take my casts super seriously please (most of them at least)

Its definitely the latter

if I need to deeply understand something Ill look at multiple sources for it

for recall: my brain is good when I do the thing myself or apply it in some way

ex. I follow someone on warpcast after meeting them
another ex: i build something in a framework I want to learn

etc

Are you reading fast or just skimming and looking for important points?

I find the bottle neck is understanding and recall for me.
