    Speed reading is like speed typing or speed talking. It limits you only up to the point were your comprehention/generation speed walls you.
    Technically the solution to hit your comprehention/generation limit as easily as possible with the least downsides is to write in dense ways, or read dense things.
    Dense in the sense that there is very little fluff.
    For example languages that are litterally shorter yet convey the same meaning. English is one of the best for this.
    Another example is there are programing languages that have purposely created "grammer" that is very dense with information.
    And for writing you can develop an ideolect with words or symbols that you yourself define as meaning certain common things. This is why terminology specific to types of things gets created. Like engineering specific slang, or gamer specific slang. These are words created to "densify" meaning. And you can do so yourself with your own writing and speech and its called your "ideolect".
    For reading you can look for dense technical summaries of books. Or look for books were in the preview you can see the writer writes with dense wording.
    All these examples allow for your comprehention/generation speed to be the limiter.
    And as for speeding that up it isnt so simple. Its mostly a matter of familizing yourself with more abstractions... since your base speed is in many ways fixed and the abstractions you are familiar with are the tools that multiply your base speed. Creating a good ideolect or learning new actually useful words is good (so not learning "portcullus" instead of "castle gate" since you will have to put an insane amount of effort to make portcullus easier for your mind to work with than castle gate... and even then if that effort went into castle gate you would be faster at comprehending things that involved castles or gates that werent castle gate, vs portcullus which is very neiche).
    Learning fallacies and common statistical techniciques are more examples of abstraction tools you can familiarize yourself with to increase the multiplier to your mind's base speed.

    Well I guess I will give it a try. Right now my comfortable reading speed is 0 words per minut. If I could get that op to 300 words per minut that would make a huge change.
    As it is now I always go for 100% comprehension, cause I am not going to read the same book two time.

  • @xtieburn
    @xtieburn Před 7 měsíci +5

    I remember looking in to the actual research about this a while back and the science seemed fairly clear: Theres no such thing as speed reading...Okay, Ill clarify that a bit.
    If you are unpracticed at reading then you will speed up as you get more comfortable, much of that is what you see in this video. In the long term you will see modest improvements as you learn a greater vocabulary and a bunch of language structure etc, but once youve found your level there is no evidence that any individual can utilise any trick or technique that will _dramatically_ increase their pace while still retaining anywhere near a complete understanding of the text.
    Carroll could test this more thoroughly himself,
    -Give it a few months of regular reading then do your test on speed and comprehension. That is your baseline.
    -Try on all these tricks and such that supposedly dramatically improve the pace.
    -Repeat the test to see if you can obtain a higher speed with the same level of comprehension.
    Perhaps he will be an outlier but the science suggests he will see little improvement.
    A more realistic skill is to learn how to skim through texts, locate relevant words, headings, etc, and focus down information. This can give the impression of speed reading, but is no such thing, you are just rapidly finding the relevant sections you will then read at a more or less typical speed before piecing it all together. These kinds of methods of using the trade offs between speed and comprehension have a lot of practical usage, but as far as all the evidence is concerned you will never achieve both.
    That all said, reading is good for the brain, just committing to a minimum of a chapter or 10,20 pages a day can help. Youd be surprised at how many books you start to consume with a steady bog standard pace. (It personally also helped a great deal getting an e-reader as all the books are right there. No need to buy them in, look through my shelves etc, my entire library is right in my hand, just pick and go. Not to mention you have instant access to thousands of classics in the public domain.)

    Bonus bonus tip: Stop narrating every single word in your head. It's a bad reading habit.
    Your brain can process words and their meaning ridiculously fast. But it slows down to match the speed of the voice in your head.
    You are no longer in kindergarden. You don't actually need to talk to understand what you are reading.

  • @Creative___Mind
    @Creative___Mind Před 7 měsíci +5

    Interesting...
    I used to have a 600 wpm in 2020. Then I deliberately started reading slower to better savour my books since I was going through them too quickly. No joke, I once completed a 500 page book in just under 2 hours.
    Recently I rechecked my speed after nearly 2.5 years and it has fallen to around 500 words.
    So... not bad but room for improvement. 1000 wpm is the ultimate dream.
    Also, is it just me or does everyone read slower on a screen than an actual physical book?

    • @mortoopz
      @mortoopz Před 7 měsíci

      Most people do indeed read slower on screen, but that's because they're trying to replicate paper (black text on white) medium/light grey text on black is MUCH easier and faster to read..... not white text though (unless your screen isn't very bright) as that just causes eye strain.
