Is speed reading a hoax?

anyone can speed read if you're not looking to gain any depth of knowledge but you're not getting the full experience of the text

>>8271248
you can try it anytime. There are plenty browser-addons out there.

I've found it works for non-fiction, especially non-fiction by journalists or scientists with absolutely no sense of aesthetic prose.

Speed reading good prose is equal to speed eating a great meal or speed fucking someone you love, or speed walking through the Louvre.

do you listen to your music at 3x the speed?

then why read prose that fast

Fucking this. 100x this.

I'm also impressed by the general response in this thread.

And yeah, the irony of speed reading is that you waste your time a little bit faster than everyone else.
