Kill yourself and then we'll talk.

you use your eyes to look at the words

imagine if someone went on /tv/ and said "how do I watch film? how do I approach a movie? a tv show? etc."

I wonder how many people have masturbated to Gerome paintings in the last +100 years?

I think that would be a reasonable question. You could get into discussions about what makes cinematography good, what to look out for (camera movement, lighting, themes), what a good general mindset to have going into a film was, whether it is more important to focus on plot, themes, technical work, etc.

I think there are probably more effective ways to approach reading that would mine out more value than others. I just don't really know what they are.

How do I read fast?
