Speed Reading

Good for textbooks but not good for literature

Why?

Speed reading doesn't allow you the mental space to actively engage with the deep patterns, ideas, and aesthetic features of literature. I'm not that anon and I don't think it's any good for textbooks either, at least not ones in any subject involving critical thinking or complex systems. The only time speed reading is useful is when the content of what you're reading is incredibly simple - too simple to waste your time reading in the first place, if you don't have to for some external reason.

It works as a tool for initially getting familiar with a book(format,syntax,structure) but most people will never reach the point of comprehension/understanding of a book using speed reading

Isn't that what Tai Lopez does?

I took a speed-reading course and read War and Peace in twenty minutes. It involves Russia.

like eating via a tube

I don't think he does anything, except stand in front of a Lamborghini rambling about "self-actualization"

Who or what the fuck is Tai Lopez?? Sounds like a fucking fusion restaurant in Kalifornia.
