I've also improve how I link my notes a little by seamlessly tying them as I would construct a sentence.

The act of reading faster than the average speed.
|
|
One of the common methods in shutting off your inner reading voice and replacing it with visualizing words as you read along.
|
|
|

To understand why the surrounding skepticism, we have to look at the claims especially with anything that involves more than 1,000 words per minute (WPM) of reading speed.
|
|
Knowing [[file:2021-05-02-23-05-42.org][The basics of memory]], this is neurologically unlikely as learning takes time.
|
|
Speedreading is also physically impossible as reading is a complex process.
|
|
It takes time to absorb even an inch of information compared to the very fast pace of merely reading the material at double the average speed of 300 WPM.
