How do you remember where you were at in a book if you haven't read it in a few days?
A bookmark…
>>25041610begone spook
>>25041606I highlight the part where I stopped. Usually I stop at a new chapter to make it even easier
Page numbers get decomposed into prime number factors, which each prime number has a special character attached to it and his exponents get paired on a trait with winnie the pooh characters (soul stones) up to ten powers, that is my mental bookmark. For example the last book I'm reading is on page 378 = 2 * 3^3 * 7 which is Kirk (relaxing), Spock being hyperactive (Tigger; soul stone methamphetamine), and Jesus Christ (relaxing). I picture them having a dialog about a nice shawl, which was where the book left off giving a character a shawl.
I randomly flip it open:Did I read this part?>NoFlip back a chunk>YesFlip forward a chunk
>>25041645How do you remember what parts you have read already?
>>25041668I have a working brain
>>25041673I understand. But why do you memorize whole passages of text instead of just remembering the page number?
>>25041679No, you're looking at it wrong. It's not that I memorize the text instead of the number to know where I was, but that I don't need the extra step of remembering the number.
>>25041688I am just trying to understand because it seems strange to me. If you don't memorize the text, how do you know that you have read it before? Also it seems like checking text against your memory(? not memory?) would be more costly in terms of effort than saving a 3 or at nost 4 digit number to memory.
>>25041716Forgetting everything you've read after a few days sounds like a serious medical condition, please see a doctor.
>>25041716i decompose the last line of text into its basis vectors in 2 dimensions, and then orient a paperweight on my desk to that angle from the wall. then i can just rebuild the line of text from this information
>>25041716Its not that big of an effort anon.
>>25041726So I take it that you commit the text to memory in parts then? Would that be accurate to say? How do you choose which parts to remember? Do you ever make a fumble?>>25041774I amjelly. How do you prevent the paperweight from getting knocked about? I have thought about installing a wider table in my room for vector imprints but unfortunately it woul get moved by water and falling minerals im sad.
i tear out every page ive read because I've already absorbed that knowledge.
>>25041817it's too heavy for anybody but me to move
>>25041833>he doesn't eat it for better absorptionpleb
>>25041716Can you rotate an apple in your brain?How I remember things in a book is like how I remember events in my past.
Good thread. High-effort.
>>25041606A book dart.
>>25041606little fold at the bottom of the page (and next five pages, so the book falls open right where I left off)
>>25041606bookmark
>>25041833lololol what a king
I use a Notebook to write a little note to myself about page number and other little tidbits to help me remember. Simple and has never failed me.
