What was bro reading
>>
An art book.
>>
>>25260958
My average reading experience. I zone out halfway through every sentence.
>>
>textbook
memorizing
>philosophical work
thinking
>fiction
zoned out due to disinterest
>>
>>25260958
That's about how long it took me to get through two pages of Proteus

Kant or Hegel

>>25260958
Any book. He wasn't readying, he was trying to be seen reading. At best every 2-3 minutes he would try to actually read from the top of the page but his narcissistic ego would have him constantly glance about to see if anyone is watching, if anyone is seeing him, if anyone is impressed by him. Each time he did so, he'd forget where he left off. And on the rare occasion he wouldn't forget ("Third row, third row, third row"), he still would have to start over because he was merely looking at the book, moving his eyes from left to right at a slow pace. The words didn't exist.

This is so much extrapolation based on nothing. The most likely explanation is that he just zoned out.
You guys are so fucking insane and worried about people "performing." Just shut the fuck up and worry about yourself.
>>
>>25261086
That sounds like an excruciating way of spending 20+ minutes

>>25260958
Critic of pure reason by kant

>>25261299
You misunderstand. Kant IS the critic of pure reason

>>25260980
that's not good

When you meditate, you have to sit cross-legged, making the okay sign with both hands, have your eyes closed, and say ohmmm loudly and repeatedly
Hiding the fact by pretending to read a book is cowardice

He was trying to get laid
>>
Hegel
>>
>>25260958
probably performance but could be a new reader
I've had phases in my life where I haven't had time or energy to read and after returning to reading I've found myself easily getting distracted and spacing out, having to reread lines and passages to make sure I'm fully engaging with, parsing, and connecting the information

What are you talking about dumbfuck

literally me zoning out to another page of Proust talking about the habits of parisian homosexuals
>>
>>25260958
Somebody's never forgotten to take their ADHD meds in the morning, and spent 90 straight minutes attempting to read a single paragraph, while constantly zoning out, and forgetting where you are for 10-15 minutes at a time.

>>25260958
Me reading Burke's reflections.

>your brain is basically just a giant cantalope soaking in chemicals! That means I can sell you these extremely marked-up vitamins and minerals and convince you they will magically fix your concentration!
Microplastics, PFAs, fiber, it's all the same scam at base. Retards see this stuff on their google news feeds or on social media and fall for it hook line and sinker.
>>
>>25264011
>your brain is basically just a giant cantalope soaking in chemicals!
Yes.
>That means I can sell you these extremely marked-up vitamins and minerals
Those are acquired from food. Go drink some milk and eat some cashews to fix your magnesium-deficient brain full of demyelinated sheaths.
>>
>>25264019
>Yes.
No, this is not how the brain works. You think 'the brain needs chemicals to function and ingesting chemicals and vitamins changes how your brain works' means 'your brain is a cantaloupe soaking in chemicals and most psychological/cognitive issues in young people can be fixed by some diet/supplement hack.' It isn't true and you're a retard, you're also too retarded to follow the logic of this post. You're the kind of guy who spends 45$ a month on vitamins and rancid fish oil.

maybe newton.

>>25264032
How does the brain work? Something with phlogiston? Or is it the Black Bile?
>>
>>25264032
>No, this is not how the brain works.
Yes, it is in fact how the brain works. The brain is a physical object made of molecules. It needs the correct molecules to function.
>diet/supplement hack
Meeting your DVs isn't a "hack", you'd know this if you weren't suffering from cortical thinning due to dysregulated glutamate levels causing excitotoxicity.

which type of chemicals do I need to consume to discover the cure of cancer , without any much effort.

Americans see reading as so strange, that anyone doing it must be pretending.

Nah, just ADD. It has been a problem my entire life regardless of lifestyle.

personal incredulity is america's greatest pastime
