Right now I am studying and practicing his techniques. The speed reading book. "Gaining control over your eye movement", page 43. Thank you Tony Buzan. So far, That is the only way to technically continue living years after someones death. Lots of love.
People can read faster but not in the ways people usually explain it. When we read, there are two key sequential steps, you see the words and you extract meaning. The way speed reading is usually explained is that we should stop subvocalizing and somehow not look at individual words but focus at many words at once (which is kind of BS). To practically read faster, we need to scan the text in chunks (still looking at each word in turn but faster) and defer parsing after a certain chunk size depending on how much our active memory can handle and how much prior knowledge we have with the subject at hand. With a lot of prior knowledge, we can easily scan full paragraphs at once and parse them. With little prior experience, we have to scan smaller chunks (like sentences or phrases) before parsing. The slowest way to read is to try to parse after every word. So there is some room for improvement, but yeah speed reading like a bot is total BS.

@@pajun1078 I like your comment, it's clarifying.
This is why YT exists...to provide us with these insights.!
