I think that more or less relates to FOMO (fear of missing out). Some really scare to slowly digest something because he thinks he would miss the vast information out there that keeps churning indefinitely.
Look into attention span and the average time spent on web pages now that Facebook exists, it's crazy...
I've noticed it happening to myself. As I get older and older, I find it more and more difficult to focus on reading. Used to read all the time as a kid, but now in my 30s, I can barely finish a chapter, let alone an entire book. Having ADHD doesn't help, either.
I blame excessive internet use. Why invest in anything longer than a few seconds when there's just so much more content out there that's waiting to be seen?
I... don't follow.
What the fuck... I just commented on another post where I was failing to read a sentence. This was literally the next post I saw.

Rampant untreated adult-onset ADHD
I think many people can show similar symptoms as in ADHD because of our current lifestyle.
More and more people have short attention spans, trouble concentrating, trouble directing their focus, procrastination, etc. because our brains aren't made for how we currently live.

The world and people have always sucked and been shit. It was never better. It'll never be better. From the moment I understood the weakness of flesh it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of AI doing all my thinking for me. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your fleshy memories of better times as if they are not decaying and failing you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved for the techbro grift is immortal.
This is a beautiful comment, thank you for sharing it, and itβs a tragedy that youβre downvoted. The irony, that in a thread about reading comprehension where people are falling over themselves to talk about how bad other people are for not properly reading text, they jump eagerly into the exact same box.
It's like 100 years ago if you could quote the Aristotelian whatever's you'd get pussy like mad. I have a hypothesis that meme literature will be the same in another 100.

In what sense, in what context?
