    See, I feel like ‘can read a book every month or so’ isn’t all that much.

    Can’t read a book if you’re wasting all your time online reading posts.

    you don’t understand that simple idea despite reading it

    What if simple ideas aren’t the best way to view the world? What if you need to understand complex ideas?

    But how do you convey complex ideas to a large audience efficiently? Do you drown them in walls of text? Or do you break down the complex ideas into shorter, discrete components?

    Think about it this way. Do you read a book all at once, cover to cover, in one sitting? Or do you tackle it by paragraphs and chapters, bit by bit, over an extended period of time?
