>>20414176
Yes, I am. But I actually really like the bionic reading idea. I hope it gains traction and support with e-readers.

>>20414176
Well i mean that is easier to read fast

>>20414176
This is retarded
Just teach people things instead of dumbing it down for them, you get a dumber population if you accommodate to every made up pile of shit the medical industry pumps out
Teach them how to read normally, train them on it. It's that fucking simple. Using a highlighter on every piece of text is not only inefficient but retarded.

>>20414176
This isn’t a bad idea. I’m not an autist but I actually read through the one on the left with more ease and thoroughness than the one on the right, which I sort of just skimmed

>>20414181
holy shit did i sound like this during my chud period? why are you afraid of the future, boy?

Wtf bros I found the left one very easy to read fast
Does that make an autist or what?

>>20414176
yes, I am the autist κατ' εξοχήν

Left is easier to speed read

Silly made up term.
The future can be good, yes, but not all innovations are practical ones.. to put it in simple terms, sometimes a bit of extra learning is more beneficial than handholding.
>>20414248
No, not really actually. I'm not perfect myself but I know that learning has a much better effect on people who deal with various mental disorders or problems than handholding. Having a good teacher is always far more beneficial than relying on an easy way out.

>>20414202
Actually the right is easier to speed read. Text on the left keeps making my eye jump back to focus on the bolded text, causing me to slow down.

>>20414290
>I know that learning has a much better effect on people who deal with various mental disorders or problems than handholding
Is it handholding for a paraplegic to use a wheelchair? Or is it a tool that's actually just really fucking helpful?

>>20414268
It's not for spergs it's for "ADD" or "ADHD" people.
Note, ADD and ADHD are made-up to sell pills, sedate children, and convince lazy, stupid people that they are in fact genuises.

>>20414181
Man, you're right! Making accommodations for people is pussy shit. They should stop making hearing aids, too. They should just learn to lip-read, like deaf people used to! And prosthetic legs! That's just big-medical bullshit; there's nothing wrong with peg-legs!

Fucking dumbass.

>>20414383
ADHD is not real.

I read them at the same speed or maybe the right one a bit faster. On the right I can look at the shape of the whole word at once, while the left I have to look at the bold part and then the rest, causing 2 micro eye movements per word instead of 1

>>20414368
>t. "Trust me, bro"

ADD was created because ADD people don't have the attention to write the extra letter In ADHD.

>>20414428
I dont even know what those funny acronyms stand for

>>20414383
ADD and ADHD are not real. Just like how depression and addiction are not real. They're just excuses for weak people to claim they are actually strong.

They'll create AD for you soon, don't worry.

Bullshit medical fads don't change the fact that they exist. Here, let me tell you what my favorite ADHD memory is: When I was still in school, I used to sit in front of my homework and cry, because I wanted to do it, but no matter what I did, I just couldn't focus. You can't even imagine what kind of frustration and despair that is. It's shame and embarrassment. Forgetting things, struggling with stuff that everyone around you thinks is simple. On really bad days, I can barely hold a coherent conversation, because I keep losing my train of thought.

Then, I have to listen to drooling shitposters on 4chan try to tell me it's all fake. Anyway, eat shit, don't @ me.

>>20414193
>chud
Go back to wherever you crawled out of.

>>20414479
^^^ chud alert ^^*

>>20414472
Stop using a bullshit "illness" as an excuse for your laziness and stupidity. Man up and better yourself instead of using your "illness" as an excuse. Lazy fuck. You're the type of retard who says deadlines make me stress and then I can't do the work! So don't give me a deadline and then I'll do the work at my own pace! Then when you're "accommodated" in this way you still don't do the work in a timely fashion nor up to the level of standards. Then when confronted with this you cry "BUT I AM ADHD I CANT HELP IT YOU CANT EXPECT ANYTHING FROM ME I AM ADHD STOP DISCRIMINATING AGAINST ME JUST LET ME BE STUPID AND LAZY YOU HAVE TO BECAUSE I AM ADHD AND I CANT DO ANY BETTER BECAUSE I AM ADHD ADHD ADHD ADHD"

Shut the fuck up. Get some work ethic or realize you're not smart like you pretend you are.

>You can't even imagine what kind of frustration and despair that is. It's shame and embarrassment.
i was like you. it wasnt frustrating at all. you are just overinflating and corrrelating your personal feelings with a form of thought. you want to be like everybody else so you frustrate yourself because of that.

>>20414176
Umm bros am I really neurally divergent if I can read left way faster and easier?

>>20414519
either we're subhuman and need help or we don't need help and we aren't subhuman. you can't have it both ways.

>>20414530
Nope. You are subhuman and do not deserve help with your fake mental illnesses. Law school has redpilled me on disability accommodations. Every single mediocre foid has a disability accommodation that gives them 1-2 weeks to take a four hour exam.

Left is slower because it makes me read every word. Right is faster but I skip some words.

>>20414508
>Man up and better yourself instead of using your "illness" as an excuse
Ah, to be young again. I remember when I was this precise brand of stupid. I knew in the back of my mind that the world was so overwhelmingly complex that I could never hope to comprehend it in its entirety. Naturally, for someone like me, that was terrifying. At a certain point, you kind of just wake up from adolescence to a world that's a teeming and seething maelstrom with an autonomy to it that's so incredibly intimidating. It was my solution as well to convince myself that Complex Thing was actually just Simple Thing. Fabricate some flimsy beliefs, such that I can logically retreat to dumb generalizations:
>mental illness is just an excuse for laziness
>women are all whores
>the image is the reality
>the jews did it
But as you get older, the world doesn't seem so frightening anymore. It only keeps getting more and more complex, the more you learn about it, but you make your peace with it. The idea that maybe some people with mental illness aren't actually lazy becomes more acceptable, because you start learning that these adolescent dichotomies in which everything is all black or all white, well, they really just don't correspond with reality. You'll gather the evidence eventually, fren. It just takes time.

>>20414472
Sounds like you're just stupid. You can take amphetamine if you want; I'm sure it does actually improve something for you, because it works for me, too, and there's nothing wrong with me. But don't pretend it's medicine for a real disorder. It's a crutch for you to not have to develop the discipline to focus on things.

>>20414538
You will live in a pod, eat bugs, own nothing and be happy if you keep shilling for your stupid flyover state evangelical protestant work ethic.

>>20414544
Yeah discipline and hard work will make shekelberg and blackrock richer but it won't help me.
Things should be easier for me, I don't give a shit about you and your shitty ideology about artificial difficulty

>>20414555
>lambasts shekelberg and blackrock
>doesn't realize his little pretend disability safespace was advocated and supported by those very people
Truly a retard.

>>20414530
Why should we help subhumans? Seems me logical that we should let them die out and let them fail so they know their place.

>>20414555
>Things should be easier for me
No.

>>20414542
Except these people are lazy and stupid, because when you "accommodate" them for their "disability" they still produce the same calibre of work and sometimes worse compared to their work without "accommodations".

>>20414176

>>20414647

>>20414680
>natural selection is edgy

>>20414176
The bold is distracting, especially considering that bold is normally used for emphasis. It's like being around a weirdo who says half of each word louder.

>>20414555
>Things should be easier for me
A here is the MO said right out loud. You said it yourself, you don't want to work hard or think or do anything that requires any effort your whole life. These so-called illnesses are just the way massive senses of entitlement manifest. I bet you were one of those screaming about how everybody else should accommodate you by wearing masks, too. You think the entire world should revolve around you, and that you're special.

>>20414199
It was easier to read fast, but it is aesthetically displeasing

>>20414661
Technically they are still producing shittier work, considering that when they perform the same level of work WITH an accommodation as a normal person would, that work would be far shittier without said accommodation. So they still suck and the accommodation is a bandaid to give the receiver false positive beliefs that they aren't total lovers.

>>20414176
I don't have adhd but think this is a cool idea, it lets you read a lot quicker, not sure why people are so angry over it.

>>20414181
>fuck printed shit, learn from words you hear idiot

>>20414176
Is this the literature version of when a game shoves objectives into players face and gives him a pointer showing where to go?
I found right to be easier on the eyes.

>>20414181
In general I agree with the annoyance at the sheer babyfication of the entire planet where people will not be satisfied until we are just the humans from WALL-E, but this is one thing that is almost entirely optional and will likely not be picked up for a long time outside shit globohomo lit and actually can be helpful for those who would read a lot more if it were introduced.

>>20414769
No, just train them to read properly.

>>20414180
I find it harder. I can read the one on the right faster, even though it feels like I am on an ice rink if I get distracted.
The bionic reading just sounds cool, but is harder to read fast. It's just a method of forcing my brain to read it word by word.

>>20414176

>A new type of audiobook… where a pretty girl combs her hair while whispering the words….

>>20414176
Ah, So The Real Benefit Is These "Artificial Fixation Points", Not Necessarily Bolding. Instead, We Should Capitalize All Words To Aid The Reader, And In The Case Of Proper Nouns, Such As CHristopher POole, We Capitalize The First Two Letters.

There are a lot of 30+ year olds here who seethe when young people get cool stuff they didn't have,

>>20414176
I've heard that some people have difficulty reading the bionic version because they hyper-focus on the bold text trying to take meaning which slows them down, so maybe it isn't for everyone. For me though it is definitely a lot faster to read the bionic version, it would be nice to have a web extension version of this idea that would allow me to sift through shitty AI generated web articles that op up when you google a basic question.

>>20414926
There's an extension, I'm using it now and honestly it feels more distracting than anything, at least on here.
>shitty AI generated web articles
Those are written by pajeets for 2-5 dollars each.
Source: I've written many kek

Good idea but not every word needs to have its first half bolded. You really only need content words, all of the 2-3 character words being bolded is a waste.
This "Bionic reading" is kind of similar superficially to japanese orthography, the kanji stand out and the mostly grammatical kana trail after and are skimmed.

>>20414854
i didnt get the idea in the first few skims and my attention span deteriorated way too much to delve deeper so i cant really form thoughts on this sorry

>>20414176
The website for bionic reading doesn't even use its own typeface

>>20414955

You're right, none of this is important lmao

That's a pretty cool augmentation to the 'script' concept. I'd wager i read it 50% faster, meaning 50% higher information-to-brain bandwidth. Human ingenuity like this is really awesome. I imagine ancient egyptians inventing hieroglyphs felt similarly elated about their innovation. Whoever thought of this and saw its realization through, we need more people like them to make a better future

>>20414987
why is this a bad thing. you faggots would bitch about blackletter being phased out in favor of roman type, had you been around for it

>>20414176
I think I have ADHD and this is so much easier to read. Maybe it’s placebo but left is easy/enjoyable and by comparison I don’t even want to read the right

>>20414383

>>20414176
Damn, left is crazy easy to read with speed. May be interesting to further develop.

I am genuinely worried for all the people in this thread saying the left is easier to read. Sorry, but if you think the left is easier to read, books and reading aren't for you. Stick to video games and animes.

>>20414546
No, you'll do all those things out of desperation to avoid any contact with "stupid flyover state evangelical protestants". We have plenty of land, grow plenty of real food and are already happy through God's grace. None of that will change anytime soon, and you'll eat the bugs and live in a pod when we decide not to share any of it with you.

>>20415116
It's a buzzword to tell stupid people that they aren't stupid. They just think different.

>>20415124
To be fair, all this does is make the retards read every word. It does nothing to help with them actually focusing or being able to understand what they are reading. This is the equivalent of putting a big flashy neon sign pointing to every word.

>>20414906
Not him, but my issue with your argument is that antibiotics actually resolve an illness they are intended for, while amphetamines are not a cure for ADHD. They just cover up the symptom by making ADHDfags high (and research shows they love being high and doing other sorts of irresponsible shitfuckery). Please dont think Im telling you to kill yourself, you do with your life what you think is best, and if that means Vyvanse for breakfast then do it, but I do think that the entire ADHD+amphetamines thing is another bizarre clown-world charade.

>>20414181
The thing is that generally when you read your brain fills in words automatically anyways, so it usually ignores the las few lett of a wor anyw by itse if you'r alre readi fas or it will fll n lttrs tht are misng in th mddl. This bionic way is like a compromise. The full words are still there so it doesn't look megastupid like zoomer texts, but still let's your brain autocomplete what you read. It's pretty neat i think

>>20415252
this, i was prescribed adderral and would literally spend entire days masturbating. don't mess with druga guys

>>20414176
If you’re bad at speed reading it’ll help, but if you aren’t it’s actually a detriment since seasoned speedreaders do not stop on every word but just twice or thrice in the middle of a sentence and use their peripheral vision to fill it out.

>>20415203

>>20415225
Not at all, the difference is I don't seek attention for being weird or come up with labels to categorise myself so I feel like I have an identity. That is puerile.

>>20415343
Yes. Getting a PhD literally means nothing in regards to intelligence since you can get a PhD and never make a single meaningful contribution to your field. Getting a PhD just shows dedication, which even a dog can demonstrate...or a retard trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.

>>20415343
Do you think having a PhD is proof you're intelligent? All it proves is you have a good memory and can conform.

>>20414176
this doesn't help me read faster, in fact the opposite. normally i have the problem of skimming over words and blending them together but this bionic thing actually helps me focus on each word individually. that's nice as hell wtf.

>>20415354
Especially in art and pseudo-scientific fields like psychology. Wow you paid 250k$ and wasted nearly a decade of your prime years being a faggot? Sounds smart to me. I know mentally ill dykes with PhDs who are dumb as bricks.

Bros how do I reconcile the obvious and drastic increase in my focus, alertness, and general wellbeing while taking Adderall with the knowledge that I'm sinfully leaving the base state of nature and relying on drugs?

>>20414181
I've noticed I struggle to read large blocks of text and I think this would help me massively. I'm a few months away from obtaining a pharmacy degree in my second language, so I'm not a dumbass either. It would also help the letters stop flipping around mentally (I don't think I'm dyslexic but when I'm tired I do notice that some words get mixed up). It's of course dumb to you if you have never struggled but for someone like me it'd possibly be a huge help.

>>20414176
What the fuck, i can't read the left text, and i don't mean figuratively.
It's twice as hard for me to read the left one...

The real reason this bionic reading stuff works may have to do with attention oscillation that creates a nice rhythm that's less straining on the brain by splitting the load between the high-attention part and the low attention part. It's like watching paint dry if the drying paint was occasionally swapped out with a movie.

>>20415529

I find the bolded letters pretty easy to read quickly. I don't feel like I retain what I'm reading very well, but I can very quickly breeze through it compared to the right text.

>>20416005
It's opposite for me. In reality when I read I skip big chunks of a paragraph. The bold letters force me to slow down

>>20416010
>when I read I skip big chunks of a paragraph
That hardly seems like reading, more like skimming. I'm not talking about skimming, but actually reading and understanding every single word in the text. Retention is another matter.

>>20416005
Sorry to break it to you, but if you're skipping words you're not reading them.

>>20414542
Ah, to be a faggot again!
Long post full of projection. A mental illness can be real in a certain sense, and someone can be using it as an excuse to be lazy or to avoid taking responsibility. Someone might have trouble focusing, but then use the label of ADHD to justify doing nothing to try and better their problem. "I'm ADHD so I just can't focus. There's nothing to be done."

>>20417531
>incredible concentration of twitterfags ITT
Classes are out. Noticeable increase in traffic in the past 2 weeks.
/lit/ is full of underage zoomers...

This is slightly unrelated to the actual OP, but I think I might be on the autism scale. I can socialize perfectly normally if still a little on the quiet side, but my preference is basically for zero socialization. I can tolerate one on one social interaction, but any more people and I get uncomfortable and tired very quickly. When we had lockdowns I was the happiest I have ever been, I was able to just stay at home for months on end with almost no socializing and plenty of time to read. I live with my gf, but we sleep in separate rooms and spend most of our time separately. At what point does being in the like 99th percentile of introversion just become autism?

>>20418358
Great reply kind sir. One upboat for you.

>>20414176

>>20418804
The problem with diagnosing autism in adults is that the interest in the subject has both exploded and remained sidelined at the same time, so it's hard to get information as a layman without feeling the symptoms they describe might be a bit too ordinary to firmly say "yes, this is it".

Why are people complaining about this? This isn't even a short cut. It's just a new form of punctuation or typesetting. I swear, you faggots would have gotten assmad when fucking spaces were introduced.

You say it's projection as if that's some hidden truth that completely invalidates everything said. What you seem to think is a groundbreaking insight is actually kind of a "well, no shit" moment. Yes, I absolutely was projecting into that poster what is a pretty common experience for young people who try to think about and understand the world. The problem is that you do end up thinking you understand it. Nobody does. We all just come to terms with it in different ways.
>A mental illness can be real in a certain sense, and someone can be using it as an excuse
Yep. You understood the point. Some people will use excuses. An excuse can sometimes be valid, and sometimes a mental illness can actually be a good explanation for certain behavior. Sometimes there'll be a mix of excuses and genuine disability. Sometimes one or the other will be more prominent. It's a gray area. At this point, it seems like a silly point to drive home, but the existence of a very broad gray area excludes the possibility of the kind of all-or-nothing thinking which characterizes not an immature person but an immature thinker.

In my personal case, it doesn't interfere too much with my life, it's just that my preferences are very different from what most people's expectations are. This is why I tend to shy away from that label, because I know real autists who are literal spergs who can't even speak to other people and can't take care of themselves, so it seems almost comical to use the same label just because I have a strong aversion to certain situations.

>>20414176
I'm actually ADHD and that was like night and day, I know it's easy to make fun of people like me but if this become a widely adopted option it would unironically massively improve my life.

>>20418978
Go to the website and upload some text to experiment with it. I found the OP to be quite exciting because it felt much better, but when I put a whole book through the filter I just didn't feel the benefit in the same way.

>>20419561
Get a reading app that lets you mess with the font and spacing, you'll need to mess around a bit before its just right

>>20414181
>all those seething replies
Yep, another proof that this place abounds with ADHD porn-addicted retarded zoomers and cum-slurping r*dditors. Hirogook was a mistake

>>20419609
calm your tits

I seriously don't get why so many normies are seething. This is where you draw the line? Seriously? Get real dude.

>>20416801
This one doesn't help me

>>20414176
What the hell it works? Did I have the ADHD and autisms all along?

>>20417305
I think you might be if you don't get it, moron

>>20414176
I think you are

>>20414529
YES

>>20414913
I'm 50 & I'm definitely glad you get new stuff, kiddo. When u get new stuff, I get new stuff frfr no bussing

>>20415540
Reasonable assumption, I'd say

>>20415625
I read that easily but I can see why most ppl wouldn't

>>20414176
I don't know I'm "atypical" and I can normally speed read, the text on the left I can go so far beyond speed reading it's crazy I never thought I could inhale text this fast, it's honestly the best thing since the Carlogian script brought spaces, I'm sorry if it's not for you, your really gonna miss out if it takes off.

>>20416150
Lmao as a retarded redneck, it totally DOES. That's fucking hilarious

>>20420645
I hate it when that happens lol

>>20414510
he didn't @ you though

>>20414486
cringe (disagreeable)

>>20414176
This is a good idea. A lot of people who would enjoy reading dont because of adhd or linguistic difficulties

This is an abomination, a sickening technoperversion of the human experience of reading with leisure and thoughtfulness, turning it into another soulless act of efficiency and speed, and calling this "progress"

You'd finish a book if your mind wasnt so damnably broken.

>>20414176
Holy shit this is great. It reads so much easier.

>>20414181
If its faster then I can learn more

>>20419609
I was diagnosed with ADHD (along with every other relative I have) yet I'm able to read big boy books like Infinite Jest and Ulysses. Everyone who claims they can't read because of "muh ay dee ach dee" is a coper that should just pick up a book on how to cope with faggot brain instead of taking 50 mg of vyvanse everyday.

Since when does neurodivergent primarily refer to ADHD? It's almost entirely used to describe autism and aspergers

>>20422115
ADHD = not normal/retarded = neurodivergent.
Same with the other diseases you mentioned.

>>20420404
Do y'all say y'all

>>20414542
completely correct. you can ignore the seethers proving your point

>>20422057
Do you have autism too? You seem to lack theory of mind.

>>20414542
ladies and gentlemen, the most based man on /lit/

>>20422057
you don't have my brain and i don't have yours, we're all born different

>>20422368
ADHD is not a real disease though

>>20422563
>>20422572
t. daily meth users. Maybe use that medication to come up with an argument.

>>20422577
i opted out of taking meds because im paranoid of aging my brain prematurely. i don't even take my anti anxiety medication

>>20422577
My argument is sound, bud. You have the critical thinking skills of a small child. Maybe you could use some meth too.

>>20414176
This is basically how speed reading works

>>20422573
Of course it's not a disease you dumb fucking nigger.

>>20414199
>wheelchair ramps make travel easier for both pedestrians as well as cripples

>>20414454
I'll give your mom AD.

>>20414176
It's easier to read fast, but that seems like something you don't want. Ruin the entire rhythm of the text. May be useful for non-fiction.

>>20414176
lol what's even the point of this? All it does is distract my eyes and drive me crazy. It looks a page that got smudged because it got left out in the rain too long.

>>20414176
Apparently not. These shitty body positive thick boned letters halve my reading speed. It’s like I‘m jumping through hoops to read. Is this what being dyslexic feels like lol?

@20414510
lol kys fgt

While an interesting idea, I'd be concerned that this would have a net effect of decreasing attention spans even more if anything. Training the brain to only read the first few letters of a word and autofill the rest could also lead to a generation of people who routinely misinterpret shit because they are incapable of actually reading in depth.

>>20422409
Yes I do

>>20422755
Don't worry, in only a few decades reading will be obsolete and all books worth reading will be turned into TikTok videos. You vill read nothing and you vill be happy.

>>20414176
Damn i read that one very fast

>>20414508
>Man up
Classic feminist tagline. You don't see men going around and saying "pull yourself up by your big girl panties" now do you?
>>20414538
Well I mean being female is a disability if you think about it. Must be a bitch to lack basic logic.

>>20414542
I dunno as I got older the women thing is just getting confirmed harder

>>20414176
My friend had that dyslexic text on their e-reader. Does it help anyone here who has it? I'm curious whether these are just bandaid measures.

>>20414472
>what I did, I just couldn't focus
Wasn't a problem in society before computers, sugar cereals and drugs were commonly available. The medical industry doesn't try to fix the problem, they just block your ability to see the problem with drugs.

>>20414508
>So don't give me a deadline and then I'll do the work at my own pace! Then when you're "accommodated" in this way you still don't do the work in a timely fashion nor
Actually based. You made some others seethe but you are right. I'm tiring of hand holding people who are supposed to be adults. This is entirely a decadent society thing. You don't have the luxury of hand holding when sitting in a trench or starving.

>>20423993
yes it did. they just used to beat the kids until they could hide it.

>>20414181
Absolutely correct and proven by all the seething morons in the replies.

>>20424771
dumb catposter

Can you save a thread? Can you save A PEOPLE?! LITERATUUUUUURE

>>20414181
It's not dumbing anything down.

It's little different than designing fonts to make them more readable.

>>20426873
need i remind you that this is the literature board whose unofficial slogan is "mass literacy was a mistake"

>>20414176
So is this thread an elaborate troll or is the fact I can read the left much faster and easier a sign I've been "special" brained all along?

>>20414176
No I am normal.

>>20414176
I FUCKING NEED THIS

>>20414181
How is this dumbing it down? Its just changing the aesthetics of the font not the content of the book.

>>20414176
desu the bionicle text is more inviting and easier to read. the '''normal''' one is like mogging me. fuck that. and fuck chuds and also janys

>>20414176
I don't understand how people can't read fast. I can read basically as fast as my eyes can scan the text. Of course if I am reading a dense work/textbook I need to spend more time thinking about what I just read, but do people really have to spend tens of milliseconds interpreting the meaning of each word???

>>20414193
From chud to douche. Congrats, *man*.
