Unless you're studying for a test I don't understand why anyone would do this.

Does your brain not work? Can you not read something and then ruminate on it? Do you need to explain it to yourself on paper or else you'll forget it because you're a fucking simpleton?

Sometimes you want to find a reference in a book, it's easy to find when it's highlighted, and oh look! a few insightful thoughts about the passage at hand. thank God I'm not a vain materialist faggot who cares about what a book looks like when I'm done reading it, or else this would have been a lot more painful of a process

highlights in particular are a strong indication of brainletism. people who "learn" by staring at the same sentences over and over again end up memorizing the phrasing and missing the point. you should be thinking in concepts, not in words.

>> No.13554012

>>13553987
the whole point of highlighting is as a reference so you there is literally no point in both highlighting and memorizing
>think in concepts, not in words
now this is what I call brainletism

If something is truly valuable, I never forget it. Stop reading trash.

Highlights and notes are a personal prelude to our serious writings, they are the first draft.

fpbp, as always. However, I must confess my sins - I do make notes. But I'm retarded.
