When I have to read journals or research papers, yes. Otherwise it would be extremely painful

>> No.18397075

no i lie in bed. i pace around for half the day thinking and muttering to myself though. pacing feels so satisfying. i feel we share the same soul.

I can't sit and read
I need classical music or atmospheric noises and walk around the room
If I sit down and read i forget what i read the next day
Following my method I always remember it
Idk why

holy shit I do the same thing. If I'm sitting down I feel uncomfortable every couple minutes and have to shift around

I can concentrate otherwise but I still prefer to read while walking. my flat is built such that I can walk in a circle

i get very autistic about the same thing. I construct an image of the scene and when the author mentions a contradicting detail it unsettles me

lmao

I get worked up and pace around in pain like I imagine Wittgenstein did when he was staying with Bertrand Russell

>> No.18398592

No, but I only read words, I don't see pictures. The same thing happens when I write. I only feel the abstract meaning of words without seeing the images that go with them. When I think about it like this, I don't understand how I can write at all. When I compare my writing to other people's writing, maybe mine is a little more idea-driven, but the descriptions aren't Frankenstein-monsters like you might expect.

same here, i don't think I have adhd

Yes. Walking allows us to delve deepest into our concentration.
>>18397014
Fat people can't walk and read because their huge appendages sap blood from their brains.

There is a visual technique I have been working around crafting words as symbols, but not their literals. It is more like a vector, starting from some unique point and heading towards another. It has a distinct feeling for any chain of words, but I find it difficult to maintain because I get synesthesia on whatever I am reading. Words change colors and other weird things. The extended premise being some part of the brain already knows what is read before subvocalizing and the habit is ordering terms as some permutation of them, during which some other syntax handler gives the meaning. I conceptually experienced this while reading Kant's CPR, translated by Max Muller. Commas everywhere requiring a different type of reading, which I later found out is related to a more clear German approach of just adding words to other words, ideas are chunked as some whole that can be applied to some other chunk with nothing but good sense to clear the ambiguity. The original purpose came to me not for reading, but for originating thoughts by adjusting the vector.

I picked this passage just randomly scrolling down knowing I would find an example in one of the longer "paragraphs" - collages really - run-on sentences that would be arguments but often end on different islands from where they start. Seriously, this ends as 'the proof is left to the reader, but only the smart ones, oh, and here is a hint, just in case you are not.'
