Deep Questions with Cal Newport
Slowly reading full sentences supports Deep Thinking
Reading with perceptible pauses and focusing on full sentences instead of skimming can lead to advanced deep thinking processes. Slowly absorbing information allows for clearer thinking, increased empathy, and integration of ideas. Pausing to reflect on sentences before moving on helps integrate new information into existing mental structures, enabling a more sophisticated understanding of the world. In contrast, skimming on screens hinders deep thinking as it does not provide the necessary time for reflection and integration of thoughts. Skimming focuses on emotional arousal and superficial judgments rather than deep understanding and empathy, resulting in a primitive engagement with information.
