Documents vs. Blocks for Reading

• Reading and writing are two sides of the same coin, with the document as the medium of knowledge transfer.
• Documents are externally focused and coherent, serving as a bridge between the writer's and reader's minds.
• Blocks, in contrast, are internally focused and lack the inherent connection that documents provide.
• Reading for betterment is a destructive process where the reader decomposes the document into blocks for their own use.
• This contrasts with note-taking apps, which are too fluid for focused reading.
