Reading a book or a paper one might feel forced to read & understand everything, but that is not needed. There is too much information in the world, so one has to choose anyway.
Getting the freedom to choose makes reading nicer. Picking and choosing the best parts is like only eating desert. → Who rebound books and removed parts?
With AI tools it is possible to ask which chapters are the “best”. Too many books, too little time. → AI prompts before reading a book
Then, the good parts can be moved into your notes. Key is to think about the parts you do read. collectors fallacy is a risk.
