🚀 Speed Before Accuracy: The Counterintuitive Path
The counterintuitive approach: Focus on speed before accuracy 🏃♂️
❌ Common Mistake: Prioritizing accuracy prevents developing necessary speed
- This approach is connected to fear
- Conditions people into compliance and uniformity
📚 Real Example - West Point Speed Reading:
- Students read books upside down first
- Trains visual comfort and speed before comprehension
- Results: 200 → 1,000 words per minute (5-10x improvement)
💡 Key Insight: Some skills can't be taught gradually over weeks - they need intensive, rapid practice. Like changing diapers or unfiltered speaking in today's cancel culture, these abilities require compressed learning through repetitive training to achieve quick mastery.
