If you want to become insanely competent by remembering everything you read, use sensory learning:
Verbal - Read it
Social - Tell it to a friend
Auditory - Listen to the book
Kinaesthetic - Apply in the real world
Hypnagogic - Visualise the concepts as you fall asleep
Visual - Create symbols that reminds you of concepts
You activate more areas of the brain, recruit more neural pathways, so the information sinks deeper into your unconscious mind.
Transform's reading into memories, ideas into reflex's of explanation.
Game theory explains why working harder inside a broken system is the worst response to that system. Because a system is never truly broken. It's just producing exactly the outcomes its own incentive structures were designed to produce, whether intentional or not. Working harder inside this system increases your output in the payoff matrix, but it simply won't change the actual structure of the system's matrix. Thus, the correct response is not more effort. Instead, you must aim to identify whose interests the current structure serves and position yourself in favor of those interests rather than against them. Change the game, or play the game that is actually being played. Either way, you must stop optimizing for the game you wish it to be and start acting realistically.
95% of men in a recent study admitted to using a method for getting sex from a woman they knew didn't want it. And all these researchers had to do was promise one thing that no one would ever find out. So the study comprised of 2,689 men. Their ages ranged from 18 to 34. These are not prisoners, These are just regular people, a community sample. Two-thirds of them were employed full-time and half of them were in relationships. The tactics include: “Get her away from everyone. Isolate her. Get her somewhere private and under your control. Keep her drunk if she's already drunk”. Some of them used physical restraints and two-thirds of these occasions ended in the sex he wanted. So these same men are in your comments right now or in my comments too typing “not all men”. Knowing damn well its fucking 95%
