i can do some amount of reading, but when it comes to reading something like Das Kapital, my eyes glaze over

i can't be the only one who has this struggle. besides developing the practice of reading widely and deeply, what are some ways we can help ourselves to become the critical thinkers necessary for revolutionary work?

we can talk about tips/experiences like:

  • getting your vision checked
  • an adhd diagnosis
  • reward structures
  • joining book clubs
  • note taking strategies
  • etc

in essence, is there theory for "reading theory"?

        Luckily I do! I already have a referral to a psych for an unrelated issue with gender dysphoria so maybe I can bring it up then since I will see the new psych before I see the regular primary doc again

        I will check out that channel. Thank you, I feel as if I have some sort of executive function disorder in some way and I think it’s impacted my daily life a lot, I am starting to notice.

      You can talk to your regular doctor about it. They might refer you it might handle treatment themselves. That varies wildly from doctor to doctor.
