Prefer retention over consumption

Consume x Retention = Knowledge

100 x 0.1 = 10

Instead of consuming more, 200 x 0.1 = 20 It’s a much better to have more effective retention.

50 x 0.5 = 25

Most people forget up to 90% of what they read. Anything that we consume that doesn’t become knowledge is essentially overeating.

The mental process for “vomiting” is forgetting. See Intellectual obesity
