The normal human way of doing things is rife with inefficiencies. It means starting a new writing project and blankly staring at your screen, waiting for inspiration to hit you. It means reading books at such a slow pace that you never have time to finish them in your busy schedule. It means having a capricious mind that jumps from one distraction to the next, stifling your ability to learn and retain information. To become superhuman is to achieve superhuman memory, reading, and writing skills.
