I am a student in a field completely unrelated to any of this and I tend to have my hobbies take too much of my time compared to what my uni asks of me.
The consequence is that I try to optimize the time I spend here. So I add what feels like future high value in my diy reading queue. De facto almost anything that touches to AI that doesn’t seem too easy ends up in this queue. Then what I think will be useful to me (eg : the “how to be happy” essay that I discovered thanks to your comment above).
But I never add to my queue (or ignore) before reading it diagonally first. I always skim read while paying close atention to the structure, the epistemic status, the way each thought was processed to be explained to others, how accessible to notions were made, was there a conclusion?, how quickly people seem to agree or disagree, etc

The funny thing is that I compulsively glance over every comment and every post. And I always seem to find a thought out of it. Like I never thought these things could have suspensions or that it could be enough to use the fabric of the whole thing. Out of all and any posts, there always seems to be something for me.
