I’m an outlier due to medical issues following a burnout to the crisp. I occasionally zone out, most often when I’m reading. So reading has become a chore - I can’t switch on an auto-pilot like I used to. This has made the activity literally “scanning with my eyes” and doing so with attention. On bad days I re-parse the same sentence several times and it just won’t get interpreted. I used to consume a lot of text and it got me two master degrees. Now I barely read and don’t remember what I read. Reading something online is by scrolling the text to the top bar, like pointing a finger to the line you’re reading.

Hope this answers your wtf
