Your Thinking Rate Is Fixed
Anecdata, but I really don't think thinking rate is fixed. An easy example is learning a new language - at the beginning you will have a lot of trouble expressing yourself as you grasp for vocabulary and struggle with grammar, but over time these tasks become second nature and you'll be able to think and express yourself much faster.<p>You can argue that your thinking rate hasn't changed, you've just internalized some concepts and no longer have to actively think about them, but that seems like a disingenuous argument. You could certainly repeat this process for other disciplines and indeed 'think faster' for all intents and purposes.<p>Of course, this is a clickbait article and I'm wasting my time even responding to this, but I had a visceral reaction to this that I felt I shouldn't ignore.
