    How do you reliably turn pages that fast without accidentally grabbing two pages and skipping? Im impressed!

      Meditation practice helps with this kind of thing.

        That and your king fu skills as you travel the west in the search for your family’s roots.

          It definitely improves your kung fu. But meditation really only activates super small refinements. You gotta build the kung fu before there’s anything for the meditation to sharpen.

          Basically it increases the resolution of your sensory streams. I mean, that’s the lowest-level effect of all that time spent focusing on the streaming present.
