Philosophy isn't just reading... it's thinking and analysing what it means to you. The words that carry meaning are still only 4 to 11% it's up to you to explore that... that isn't exactly reading it's coming to analysing. The advantage of PhotoReading and then slowing down as needed, you still read faster than traditional analysing speed.
Traditional readers are sequential readers because that's how they learned to read. If they got a word wrong, Miss Bullet you elementary reading teacher made you go back and start over again and read it correctly.
The mind can easily handle non sequential thinking. Sequential thinking bores it. If it didn't school wouldn't be so boring. Listening to an instructor drone on sequentially when the mind is ready to go a different direction.
People find sequential reading boring too. Most never got beyond the third chapter of a book.
The reason it's difficult for learners of PhotoReading to shift is they had 5 to 50 years of experience reading the traditional way from page 1 to 2 to 3 etc. They feel guilty for breaking the rule that if you miss a word you have to go back. If you miss a page you have to go back.
If you ever had to write an outline you notice that the mind doesn't think linearly, you will find you have to go back and squeeze something in you left out before. No, guilt makes them more uncomfortable than going with the flow of the way the mind operates.
