I predict with high uncertainty that this post will have been very usefwl to me. Thanks!
Here’s a potential missing mood: if you read/skim a post and you don’t go “ugh that was a waste of time” or “wow that was worth reading”[1], you are failing to optimise your information diet and you aren’t developing intuition for what/how to read.
This is importantly different from going “wow that was a good/impressive post”. If you’re just tracking how impressed you are by what you read (or how useful you predict it is for others), you could be wasting your time on stuff you already know and/or agree with. Succinctly, you need to track whether your mind has changed—track the temporal difference.
