I expected a pointing at a solution. Nothing came. I can imagine some books have higher priority than others. I can also imagine that some insights have higher priority than others (in my case, more than 20 insights a day get forgotten, so I have to put an upper bound on how much I learn per day).

Looking at what people you already consider bright recommend most highly might be a way.

Rationalists should win, I feel your pain, but sketch me a solution.

Before you can sketch a solution, you first have to characterize the problem. Sometimes the solution isn't apparent immediately. And sometimes someone else has it.

Upvoted, but it felt more like a lament than a stab at a problem. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
