The most reliable way is to use spaced repetition (e.g. Anki software), which is a flashcard system that reminds you of certain facts.
It's highly time-consuming though. I usually re-read books sometimes, and anchor situations and phrases with occurrences that happen in my own life.

Otherwise, you can teach others about the topic, which lets you master the subject.

Finally, you can recognize that most academics actually don't have that information immediately on-hand. If you go to r/askhistorians, for instance, writers often refer back to their references. Reading broadly lets you know where information is, rather than lets you recall it immediately (unless you use spaced repetition or teaching).

you should probably be reading things like academic articles and journals from a diverse array of authors on a given subject and not a single 800 page nonfiction book. To be truly familiar with something you aren't supposed to memorize phrases and lil facts -- you have to be able to connect it to other things in the world. it is not about memorization of facts as much as the critical mindset you approach the material with.. you gotta really wrestle with the stuff you read

summarize each chapter you read in 5-8 bullet points. use a notebook dedicated specifically for this. this notebook effectively also functions as your reading log. when you skim the bullet points you start to remember what you read.

They’re actually rather clockable in most photos. Just look up other ones and you should be fine.

I looked it up and she still looks good

>>15020037
DOES she have a wee wee? I need to know, anon. If she doesn't, I'm not fucking interested.

>he still has a penis
>he's on hrt so it's feminine

>>15020037

>>15020468
>he
Be respectful anon, jesus. But regardless, how do you know SHE still has a cock? All that video claims is she didn't get surgery to LOOK feminine. God damn the uncertainty is eating me up inside bros

Reading a book once will not give you the ability to answer every question about the book's contents. It just won't. If you're particularly interested in a topic, read multiple works on it. Or read the same work multiple times with new questions in mind. Write down with citation anything notable that you really want to remember, although it can be hard to single out what's "notable" if you don't know the subject well. Just keep reading.

im not gay and id fuck that

>>15021047
It's ONLY gay if they've had the surgery, dude. Nothing gay whatsoever about a bit of soft, feminine cock

>>15020037

>If people were to talk to me about why Jews are successful and why that is, I can't for the life of me can't find a smart legitimate answer
Because nepotism and networks of circular references in professional publications.

See? That wasn't so hard to remember.

How many biofems do you think are on the upvote farms pretending to be trannies?

Consider that the number can't possibly be zero.

dude, I don't remember anything from fiction; only from non-fiction. 99% of shit you read from fiction you can forget right after you've read it because it won't be of any use in your life ever.

Also, non-fiction knowledge is inherenty more interested than fiction. I would memorize something said by a philosopher and his thoughts and ideas, but memorizing what F. Scott FIzgerald's wife ate for dinner at a Hotel place once or what Humbert thought about the child school he put Lolita into isn't interesting or useful at all.

Yeah but if you've watched this one in particular you can tell by the voice she ain't cis.
