Sounds like you enjoy life.

I can actively shut off the voice and read faster. It doubles or triples my reading speed and the text becomes images, more like flashes, some books are better than others so it's not just a flash of the scene, but for enjoyment I read with the inner monologue.

It's probably more about the quality of the web pages over time. Unless that is controlled for it can't be ruled out

Downloaded a sample few weeks back, started reading it. Loved the movie. Never realized it was based off a book. I decided I was going to buy the book, then found it was of three. I still plan on buying them, 'cept now it's them and not it. Lol

I think there is a conflating of causing it to go extinct and accelerating it. Species have been going extinct "for all time". Nature kind of works that way, adapt or die. The environment was altered in such a way that they had to adapt or die, whether that be loss of habitable land, food, or predation. humanity contributed, but unless we specifically hunted them to extinction we didn't directly cause them to go extinct.
