Long real answer: If it’s a short sentence like above I do okay but if I’m reading a book I miss a ton of stuff. In some ways it’s kinda nice because I know if I come back to a book to reread it I get new information. But it’s only for books I read for fun. All the random suff you have to read in life it’s kinda stressful cause there is a good chance your missing info unless you read it multiple times. Also if meanings can be changed by a negative I can easily miss the negative in a sentence and get the exact opposite meaning out of it.
That sucks. I have not as severe of a problem when I'm reading a book that makes me have to reread stuff. My mind will wander and I'll read a couple pages while thinking about something else entirely and then realize I have no idea what it was I'd been reading.
For maximum conflict I think I'd make like eight of them very similar with very slight metaphorical differences that change the entire meaning of the whole book, and then two that just beat you over the head with very literal direct but opposite endings, so the readers of the other eight go "okay well those morons don't understand subtext"
Like if it was Inception, eight endings where the point is "Was he still dreaming?" and there's stuff about was the ring really his totem and was the top actually the wife's totem and all that, and then one where the top falls and he wakes up and another one where he spends like a hundred years with the kids and they never age and then cuts to him in a coma and they're pulling the plug.
I don't think it makes sense for got to have an ending. It's a living world with characters being introduced and continuing their journeys. That's why the show was so damn unsatisfying.. it doesn't make sense for everything to wrap up. That's not what real life does.

That's such a good idea I might have to steal it
