"Social media doesn’t let us actually absorb the information we consume. We’re blasted with low-context content and given no time to reflect on what we’ve just consumed before the next video starts to play. Functionally, it’s the same as junk food – we absorb the message straight into our psyche without vetting it, contextualizing it or reflecting on what we just consumed.
I recently watched a TikTok summarizing an article that was summarizing a documentary that was summarizing a trial.

reminders to trust the process and going the long hard stupid way is the best way
From ‘The Dip’ by Seth Godin
The reason that big companies almost always fail when they try to enter new
markets is their willingness to compromise. They figure that because they are
big and powerful, they can settle, do less, stop improving something before it is
truly remarkable. They compromise to avoid offending other divisions or to
minimize their exposure. So they fail. They
