Dmitrii Kovanikov(@ChShersh):I noticed that it became harder for me to watch long-form content. I can't watch a movie in one go. I can't even watch a single TV series episode. Same with work: I can't do hour-long coding sessions anymore. I was afraid my attention span is being destroyed. Turns out, most modern movies are just shit. I watched 1k+ movies and 10k+ TV series episodes. You can no longer surprise me with your "original" work. I've seen it all. The colour is being sucked out of this world, and social media has sucked out all the creativity from your content. Your movies are boring. Your worlds are not immersive. Your characters are not believable. And honestly, not really complex. Same with work. I thought I lost my spark due to my burnout. But somehow I had an idea for a cool project and I've been working on it non-stop for hours and lost track of my time. I thought I lost this ability! Turns out, I was simply doing boring work. If you feel like your attention span is decreasing, maybe try doing something really interesting.

People need to understand this: these billionaire tech bros teach their children Montessori and Waldorf methods which focuses on teaching kids the ability to focus for long periods, think critically, and be creative, while they push attention-destroying short form videos and AI onto the masses and pretend it’s for the good of humanity. They understand that your ability to focus and be creative is the main factor of success in the future, yet design apps that degrade those crucial life skills. The average person must be aware of this and resist this at all costs.
