Is reinforcing that behaviour not worrying to you?
Being able to get consistent, instant stimulation from doing effectively nothing seems dangerous to me.
We're training ourselves to not be able to focus on anything.
- johnchristopher 6y agoI don't really think so (at least regarding my tiktok usage) Being thrown right into the mushroom thing, into the action, forces me to keep focus and attention. The pseudo-introduction is just dulling my mind while not bringing anything of consistence. I had some tiktoks that started like "So I read something incredible the other day and I just had to try it. I am gonna show you what happened when I decided to eat an orange under the shower". Don't care. Starts with you eating the orange. As another sibling commentator wrote it's a different narrative structure. > Being able to get consistent, instant stimulation from doing effectively nothing seems dangerous to me. The same could be said from books but I get what you mean. I still read books, so I guess I am okay (it could be worse !). edit: to be fair, I have very low tolerance and patience for people who beats around the bush :/. On the other hand, when walking outside I can stop and look around me for 2 or 3 minutes every 100 meters because there's always some piece of architecture or natural landscape to look at.
