In many ways philosophy is the direct opposite of tik-tok. Lots of time pouring over challenging thinking and writing, it's not fun and sometimes not even pleasant. You stick with one thing for awhile, leave and keep coming back to it. Then you come across that one passage that, quite literally, can change your life. The one passage that really makes it all click and it sticks with you for a long time, you close the book and chew on it on for awhile, maybe days maybe years. Tik-Tok is an endless stream of "feels good" that never sticks. If you don't like a piece of content for more than 1 second you can swipe and get a new piece. Tik-tok feels great, but never really will connect with you, never will leave you look up from the screen and thinking "wow, the world has changed for me". Tik-Tok will, for this reason, never be a learn tool. Honestly even youtube struggle with this. Learning means feeling dumb and climbing your way out. Tik-Tok is about blasting you with fun facts and insights that make you feel smart. A controversial take, but this is my problem with 3blue1brown. 3b1b creates some incredible content, but my experience is it excels at making you feel like you're learning. But you aren't really learning, it doesn't stick the way that slow reading and deliberate practice do. The feeling of 'ah ha!' but with out the actual work that makes that 'ah ha!' real. Like taking a helicopter to the summit of the mountain and rejoicing with the people who climbed it.
