Our brains are wired to seek easy paths, which is how habits are formed. > The existence of a big number of people who can do complicated jobs is crucial for the modern world, and I think this whole thing will fall down if it continued with the current mode. I think we may have different definitions of "complicated jobs" here, but I believe the number of people who are getting higher education (masters+) have been increasing. Yes I do believe that people's attention span (mine included) are getting shorter and shorter. I've found myself watching more "summary videos" that are shallow instead of sitting down and deeply engaging with the topic. But I don't think it's to a point where the whole thing will fall down. I do believe that we are criminally underpaying some crucial professions that require deeper understanding though: I can't believe I get paid more than electrical /mechanical engineers.
