I think it's a good video. "The restaurant doesn't exist" is an important axiom. It's why recommendation engines are useless, Netflix has nothing more. Smart users will see TikTok doesn't really have a good recommendation engine, just good content, bite sized so lots can be produced. > the world seems limitless but for these physical things it's actually fairly limited This is a really good quote, it also applies to digital. Anyway, a list of tarpit ideas would be useful. The axiom's are too hard, like software complexity and getting money out of educational institutions.
