Elon Musk was asked: “What’s one invention that’s made us worse, not better?”

His answer: short-form video.

He called it straight-up “brain rot.”

And he’s not wrong. A local news report highlighted how kids are getting flooded with dopamine hits every 15–30 seconds from YouTube Shorts and TikTok-style content. Brain scans show overactivation in the reward centers, which over time trains the brain to crave instant gratification, shortens attention spans, and contributes to attention problems, behavioral issues, and even emotional dysregulation.

Doctors are now seeing cases where it’s hard to tell the difference between true ADHD and what they’re calling “environmental ADHD” caused by excessive screen use.

78–84% of kids aged 2–12 are on YouTube, often for 2+ hours a day.

This one feels especially urgent for parents.

How much short-form video are your kids (or you) consuming daily — and have you noticed any real impact on attention span or mood?

One of my favorite lessons I’ve learnt from working with smart people:

Action produces information. If you’re unsure of what to do, just do anything, even if it’s the wrong thing. This will give you information about what you should actually be doing.

Sounds simple on the surface - the hard part is making it part of your every day working process.

Author and investor @morganhousel explains that real wealth is measured in autonomy, not accumulation.

"I want to wake up every morning and say I can do whatever the hell I want today."

"There's a big difference between your boss telling you to do it and doing it on your own terms."

"Every dollar that you don't spend is money that you are actually spending on independence."

"Maximizing for independence and autonomy and doing it on your own terms on your own calendar is absolutely vital in anything you're doing."
