Ok so I actually watched most of that on crappy internet - and there are many places where there are big issues with the underlying assumptions.
I think around the 14 minute mark or something you made a statement that people need to be aware of the apps they choose.
Prior to that you had argued that (mostly for the first world) behavioral choices are the root of the major causes of morbidity.
Your redeeming speech comes at around the 20 minute mark.
Issues first:
1) you assume people have a choice - and that inherently Discounts the over size impact of bad actors and antagonists.
This point alone, fundamentally changes the constants underpinning the model you tacitly must be running to support your other predictions.
2) people are terrible at making a lot of choices on average. People choosing good apps over bad is similar to hoping people make good life style choices.
Unlikely, and far too path dependent. Unless you are highly informed, educated about skinner/conditioning and tech aware and cynical - you won’t succeed.
3) a lot of those behavioral problems have arisen from large firms using old school behavioral influencing to create that situation.
There is no basis for hope that more behavioral tools will solve the problem.
20 minutes onwards though, and you have a much better Wicket - at least up to the point I’ve watched.
Which is another thing. Very few people are going to watch a 30 minute video of you speaking, especially when we’re on a text based forum.
