I'm curious whether this helps anyone - why and how.

I suppose there's some value in minimizing the "cultural impedence mismatch" - using genz terms/style/jokes.

But the quality is not as good as "normal/longform" (let me coin "oldsplaining") coverage on the subject. And really, shouldn't we all aspire to do a good job, rather than just a meh job that's comfortable?

This is the TT of explanations: not entirely accurate, relatively shallow, aimed at being quickly scroll-through-able to obtain a facile sense of knowing. For people who find Blinkist too slow-old-fashioned. You can survive on Pizza Pops, but you really shouldn't.
