    the first time I’ve heard anyone say low attention span piecemeal content does anything but rot your brain.

    Well, that’s the neat thing, you didn’t…

    I’m talking about deliberately practicing cognitive flexibility which literally combats that…

    That’s… a completely different thing?

    100% spot on here.

    If I said Wayne Gretzky was as well known as Michael Jordan, you’d also be correct in pointing out they were two separate people.

    And if I said Bo Jackson is as popular as Bo Jackson…

    I shouldn’t be surprised if someone asked me why I compared the same thing to itself, but apparently some people would take it in stride.

      Oh, I thought you said “this was well known as rubber-duck debugging”, with only one as.
