🧠Welcome to the digital age, where attention spans have shrunk to the size of a TikTok video. In this episode of Code Red - Technology, Madness, and the Future um Humanity, Chris Kalaboukis and I dive headfirst into the phenomenon we're calling "TikTok Brain"—a state of mind where anything longer than 15 seconds feels like a marathon. But don't worry, we promise this episode will hold your attention for more than a blink.
📲 What's Happening to Our Minds?
Are we witnessing the downfall of deep thinking? Or is this just evolution in action, speeding up to match our scroll-happy thumbs? In today’s chat, we explore how TikTok is rewiring our brains, making us crave instant gratification like a toddler with an iPad (because who has time for patience these days, right?).
🎧 Highlights:
Why focus is now a luxury item (available only to those who can stay off social media for more than 10 minutes).
The surprising science behind why your brain loves—and hates—TikTok.
Tips for reclaiming your attention span, or at least stretching it to a solid 30 seconds.
🤔 Spoiler Alert: By the end of this episode, you might just be convinced that the next big thing in self-help will be a "how to focus" course taught in 7-second soundbites. But hey, at least you’ll have fun getting there.

🫶If you want to take the driver's seat and shape your life yourself instead of falling into the TikTok trap, I have a process for that: it's called future scenario thinking. Developed by the U.S. Air Force back in the 1940s, this technique dives deep into what drives decisions, helping us understand the root causes and mechanisms behind them. It's all about working together to shape the future we really want.
🎯It’s a highly effective brain trick that brings what's lurking in your subconscious to the forefront, helping you gain clarity, craft a long-term vision, and make confident choices. When we're intentional about our decisions, everything shifts dramatically in our experience.
