Tried making a video yesterday

In recent years, I’ve seen a lot of fearful talk from older writers about how younger people increasingly don’t read articles, or even blogs. Instead, according to this view, the youth mostly get their news from short-form videos. I’m not sure if this is true, necessarily bad, or just the latest example of generational panic.

Still, for a while, I’ve thought I might be able to reach some different audiences if I posted brief clips to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and other places. Perhaps I could make a podcast which I could publish in full but then chop up into smaller sections. I probably don’t have the time or energy for it, but it would be good.

Besides spreading the world about the need for public funding for cultivated-meat research, I believe it might help address my fear of public speaking, which is one of my biggest weaknesses as an activist. So, yeah, I gave the idea an initial try here. I’ll likely stick to writing, but I should push myself more.
