Certainly I notice young people now who are who appear almost neurologically incapable of watching a great movie from beginning to end without interruption you know what's cool if you Google the number of cuts in the first fast and furious movie compared to the number of cuts in the 10th Fast and Furious movie.
Sam Harris · Modern Wisdom · Jul 2023 Listen at 7:46 Why people recommend it
The Fast by Lou Engle is a book centered on spiritual disciplines and fasting. During an episode of Timcast IRL titled Timcast IRL #169 - Protests ERUPT Over Forced Vaccinations In Europe w/ Ryan Lon, aired on November 19, 2020, Tim Pool jokingly recommended a novelization of the action-packed Fast and Furious film franchise while referencing the title. Separately, Sam Harris appeared on Modern Wisdom in an episode published on July 31, 2023, where he discussed media pacing and cinema. Harris brought up both the first and tenth installments of the Fast and Furious movie series to illustrate how modern media editing and the frequency of cuts have shifted significantly over time. He observed that these changes appear to impact the attention spans of younger audiences, rendering some individuals seemingly incapable of watching a complete film without interruption. While Pool used the title for comedic effect to invoke the cinematic franchise, Harris examined the cultural footprint of the movies' rapid editing style. Together, these podcast references connected the published book's title to broader cultural conversations about film editing, media consumption habits, and changing generational attention spans in the modern entertainment landscape.
