Why does education have to be entertaining? Interactive, sure. But not entertaining due to attention spans dwindling.

Short attention spans can be absorbed into poetry/philosophy and expanded by chasing the meaning of the tiny sentences.

With skill you can put a lot of information into a shorter song. Chain those short sentences together and you can educate and entertain across a rythym.

Just saying it's possible.

More like attention spans for boring stuff were always short for humans. Making it more entertaining means people don’t have such a hard time remaining focused.
