- Technical flag: 'drops exponentially' is wrong — temporal discounting is hyperbolic (Ainslie/Laibson). Exponential discounting predicts consistent preferences; hyperbolic explains why we reverse them. The distinction matters and a sharp viewer will catch it.
- 'The task description is the bug, not your willpower' is the standout line — punchy, reframe-first, not condescending. Keep it verbatim.
- Dopamine framing is disciplined: never says dopamine = pleasure or reward, frames it as a prediction signal. Avoids the most common neuroscience slop.
- 23-second runtime is tight and purposeful. No filler beats.
- Before/after scene (s6) is the visual anchor — concrete, scannable, saveable. Correct scene placement.
- Anti-slop is solid but the topic zone (procrastination + brain science) is saturated. The mechanism-first angle earns its place; the hook is not clickbait but it's adjacent to territory that will get viewer skepticism in the first second.
- Fix before publish: swap 'exponentially' for 'steeply' or 'sharply' — preserves the lay meaning without the technical error.

Script
hookYour brain can't reward what it can't predict.
"Before you act, your brain runs a forecast. Expected reward, discounted by time and certainty."
"A vague task like 'work on the project' gives it nothing to compute. No prediction, no signal."
"Your phone gives it everything. Immediate, certain, familiar. It wins the forecast every time."
"Your reward system is behaving correctly. The task description is the bug."
"One fix: replace vague intentions with a single physical action."
"Not 'finish the report'. Open the doc. Type the first sentence. That's a forecastable task."
