In case anyone with an Android is confused because they don't see the option: I believe that you have to explicitly enable the Lockdown option in Android's system settings before it shows up.
I find your sentiment interesting, but we can't ignore a fact in favor of not hurting people's feelings. Of course, more research is always being done, so I'm sure in a few years a new research paper will come out and we will hear a different facts about a certain gender's academic performance. Then next big paper comes out and the cycle repeats.
I think the issue your ideal world of communication runs into, is that experts can't dedicate all of their time to public outreach. That's where journalists come in.
If you want to know why your chest hurts a bit on the regular, you talk to your doctor. If you want to learn a few interesting facts about a heart condition, you read an article written by a journalist.
I've been sniffing around for projects to do to improve my coding ability and understanding of different programs/languages. Your article really motivated me to start some small projects of my own! I like the idea of not getting yourself down with giant projects and instead just making small applications of new technologies you want to learn.

I think a rebrand would and a healthy amount of not-with-a-10-foot-pole-itis in their attitude towards any mention of youtube or music downloading would be helpful. Like a secret menu item at a resturaunt you could use <generic>-dl to download youtube videos, but don't specifically endorse it.
Honestly Fortnite has been consistently popular for a few years now. I'm betting on it becoming another Minecraft type of game where it could be still popular in 5-10 years from now.
Been doing this for a few years without assigning a name to it. It works wonders for someone who is a chronic procrastinator like myself. I'd also like to add:
If you can set a schedule to "just to it" for a reoccurring task, that helps immensely in reducing brain strain.
