The problem is that 'every mathematician has only a few tricks' [1].
This means that every scientific problem should be exposed to as many scientists as possible, coordinated in a way that maximizes the number of tricks that are tried.
To me, this suggests that something like the TikTok algorithm should bring scientists and problems together. The problem is that each problem is not a 30 second video that is easy to consume, but a problem that requires some amount of studying before it is approachable.
There is most likely not much to invent, e.g. there is already stack exchange to answer questions, and Khan Academy to gain basic knowledge, but like YT before TikTok, there is no algorithm that brings it all together.
That would be very exclusive, wouldn't it?
