🧠 Issue #2 — Your Brain on Infinite Scroll

Your Brain on Infinite Scroll

You weren’t designed to consume infinite content.

Your ancestors had to decide what berries to eat, when to sleep, and who to trust — not whether to swipe past 700 clever posts on the train.

The modern feed is a slot machine for attention. The reward? A few seconds of novelty, a hint of outrage, a passing dopamine hit.

But your brain wasn’t built for this. It was built to notice, reflect, wonder.

And when you’re locked in scroll mode, you’re not choosing anymore. You’re reacting — sometimes to nothing at all.

We talk a lot about “AI alignment.”
Maybe the deeper question is: Are we still aligned with ourselves?
