Show Notes

Social media + persuasive technologies exploit our brain's vulnerabilities to ensure we stay engaged with their apps.


  1. Creating a sense of urgency,
  2. Encouraging constant seeking,
  3. Comparing ourselves to others,
  4. Engaging with negative content,
  5. Isolating us in bubbles.


To combat this, slow the fuck down.


The Khan Academy offers free courses and today I sped through their lesson on "persuasive technology" and how we can push back against it, to reclaim what is ours.
