Iโm an expert on how technology hijacks our psychological vulnerabilities. Thatโs why I spent the last three years as Googleโs Design Ethicist caring about how to design things in a way that defends a billion peopleโs minds from getting hijacked.
When using technology, we often focus optimistically on all the things it does for us. But I want you to show you where it might do the opposite.
And this doesnโt just apply to the internet, either. There are plenty of distractions out there in the form of meaningless relationships. Nobodyโs asking you to become a complete recluse, but you must learn to accept that there are some people out there whose existence adds nothing of value to your own; worse, their presence is toxic and every interaction with them only succeeds in making you feel more lethargic and disenchanted with your own life. Folks like that are best avoided like the plague.
