I vividly remember when the internet was just a tool you logged onto, found what you needed, and then walked away from. Now, every single app on your phone is a highly weaponized casino engineered by behavioral psychologists to hijack your dopamine system. We are voluntarily surrendering the best hours of our waking lives, and the prime years of our kids' lives, to scroll through manufactured outrage and algorithmic sludge. We don’t consume media anymore; our attention is the raw material being harvested and sold to the highest bidder while our actual, physical lives pass us by.
