For me there is a simple test: how the algorithm decides what to put in my feed. If the feed is made of posts belonging to the connections i follow (be it business pages or persons) in temporal order, then chances for addiction are low. If

For what's worth - we have 2 perception systems, top down (essentially pattern recognition) and bottom up (requires sense-making). When we experience something that doesn't fit the first - automatic - our homeostasis is diminished

If instinct is level 0 response mode/feedback loop (strictly cause-effect) and intellect/cognition/self-awareness is level 2 (capable to plan and analyse), emotions are level 1. Instinct is just good enough to survive, if you

I loved what they did in Altered Carbon S01: the concept of double-sleeving, where the same consciousness inhabits 2 bodies at the same time. Given that (methinks) consciousness is just a sensation generated by a feedback loop, with the exc

I'll give you an even better one: locus of control People with internal locus of control are 5x more likely to use failures as stepping sones toward improvement. I know because we did the research. We use this, among other behavioural

You are right in being skeptical. First, behavioural responses vary from person to person and from culture to culture (Americans will smile in most social situations, Russians don't smile unless there is a laughter coming in). Second,

I have a sad realisation that "engagement" is more likely "enragement." Humans are activated best by anger. Joy? That is a big deactivator... The algorithmic approach to the feed reminds me a model I work every day with:

Sorry for the downvotes you get, it's appalling. The whole piece is superficial and riddled with inconsistencies. I guess we can take it as entertainment? It's what non-marketers think a growth marketer does, just put in text form

You have all my sympathy because living with this kind of sensitivity is not easy. Ego-depletion is great when you are too much in your head and you feel stress over minor things. However to suggest mindfulness to somebody dealing with clin
