Building a Shield for Your Mind Against Digital Manipulation
Sumona Banerji, founder of MindShield [https://www.mindshield.org/] and PhD candidate in cyber psychology, joins us to discuss building cognitive resilience in an age of exponential technology and algorithmic manipulation.
George K and George A talk to Sumona about:
* Truth is fragmented - Everyone only sees a piece of it, creating space for better discussion
* The TAR framework - Trigger, Analysis, Response for emotional regulation with manipulative content
* Expanding the amygdala - How meditation literally grows brain regions for critical thinking
* Algorithm curation - Your feeds mirror your choices; conscious curation transforms your information diet
From documentary filmmaker to tech psychology researcher, Sumona's unconventional path offers unique insights into protecting our cognitive capacity as knowledge workers navigating an increasingly complex information landscape.
