We invented fire, and soon after, the story.

Now we invent content — and forget how to listen.

I think these are two great videos for people to watch right now. I say this because I am often seeing too many people trying to argue or isolate vs trying to understand the best way to move forward and promote change is the middle ground, and also know when to stop...

Here is what I got:

Then for a better breakdown on the science behind the culture of information overload causing us to shut down and become more isolated, here is @johngreenwritesbooks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9euKCrTyMEc

What's your biggest challenge when it comes to managing information overload? I'm curious to hear your thoughts! #PKM #InformationOverload #Productivity

Feeling overwhelmed by the daily deluge of information? I'm sharing my experiences on how a Personal Knowledge Management system can help you regain control. Blog post dropping tomorrow at 5pm UK time! #PKM #Zettelkasten #InformationOverload

Very interesting project. A mammoth task!

AI summaries. Social media censorship. Paywalls. Disappearing data. Scientific gatekeeping. Book bans. Controlled media.

We live in an age where information is infinite—but access is anything but free. What we don’t see, can’t read, or aren’t allowed to question shapes us more than what we can.

The quote in the image isn't just about information overload. It's about power. And the quiet cost of trusting filters we didn’t choose.

Combatting the Effects of #CyberPsychosis - STUDY: “Humanity is currently facing an existential crisis about the nature of #truth and #reality driven by the availability of information online which overloads and overwhelms our cognitive capabilities, which we call Cyber-Psychosis. The results of this Cyber-Psychosis include the decline of critical thinking coupled with deceptive influences on the Internet which have become so prolific that they are challenging our ability to form a shared understanding of reality in either the digital or physical world. Fundamental to mending our fractured digital universe is establishing the ability to know where a digital object (i.e. a piece of information like text, audio, or video) came from, whether it was modified, what it is derived from, where it has been circulated, and what (if any) lifetime that information should have.” #internet #Enshittification #MentalHealth #cognition #InformationOverload #Study

You’re not imagining it—life is more overwhelming than it used to be.

Thirty years ago, we weren’t expected to be on 24/7.
Now, everything—news, work, education, friendship—flows through endless digital networks.

We scroll, refresh, reply, react.
There’s no pause. No buffer. No off-switch.

This is the Network Society.
Power no longer moves top-down—it moves through likes, clicks, and notifications.
Your attention is the commodity. Your nervous system is the casualty.

We weren’t built for this.
We evolved for rhythm, rest, and relationship—not for a life spent staring into the infinite scroll.

If you’re feeling scattered, anxious, or emotionally fried—you’re not broken.
You’re living in a system that rewards saturation over sanity.

Maybe the first step is naming it.
This isn’t just burnout. It’s digital trauma.

So, you thought downloading the entire Wikipedia was a good idea? 🤔 Brace yourself for a treasure trove of "special pages" and riveting instructions on logging in. 😂 Who knew "offline reading" meant drowning in a sea of sidebars? 📚🔍

As the pace of technological change accelerates, we are increasingly experiencing a state of information overload. Statistics show that we are interrupted every three minutes during the course of the work day. Multitasking between email, cell-phone, text messages, and four or five websites while listening to an iPod forces the brain to process more and more informaton at greater and greater speeds. And yet the human brain has hardly changed in the last 40,000 years. Are all these high-tech advances overtaxing our Stone Age brains or is the constant flood of information good for us, giving our brains the daily exercise they seem to crave? In The Overflowing Brain, cognitive scientist Torkel Klingberg takes us on a journey into the limits and possibilities of the brain. He suggests that we should acknowledge and embrace our desire for information and mental challenges, but try to find a balance between demand and capacity. Klingberg explores the cognitive demands, or "complexity," of everyday life and how the brain tries to meet them. He identifies different types of attention, such as stimulus-driven and controlled attention, but focuses chiefly on "working memory." Dr Klingberg asserts that working memory capacity, long thought to be static and hardwired in the brain, can be improved by training, and that the increasing demands on working memory may actually have a constructive effect: as demands on the human brain increase, so does its capacity.

Our lives are getting faster and faster. We are engulfed in constant distraction from email, social media and our 'always on' work culture. We are too busy, too overloaded with information and too focused on analytical left-brain thinking processes to be creative. Too Fast to Think exposes how our current work practices, media culture and education systems are detrimental to innovation. The speed and noise of modern life is undermining the clarity and quiet that is essential to power individual thought. Our best ideas are often generated when we are free to think diffusely, in an uninterrupted environment, which is why moments of inspiration so often occur in places completely separate to our offices.
To reclaim creativity, Too Fast to Think teaches you how to retrain your brain into allowing creative ideas to emerge, before they are shut down by interruption, distraction or the self-doubt of your over-rational brain. This is essential reading...

X, la plateforme sociale autrefois connue sous le nom de Twitter, a été vendue.

📚 The Art of Not Reading: Intellectual Discipline in the Age of Information Overload 📚

In my latest article I explore the intellectual discipline of selective reading—why indiscriminate consumption dilutes critical thinking, and how curating our intellectual intake leads to deeper comprehension and independent thought.
