Digital Colonisation of the Mind: How to Survive in the Age of the Information Tsunami
-
40 min
Many of us are familiar with “digital stress”, when relentless streams of information drag us into a valley of fatigue and hopelessness. If Big Brother once merely observed, now he fully and continuously rents out our minds for his manipulations — flooding them with clutter, spiced up with “new values” and “dopamine boosts”.
In this talk, we will explore:
-
What consequences this brings and how to cope with them.
-
How the very notion of “understanding information” is changing.
-
The difference between controlling AI as a tool and being controlled by it.
-
Whether we need a “digital soul of the company”.
-
And whether our emotions can be a rational key to the mind.
Together, we will navigate these depths.
