LinkedIn didn’t seem to like this post yesterday. Maybe it hit a little too close to home :D so I censored it ;)
As I was saying …
Platforms have learned to monetise emotion better than we can regulate it.

Seems like you have to b.l.e.e.d publicly to tickle the distribution of content.

I will prove it to you.
Apart from personally being annoyed by individuals who place a CTA at the end of an emotional post ...
😑😑😑
The problem is really deeper.
Platforms feed on human neurochemistry.
Every time we attend to something, we expand on cortisol & dopamine.
And whoever will control attention & emotions in the future … will control the neurochemistry of populations.
Example:
How we are rallied up by the pol_tical issues in the world.
↳ Whose stories circulate
↳ Whose emotions are validated
↳ Whose p_in is profitable
↳ Whose silence is allowed
This is neuro-pol_tics.
Where the collective attention goes (e.g., average hours on social media vs. in direct human contact) is a clear direction of priorities & power.
Teaching people how to regulate in a digital & AI space is getting extremely important.
Because our brain is “Paleolithic” but our environment is algorithmic.
