Looking for a cofounder for a “less information” movement

1 pointdamdamdamm2 comments

People are bombarded with too much information. Screens, news, and the media.

Our goal is to raise awareness about the amount of information that individuals consume.

Examine the state of your mind's hygiene. Instead of thinking, observe what your mind has taken in.

The movement already exists: https://www.humanetech.com/

Look up the founder, Tristan Harris, and you’ll find plenty of information. He has appearances on TED (the main one, not TEDx), Netflix documentaries, 60 Minutes, and a bunch more.

“This Panda is Dancing” (also by Tristan) is an interesting introduction to the philosophy: https://youtu.be/tf9ZhU7zF8s

I think the danger is memes, right? Their fitness is in how often people forward or upvote, not how helpful it is. Antivaxing is a meme, for example. What does it look like to have meme antibodies though? Are they just stronger memes pointing in the opposite direction?
