Hola! My name's Robbie and I'm on a mission to help you reclaim your cognitive superpowers in a world designed to steal them.This is what the average day looks like:• over six hours online
• more than two hours on social media
• one hour watching short form video
• unlocking your phone eighty times
• ninety notificationsWhen you zoom out, you're looking at an average of 100 days spent online, 36 days on social media and 15 days watching short-form video...a year. Multiply that over a lifetime and you've got the greatest harvesting of human attention the world has ever known.We scroll social media instead of being social. We listen to podcasts instead of having conversations. We use meditation apps because we can't be still. We record seminal moments instead of experiencing them. We endlessly consume the lives of others instead of living our own.Is it a surprise we are less healthy, less happy and less connected?You are willingly sacrificing your cognitive superpowers to algorithms and companies selling you instant gratification and access to information.This isn't theoretical. You actually are less creative and less intelligent than you used to be. The good news is, you can fix it.The best thing to do is put down the phone and go outside.The second best thing to do is read Brainrot, my weekly newsletter:readbrainrot.com.
