You think you're making choices on social media. You're not. You're being choice-architected into predictable behavioral loops by teams of psychologists, neuroscientists, and behavioral economists whose entire job is to make you do what they want without realizing you're being manipulated.

I need you to understand something: the apps on your phone aren't neutral tools. They're psychological architectures designed to break you apart and keep you consuming. And if you don't understand how they work, they'll dismember your capacity for genuine connection, sustained attention, and authentic empathy.
