”The human qualities being eroded are precisely those that evolved to help us navigate actual rather than virtual environments: skepticism, curiosity, stratification, discernment, the ability to tolerate uncertainty and contradiction. These cognitive tools, refined over millennia of engagement with an indifferent natural world, prove poorly adapted to an environment designed specifically to exploit our psychological vulnerabilities. We find ourselves like deep-sea creatures suddenly exposed to atmospheric pressure—our internal architecture collapsing under conditions we never evolved to handle.”
