Companies are strip mining our cognition in their quest to hold our attention. But it’s not an infinite resource and those organizations don’t price the destruction of cognition into their cost of doing business. They have every incentive to continue the destruction.

We’ll explore playful ways to use games and AI to build cognition and cancel biases.
