Ep. 25 - Are We Losing the Ability to Think? AI, Tribalism & the Death of Critical Thought

from People Fuss · host Carrie Prince and Doug Daniels

What if our brains are wired to jump to the wrong conclusion and the internet is making it worse? In this episode, Carrie and Doug sit down with executive coach and former psychiatrist Josh Gibson to unpack the decay of critical thinking, tribal media, AI shortcuts, and how to look where the light isn't. We get into System 1 vs. System 2 thinking (and why lazy brains love certainty), algorithms as our new editors, and if Ai is making us... dumber?! It’s thoughtful, funny, a little nerdy as usual, and Josh's big takeaway is a great one. Listen in!
