What AI, Rage Bait, and Social Media Are Doing to the Human Mind
from The Journey Podcast · host Zachary Cummings, Jake Moscato, and John Scafiddi Jr.
In this episode, we break down how AI, algorithms, and social media are quietly rewiring how humans think. We talk about rage-bait content, OnlyFans culture, algorithm-driven extremes, and why authenticity no longer wins online. This conversation explores how attention is being manipulated, how relationships and mental health are being affected, and why society feels more polarized than ever. We also discuss the psychological cost of living inside algorithmic feeds and what this means for the future of human behavior.The Journey Podcast Merchhttps://thejourneypodcast.shopEXCLUSIVE AD FREE EPISODEShttps://www.patreon.com/c/TheJourneyPodSPOTIFY https://open.spotify.com/show/1nAbMP0dozKj6P76STCCHi?si=8edc41a753ec48faINSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/zacharycummings_https://www.instagram.com/thejourneypodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/johnscafiddijrTik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/thejourneypodcast__#thejourneypodcast #AI #Algorithms #SocialMedia #HumanBehavior #AttentionEconomy #MentalHealth #RageBait #OnlyFans #DigitalCulture #AIInfluence
