In broad strokes, then we can get into real specifics.

In our previous conversation, we go into a lot of accelerated learning techniques.

I think AI has shifted us from thinking to outsourcing our thinking.

I talked about this in Limitless, even when it came out five years ago.

I talk about digital distraction.

I talk about digital dementia.

Our memories aren't as strong because we're relying on technology to remember things for us.

I talked about digital deluge, which is the overload and overwhelm, which AI... Now, some people are suggesting that the amount of information is doubling every 12 hours because just think about all the information, all the content, I feel like.

And so that...

Amount of information doubling at a dizzying speed is how we learn and retain it and understand it.

It hasn't grown a lot, so that growing gap creates a lot of challenges in terms of overload and information anxiety.

A term I coined was digital deduction, where we are outsourcing our thinking and your mind is like a muscle.

It's use it or lose it.

We've gone from remembering to searching for things.

We've gone from analyzing to everything is auto-completing for ourselves.

And AI is accelerating the answers, which is very convenient.

But I think it atrophies things.

The mental muscles required for focus, for problem solving, for innovation, for original thought.

It's like a technology is, if your office or your home is in the fourth floor, an elevator or a lift is a form of technology.

Very convenient.
