Show notes

In this episode, Sanjay reflects on social media not as a neutral tool, but as a system carefully shaped to capture attention. Behind the endless scroll and fleeting validation lie designs built around human psychology, habit, and craving.Drawing from observation and lived experience, this episode explores how connection slowly turns into compulsion, how attention becomes currency, and how the need to be seen can quietly replace the need to be present. It is a meditation on awareness and choice in a world engineered to keep us looking but rarely feeling fulfilled.
