Are your thoughts your own? f you can't tell the difference between your own thoughts and the algorithm, you've lost the most important asset you own: your own mind. Reclaiming it is as easy as just pushing yourself into a bit of discomfort and quiet. 

This video is a quick dive into the lost art of processing and digestion—the gap of time that used to be essential for forming your own deeply held principles. The modern feed is designed to eliminate that gap, replacing your original thoughts with rapid-fire firmware updates.

The risk is even higher in 2026, as a vast amount of the content is now a simulation of human thought—AI models generating noise to maximize engagement. We are unknowingly absorbing this simulation, and it’s showing up in our heads wearing our own voice.

We explore the path back:

The difference between processing (digestion) and mere input (ingestion).
Why the inability to disagree is making us profoundly fragile.
The concept of the Neaton, or 'sacred grove'—the clearing in your mind that must be protected.
Simple, actionable steps to reclaim your inner life by choosing intention over the endless scroll.
If you are ready to fight the phone and remember what it feels like to have a thought that didn't come from a server, hit subscribe.
