It's no secret that the dopamine industrial complex (Facebook, Google, Twitter, Netflix, Reddit, MSM etc.) want to hack your brain to extract your resources.

If you let them do this then you'll lose time, money, and a significant amount of happiness.

It's only natural to think that walking away entirely might not be a bad idea.

However, I think very few people actually do this though because they don't want to miss out on all the GOOD that these companies can bring you.

Connection with people, learning cool new stuff, and some genuinely entertaining content are a very real part of what these companies offer.

What if you could just take the good from them without letting in all the bad?

Well I believe that's possible if you follow these four rules:

1. Have other shit to do

This is the most important thing.

As long as you have more important stuff to focus on, you can easily set up your relationship with the dopamine industrial complex where YOU are taking advantage of THEM and not the other way around

It's only when you are addicted to their drugs and playing their game that you're going to be in trouble.

2. Limit your exposure to their feeds and notifications

Content feeds are where the algorithms lurk, looking to pull you down rabbit holes of AI generated manipulative suggestions.

Avoid the scroll through their feeds as much as you possibly can

Notifications are what they use to interrupt you and pull you into their world.

Mute them and only look at the apps when YOU decide to.

3. Follow a small number of individuals/communities and unfollow everyone else

Bypass the noise of the hacks and wannabes and just go to the best creators and communities.

Bookmark them individually and avoid the feeds to get to them when you want.

4. Wait until you hear about something to look it uP

Don't just scroll stuff waiting for something to grab your interest.

Wait until something is big enough hear from other people before you even give it your time.

If it's important, you won't have to go looking for it.

UYAP! (Unleash Your Apex Potential)
