Beware decoys

CHChristopher HobsonAustralian National University

Key Points

Reality feels abstracted and simulated, creating challenges for individuals navigating information overload.
Many are overwhelmed by the constant stream of news stories, leading to a disorienting experience.
Focus on what to attend to becomes increasingly difficult in today’s media landscape.
The complexity of reality is often juxtaposed with world events, blurring the lines between real and simulated.

Abstract

Attending to the world feels like a constantly more challenging task. What to listen to? What to read? What to watch? Overwhelmed, dazed, collectively and individually we stumble from news story to news story. Stocks go up, bombs go down. Reality feels more abstracted and simulated, except for those constant reminders of the really real.
