YOUR PHONE GAVE YOU OCD — And Big Tech Is Counting on You Not Knowing

DIGITAL MONOPOLIES AND TECH ADDICTION: How social media algorithms manipulate human behavior, fuel smartphone dependency, and compromise the mental health of an entire generation. Understand the hidden economic interests behind "food comas" of endless scrolling, and how tech giants exploit user data to suppress competition. Breaking free from digital overstimulation is no longer just a productivity hack; it is a critical necessity for preserving your cognitive control, emotional well-being, and social connections.

In this video, we explore the sharp analysis of Scott Galloway on how corporations like Meta and Google formed massive tech monopolies that extract rents from society at the expense of public health. Discover the three common-sense regulatory solutions proposed to curb algorithmic manipulation—including antitrust enforcement, the removal of Section 230 protections for elevated content, and strict age-gating. Learn why a tech-free environment, much like the disciplined structure of the Naval Academy, might be the ultimate blueprint for reclaiming deep focus, high performance, and human connection in a hyper-connected world.
