Are you watching this on the toilet? I can’t believe I’m typing this, but a 24 year old man scrolled for 30 minutes, stood up, and collapsed. He's now paralyzed!!! Doctors are calling it BATHROOM SCROLL SYNDROME. I can’t make this stuff up. This is ridiculous. Stop taking your phone to the bathroom and SHIT IN PEACE. Here’s the scientific publication link for the article called: Smartphone use on the toilet and the risk of hemorrhoids https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12407481/ And one called: Toilet seat syndrome: renal failure, perineal gangrene, and sciatic neuropathy [https://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-9343(00)00752-X/fulltext](https://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-9343(00)00752-X/fulltext) And even a CNN article: https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/12/health/phones-on-toilet-wellness WE NEED TO DO BETTER!!

Gen Z is the first generation in history that is measurably less cognitively capable than their parents, and the research points directly at screen time as the primary cause. The good news is neuroplasticity works in both directions and a more intentional relationship with technology is enough to start reversing the damage. #SaharYousef #BecomingSuperhuman #DigitalWellbeing

Scrolling is producing measurable brain atrophy in areas tied to self-awareness and cognitive control, and the research shows it goes in both directions. Two habits that are actually reversing it: a phone parking lot that keeps the device out of sight for dedicated blocks every day, and finite scrolling sessions that cut the infinite feed off before it cuts into the brain. #SaharYousef #BecomingSuperhuman #DigitalWellbeing

AI can be a powerful cognitive co-pilot—but don’t let it do all the thinking for you. 🤔 UC Berkeley Haas Professional Faculty member @drsaharyousef explains why protecting your brain’s neuroplasticity means thinking and writing on your own before turning to AI. Your future self will thank you. #HaasAI #HumanEdgeofAI #BerkeleyHaas #UCBerkeley

Attention spans are not permanently destroyed and my students at UC Berkeley have been able to reverse the damage in just two months by simply changing their relationship with technology. Start with one thing: create a phone parking lot in your home or office and put it out of sight, out of reach, with notifications off every time you need to focus. #DrSaharYousef #BecomingSuperhuman #Neuroscience

The anxiety, stress, and depression tied to heavy app use was expected, but the actual brain atrophy showing up in scans of healthy young people was not. These are perfect, uninjured brains meeting the criteria for smartphone addiction, and the bar to qualify is lower than almost anyone realizes. #SaharYousef #BecomingSuperhuman #DigitalWellbeing

Burnout is not a willpower problem, it is a biology problem, and the research points to one missing variable in most people’s routines: complete psychological detachment. The 3M Framework breaks down the exact break structure the brain needs daily, weekly, and monthly to actually recover. #SaharYousef #BecomingSuperhuman #DigitalWellbeing

Every color, every icon, every flash of light on your phone has been optimized by a team of researchers to keep your eyes there. Turn the display to grayscale and the phone immediately looks dead. You’ll spend roughly one hour less on it every day. The phone didn’t change. Your brain just stopped getting paid to look at it.

History tends to repeat itself, and decades of advertising data already show where AI powered ads are headed. This is not broad demographic targeting anymore, it is custom built persuasion made for one brain at a time, and that shift changes everything about how attention gets captured. #SaharYousef #BecomingSuperhuman #DigitalWellbeing

Even a phone sitting silently on a table drains the cognitive presence of everyone around it, and most people have no idea it is happening. The habit feels harmless until the data shows what it is actually costing every conversation, every meal, and every person sitting across from you.

When you grab your phone and unlock it, what’s the first app you open? What’s the second? Third? That’s your app cycle and it’s important to notice when you’re in it!

At @sxsw, UC Berkeley Haas professional faculty members @drsaharyousef and @section_ai CEO Greg Shove faced off for a timely debate: Is AI your most powerful productivity tool… or a shortcut to cognitive decline? Sahar Yousef shared startling initial findings from new and unpublished research that serves as a warning about the impact of AI on our brains and our social well-being: • A large percentage of people are experiencing something called “cognitive surrender,” where they are opting out of thinking completely and letting AI drive their decisions. • Those who are already digitally addicted (e.g. to their smartphones or social media) are 30% more likely to “cognitively surrender” and become addicted to AI. • People who are more lonely and are missing a sense of purpose in their life are more likely to develop a maladaptive emotional connection to AI. Greg Shove, the CEO of an AI transformation company, made the case that AI is essential to business, but must be used in a way where human judgment and discernment remain in the driver seat. The session was completely packed as Shove and Yousef grappled with the existential, while also giving practical advice to keep your brain sharp and business competitive as AI permeates everything around us. The final photo features Shove, Yousef, and Lucas Miller (who co-teaches with Shove in the UC Berkeley Haas EMBA program). #SXSW2026 #AI #AIStrategy #FutureOfWork #Neuroscience

Ever miss your exit because you were deep in a podcast? That’s your biology telling you something. The human brain runs one focus channel at a time. Every switch costs you. Pick yours carefully.

The concept every person should understand before building AI into daily work is neuroplasticity.. the brain literally reshapes itself based on what it practices, and stops being good at what it stops doing. Offloading thinking to AI without pausing to think first is the same as never lifting the weight, and the atrophy follows just as predictably. #SaharYousef #BecomingSuperhuman #DigitalWellbeing

A digital detox with hundreds of students found cutting scrolling cold turkey doesn’t work. Replacing it does. One week the homework was blind dates, real questions for an hour. What you actually get from scrolling? Name it. Find one thing this week that gives you that from a person instead.

Humans are biologically wired to take shortcuts and AI is the ultimate shortcut for the one thing that makes us most human. Thinking. The alarm being sounded is not that AI exists, it is that the pull toward cognitive offloading is not a choice, it is biology, and most people are completely unaware it is happening. #SaharYousef #BecomingSuperhuman #DigitalWellbeing
