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/fulltext00752-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

Everyone assumes we adapt to screens with practice. The reading research says the opposite has happened. A meta-analysis in Educational Research Review pooled 54 studies covering 171,055 people, comparing how well the same material was understood on paper versus on a screen. Paper won, which by now is not surprising. What should be surprising is what the authors found when they sorted the studies by publication year: the paper advantage GREW over time rather than shrinking! It was worse under time pressure, and it showed up for informational and expository text while disappearing for narrative. Stories survive the screen. Twenge's 2026 analysis of PISA scores across 36 countries found that after 2012, math, reading and science scores fell, and they fell hardest in the countries where students spent the most leisure time on devices during the school day. Loneliness at school climbed on the same map, steeply in the high-device countries and hardly at all in the low-device ones. But the mechanism underneath all of it is neuroplasticity, and neuroplasticity has no memory of what it did last year. It gives you back whatever you keep asking it for. That's why this is not a life sentence for anyone. Read one hard thing on paper this week. Under no time pressure. See what happens

One of the most striking studies ever seen in this field brought hundreds of high performers into a lab, powered their phones completely off, and split them into three groups based on where the phone was located. Scores on attention, memory, and fluid intelligence dropped measurably as the phone got closer, and the researchers concluded that the mere presence of a phone reduces brain power even when it is off and face down. #SaharYousef #BecomingSuperhuman #DigitalWellbeing

You're taking breaks and you're still burned out. That's because the quality of the break matters more than the quantity. Your brain needs complete psychological detachment — something demanding enough to force your mind into the present moment. The Three M Framework gives you three tiers of recovery: daily, weekly, and monthly. Skip any one and your brain never fully recharges.

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

Unproductive mornings are not a discipline problem they are a biology problem and once you understand your chronotype, your energy peaks, and how to protect them, everything changes. Your biology is not the enemy, it is the most powerful productivity tool you have and learning to work with it instead of against it is the difference between surviving your day and actually dominating it. #DrSaharYousef #BecomingSuperhuman #Neuroscience

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 cognitive neuroscientist's test: ask someone a question, watch their hands. Reach for AI before a thought forms, that's cognitive surrender. Struggling through a problem yourself is how your brain learns. Skip it and that skill fades. Try one minute on your own first. Then compare notes with AI.

Raw dogging boredom is not just a trend, the research backs it completely and the recommendation is to start today. Most people are in a boredom deficit right now and the insight, creativity, and self awareness that only show up in silence are getting lost to the scroll. #SaharYousef #BecomingSuperhuman #DigitalWellbeing

This April, the same Finnish group published a paper arguing that the modern playground is the problem. Their case: artificial turf, rubber matting, and sealed surfaces have turned playgrounds into microbial deserts, right at the age when a child's immune system is trying to learn what to fight. A few years earlier, they ran the whole thing again as a placebo-controlled, double-blinded trial, but this time with sandboxes! One group got playground sand enriched with microbially diverse soil. The other group got sand that looked exactly the same, but was microbially poor. Nobody, not the kids, not the staff, knew which was which. The living-sand kids shifted their skin bacteria and their immune markers moved toward regulation. The placebo kids didn't. A placebo-controlled trial. On dirt. I love these people. All studies linked in the comments! My real science take is that these are small trials and the biomarkers are being tested over weeks. Nobody has shown that a forest floor at daycare prevents an actual disease diagnosis twenty years later. Still, think about what we actually did here. We spent forty years making childhood cleaner, smoother, and more indoors, and the immune-mediated conditions went UP. I had a doctor once explain to me that a kid's immune system is like a security guard who has never met anybody. If you don't give it faces and people to learn, it can start taking shots at pollen, at peanuts, at the kid's own tissue. If you are lucky enough to have a yard, remember it's free. Your local park is free. Let them get filthy. Kids are washable. 🌱

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

A generation that never has to think hard, sit with discomfort, or work through a difficult problem is a generation whose critical thinking muscle is quietly atrophying and AI is making that easier than ever to let happen. The same reason the body needs to carry heavy weight is the exact reason the brain needs to be pushed, and that reframe is what changes how AI gets used. #SaharYousef #BecomingSuperhuman #DigitalWellbeing

1. FRICTION. Milyavskaya and Inzlicht followed students across a whole semester with repeated check-ins. Effortful resistance was consistently UNRELATED to whether people hit their goals. What predicted success was running into fewer temptations in the first place. Discipline mostly looks like a life with less to resist in it. 2. INBOX FIRST. Two million standardized tests, 570,000 Danish schoolkids. Every hour later in the day a test was taken cost about 0.9% of a standard deviation in performance. When your brain feels like a clean slate, don't muddy it with other people's noise. Focus on YOUR SIGNAL FIRST. 3. TASK SWITCHING. Sophie Leroy called it ATTENTION RESIDUE. When we switch tasks, part of our attention stays welded to the last thing, and it is worse when you leave it unfinished, which is exactly what every email you read and don't answer is. In a two-week trial, capping email at three checks a day with alerts off took 124 adults from about 12 checks to about 5, and their daily stress dropped. 4. PEAK WINDOW. Researchers tested athletes' endurance at six different times across the day. Performance swung by as much as 26% depending on when they were tested. The single best predictor was hours since their natural wake time. Your peak travels with your biology, not with the office schedule.

Everyone's racing to offload more to AI. I get it, the pull toward ease is human, it's evolutionary. But the brain is a muscle, and a muscle you stop using atrophies. These 3 rules are how I maintain high performance without quietly losing the ability to think for myself. Steal them. Which one are you worst at?

Your attention span isn't gone. It's been trained in the wrong direction by a decade of scrolling, and now AI is making it worse. My students at UC Berkeley reversed measurable cognitive decline in eight weeks with one change: a phone parking lot. Out of sight, out of mind, notifications off, out of reach. The brain does the rest if you let it.

Being wrong on purpose turns out to be a memory technique, and there's a study that separates it cleanly from just learning the right answer. Kornell, Hays and Bjork ran it in 2009. They gave people word pairs to learn, and one group simply studied each pair while the other group had to GUESS the second word first, knowing they would almost certainly be wrong, and only then got shown the correct answer. The guessers remembered more later, and the failed guess is the reason! We also have something called the GENERATION EFFECT. Slamecka and Graf showed back in 1978 that words you produce yourself are remembered better than the identical words handed to you on a page. So those five extra seconds are doing something amazing as it relates to learning. You generate an answer, which is the part your memory actually holds onto, and only then do you compare it against something better than what you came up with. Write your version first. Then hand it over and tell it to come at you.

Teaching three things in the Mind, Machine, and Meaning course at UC Berkeley that most people are not doing with AI but should be. Dictate instead of type to give the full context the work actually needs, think before prompting so critical thinking stays sharp instead of anchoring to the first answer, and red team every major decision by telling AI to assume the thinking is wrong and find the blind spots. #SaharYousef #BecomingSuperhuman #DigitalWellbeing

Pilots ran this experiment for us forty years ago and we should have been taking notes. The FAA estimates commercial pilots are on automation for about 90% of flight time. A 2016 DOT inspector general report went through what that costs. It cites a study where experienced airline pilots scored BELOW FAA standards on basic manual flying maneuvers. Most of those pilots claimed they hand-flew regularly. They rated their own manual skills higher than their actual performance. Back in 1983 a researcher named Lisanne Bainbridge wrote the paper on this, "Ironies of Automation," and in it she said, the human is asked to sit and monitor for hours, then take over the second the machine fails. That is the moment demanding the most skill, handed to the person with the least recent practice. One correction to what I said on camera: I said we are seeing physical changes in the brain from AI use. Let me be more clear on what I mean: The now famous MIT Media Lab study that put EEG caps on 54 people writing essays found weaker, less distributed brain connectivity in the ChatGPT group, plus most of them could not quote the essay they had just finished. That is brain ACTIVITY over a few weeks. Studies on structural changes have not been published, and I should not have said physical. Now back to pilots, I am lucky to have 2 pilots in the family and the fix for this is simple. ACTUALLY FLY. ON PURPOSE. While the autopilot is sitting right there working fine. Use it or lose it, folks. Pick one thing today you could obviously hand to AI, and do it yourself anyway. Bainbridge (1983). Ironies of automation. Automatica, 19(6), 775-779.
