What helps:
• Delay your reactions
• Check multiple sources
• Question emotional triggers
• Remember: urgency often serves someone

Our brains won't evolve faster.
But our habits can.

This creates blind spots:
• We trust what's repeated
• We believe what's emotional
• We share what's shocking
• We remember what's scary

Perfect for survival.
Terrible for truth-seeking.

The hard truth:
Our brain's verification system was built for:
"My friend told me there's a lion nearby"

Not for:
"Anonymous source says worldwide conspiracy"
Yet we're using same tools for both.

Think about our ancestors:
• News traveled at walking speed
• Information was verifiable
• Sources were known
• Context was clear

Today:
• Instant global news
• Unknown sources
• Missing context
• Infinite scrolling

Key principles:
• Core features must be obvious
• Advanced features must be discoverable
• Each layer should feel natural
• Navigation must be clear

It's not about hiding complexity.
It's about managing it.

Why it matters:

• Reduces cognitive load
• Builds user confidence
• Enables feature discovery
• Scales with expertise
