Your Therapist Needs Therapy 136 - Why Are We All So Dumb?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week Jeremy tackles the rising tide of anti-intellectualism, and tries to bring some nuance to the conversation of “expertise.” Is the Internet making us dumber? Not really. Is AI making us dumber? For sure! But the reality of tools is they often reflect the user, and we are left with the fact that the human brain is prone to erroneous shortcuts, and critical thinking is a skill that requires regular practice.
As always, Jeremy has all his practice info at Wellness with Jer, and you can find him on Instagram and YouTube. To show your love for the show you can pick up some merch! We appreciate support from likes, follows, and shares as well! None of my online work would be possible without my media maven Kenny, so check out their work as well at kenlingdesign.com
If this episode stirred up a feeling of mental fatigue or overload, that’s exactly why my great collaborator Emily and I are hosting Rest & Return: A Weekend for Soft Landings. This retreat is designed to let your nervous system settle and come back to yourself. It’s rest, grounding, and trauma-informed connection instead of more noise.
