AI as a cognitive environment: The Your Normal Mind Concept

The text analyzes the tension between the breadth of digital networks and the depth of real bonds, referring to Dunbar's number and Social Baseline Theory. The author indicates that technology is not merely an external tool, but a human-constructed niche that evolves faster than our biology. A key element of adaptation becomes the conscious design of one's own digital environment rather than relying solely on willpower. The article also draws attention to the problem of algorithmic validation: content distribution systems distort social signals, leading to the misinterpretation of a lack of response as a lack of interest. In this context, the role of the 'Mahout' is to understand the system's architecture in order to more effectively manage one's own well-being and cognitive processes.
