<div>Hello, my name is Frank Altomare and I am fundraising the publishing costs for a treatise I have written on social media addiction &amp; the human brain titled "Infrastructural Psychosis: How Social Media is Re-Wiring Our Brains--And How To Fight Back"
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am going to begin releasing some recorded lectures on the concepts within Infrastructural Psychosis this week on my Patreon &amp; Youtube channel; I encourage you to come along for the ride as we discuss the biology &amp; neuroscience of social media addiction from a pragmatic social lens--how it affects your emotion, how it captures your attention, how it keeps you hooked, and what you can do about it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The treatise is broken into three parts:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Part One - The Biological Cost Of Consciousness - will delve into the biology of the brain &amp; body and elaborate on how screen technology and social media algorithms affect your attention &amp; decision-making architecture.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Part Two - Infrastructural Psychosis - is an indictment on social media algorithms and engagement metrics; It goes into detail on how social media companies, in a cynical attempt to generate more profit for the platform, are developing personalized algorithms that prioritize high-arousal negative and outrage-based content and how, as we enter into an increasingly digitally mediated social environment, they are creating a bifurcated psychosis in individual users to keep them engaging on the platform.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Part Three - The Cognitive Sovereignty Manifesto - is an appeal to reason; it will provide practical, real-world applications of neuroscience and philosophy to give readers the tools to break the operant conditioning of what I define as Psychosocial Hyper-parasitism - where social media companies are forcing your brain into reactive fear &amp; anxiety to shut down critical thinking and lock you into a cycle of social media engagement and outrage. As our shared digital space becomes more and more polarized, I am releasing this treatise with the hopes of potentially pulling us back from the brink of civil war.

<div>Stay tuned for the first lecture of many, with the hopes of generating enough interest to expand the treatise into a published work and spreading the message as far as humanly possible, thank you!
