About this episode

Are digital screens and modern shortcuts secretly making us dumber?Cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath joins Tomi to reveal a shocking scientific milestone: Gen Z is the first generation in recorded history to underperform their parents on every major cognitive measure—including IQ, memory, and attention. Dr. Horvath breaks down how laptop-centered classrooms sabotage memory, why outsourcing our thinking to AI and tech is destroying critical skills, and the hidden dangers of the internet's viral "self-diagnosis" trend where healthy people mistake normal human emotions for disorders like autism. This is a massive wakeup call for parents, educators, and anyone looking to reclaim their cognitive grit and step away from the digital delusion. Learn more about your ad choices.
