Mind Off

di Vytautas Giedraitis (Autore)

Vytautas Giedraitis, 2026

Are you tired of feeling helpless when the screen goes dark? In an age where we can summon any fact with a keystroke, why do we feel less capable than ever? We have traded our agency for convenience, becoming "Cognitive Misers" who let algorithms do our thinking. We feast on the empty calories of digital "Donuts"—comforting lies and quick fixes—while starving for the "Broccoli" of complex truth. In MIND OFF: How to Overcome Digital Laziness, Reclaim Competence, and Find Truth in the Age of Algorithms, Vytautas Giedraitis diagnoses this modern crisis as Competence Shame: the existential anxiety that arises when we lose our connection to physical reality. From the frustration of a mysterious "Check Engine" light to the toxic spiral of online mobs, Giedraitis exposes how our digital dependency is eroding our resilience and fueling aggression. But there is a cure. Enter "The Repair." This is not just another digital detox. It is a roadmap to reclaiming your mind and your hands. Diagnose the Signal: Learn to use "Slow Thinking" and the "5 Whys" to distinguish between noise and truth. Embrace JOMO: Discover the "Joy of Missing Out" and the clarity that comes from a 30-day "No Opinion" experiment. Get Your Hands Dirty: Reconnect with the objective world through physical action—because reality cannot be hallucinated. Grounded in the philosophy of Folkbildning (lifelong education) and the honest grit of the workshop, MIND OFF is a vital guide for anyone who wants to stop generating and start living. Turn off the noise. Turn on your mind.
