1: Discuss how limiting user agency in modern feeds, similar to the "restaurant without a menu," compares to traditional media choice, and why this design can lead to "brain rot".

2: In the Peking University study, why did swiping affect cognitive reflection more than watching a single long video? Discuss the difficulty of overriding your "gut response" when your brain is in autopilot.

3: Why does "unlimited swiping" cause a drop in performance on prospective memory tasks, while limited swiping does not? What does this mean for our long-term ability to remember our intentions?

4: Analyze William James' quote: "My experience is what I agree to attend to." How do short-form feeds hijack this "selective interest," and what could be the consequences of allowing them to determine our attention?

5: Can specific types of short-form content, such as anti-brain rot shorts, mitigate cognitive decline, or is the infinite scroll inherently harmful to our minds, regardless of the content? Discuss different perspectives.
