Eleven Irrational Behaviors With Technology

Heavy phone/social media addiction....while people crave for 'it'....showing mental problems. 

Irrational privacy complaints....while showing wiliness to share vast personal data.

Irrational fear of AI job loss.....while quickly adopting to AI tools.

Irrational trust based on 'facts', while showing marginal-to-no track record.

Irrational minor rule-breaking....while expecting others to follow the norms.

Irrationally expecting experts to be infallible on politicized topics....then seeming to ignore expert failures (COVID origins, economic forecasts, etc.).

Irrationally accusing the each other of "misinformation" while spreading their own selective framing.

Irrationally short-term emotional decision-making on long-term issues (retirement, health, family, national debt).....over and over.

Irrationally showing tribal loyalty to brands, sports teams, or subcultures.....that seem to have zero to no real evidence.

Irrationally expecting society to accommodate every individual preference without some type of trade-off.

Irrational pattern of knowing better (data on health, money, relationships, policy) yet acting against that knowledge due to emotion, status, convenience, or group belonging.
