I can definitely relate to your point about "the fact that this was chosen as the word of the year is driving me a bit mad. Why are we embracing the term “brain rot,” yet resisting change as a society?". There isn't a collective pressure to drive the alternative to brain rot and the systems and structures that are causing it. I've written a piece emphasizing the total opposite - brain nourishment - and that's where our focus should be.
The acceptance of "brain rot" as the word of the year is a stark reflection of how normalized this problem has become. It’s time to reject this mindset and focus on nurturing our minds!
