## Resource

Social media addiction was not an accident. Infinite scroll, autoplay, and the attention economy were built to capture your focus, spike anxiety, and keep you scrolling. In this episode of Dangerous Intellectuals, former federal agent and author Cara Chace breaks down The Social Media Burnout Cure — and why screen time, echo chambers, and algorithm burnout are a civil-society problem, not just a personal one. Chace shows how constant scrolling damages mental health and presence, then offers a real path to unplug, digital detox, and take your attention back without disappearing.
