IJB?

Why are we so amnesic? So easy to spin and manipulate?

Partly, we've been dumbed down to being mere consumers, no longer citizens.

Partly, we lack a shared memory, an artifact we can curate together as we learn more and refer to later. All our tools add to the info-flood, which is drowning us. Your daily info-flow includes some or all of email, texts, Slack, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, news feeds, Pinterest, TV, radio, podcasts, vlogs and Twitter, many of which are specifically engineered to addict you.

No wonder we're addled.

Inside Jerry's Brain -- IJB -- is a curated space for conversations that matter.

Here we'll add to the flow (sorry!) while improving the context. For now, I'm the main curator, mostly because I'm using mind-mapping software called TheBrain, which doesn't lend itself to collaborative creation.
