Core Thesis: Social media algorithms function as behavioral neurotoxins with population-level effects comparable to environmental pollutants. Just as lead and microplastics cross biological barriers to cause measurable cognitive harm, algorithmic attention capture crosses psychological barriers to cause measurable psychiatric harm. If we regulate lead because it damages children's brains, we should regulate infinite scroll because it damages children's brains.
