In this YouTube short, the speaker explains the psychological concept of negativity bias—the brain’s tendency to prioritize threat-related information over safety cues, an adaptation that once aided human survival. The speaker argues that in today’s information-saturated environment, this bias fuels a "war on our attention" because fear‑based and often fake content spreads far more rapidly than calm, factual information. The clip concludes with a call for personal discernment and responsibility when sharing information, urging viewers to recognize the bias and curb the rapid propagation of fear‑driven misinformation.
