        <![CDATA[<p>Hype—any hype, but in this instance tech hype—only works because <strong>humans are fallible</strong>. We fall prey to quirks of the mind, real-world hacks which dilute our rational thinking and cause us to sink into a mire cynically crafted for us by bad actors who are more than willing to manipulate and trick others for their own gain. In this episode, <strong>I will explain to you some of these mind games: </strong>the heuristics, biases, and fallacies which are difficult for us to escape…even when we're being thoughtful and critical ourselves. <strong>Guard yourselves</strong> against endless capitalist hype cycles by strengthening your mind!
