Before you continue: four quick checks
No grades, no scoreboard. Answer from memory, then reveal the answer to compare.
01Why do you start noticing more red cars after wanting one?Reveal
The SRAA filters the flood of stimuli through perceived relevance. By focusing on the red car, you teach your filter to highlight it—the number of cars in the world hasn’t changed, your focus has.
02Why is social media as addictive as a casino?Reveal
By the intermittent variable reward: sometimes the reward comes (a like, a notification), sometimes it doesn't. Uncertainty keeps the user waiting for the next dose of dopamine, like a slot machine.
03What’s the biggest cost of Shiny Object Syndrome?Reveal
Switching projects before finishing wastes resources, misses opportunities, and throws away the time of ramp-up — many beginnings, almost no conclusions. The defense is to filter ideas for alignment with the main goal.
04What changed in security in 2025, according to the track’s analysis?Reveal
Vulnerability shifts from technical to human. The defense moves from the network perimeter to cognitive defense — the firewall becomes a trained mind, a matter of cognitive literacy.
