DESCRIPTION:TOWNHALL: FROM DOOM SCROLL TO HOPE CORE\n\nWe’ve all heard the 
	diagnosis. Algorithms are rotting our brains\, shortening our\nattention s
	pans\, and turning us into passive consumers of an endless feed. But\nwhat
	 does the evidence actually say? And more importantly: what do we want to 
	do\nabout it?\n\nIn the last ten years\, the chronological timeline gave w
	ay to the algorithmic\nfeed\, and with it\, the way we think\, communicate
	\, and tell stories shifted with\nit. We consume more content than ever\, 
	but do we recognise what’s authentic\nanymore? And is there anything worth
	 saving in a life mediated by social media\,\nChatGPT\, and an app for eve
	rything?\n\nThese are the questions we’re bringing to Brainwash Festival. 
	As part of the\n“technology = god” programme strand\, we’re hosting a Town
	hall that asks: when\ndoes convenience become obedience\, and who’s actual
	ly in control?\n\n\nABOUT BRAINWASH FESTIVAL\n\nBrainwash Festival is the 
	place to be for thought-provoking ideas and visions of\nthe future. At Bra
	inwash Festival\, philosophers\, scientists\, artists and writers\ncome to
	gether to explore the big questions of our time and challenge the status\n
	quo. We bring together established figures and new voices. We celebrate\nt
	hinking\, doubt and your curiosity.\n\nBrainwash Festival 2026 takes up th
	e theme ‘the shape of us’ [https:]\, through\nwhich it explores\, from dif
	ferent perspectives\, what it means to live together.\n\nMore information
