Creating new positive social feedback loops in opposition to the dopamine-driven negative social feedback loops.

What is the Positive Social Feedback Loops? Positive Social Feedback Loops enhance or amplify changes in social life in a positive way. Now that our life is always surrounded by notifications, but I feel it is social noises!

Too much is Nothing

One of the problems of these is too much. The Internet rewrites our brain as distractive, so we cannot focus on one thing. We cannot read a book, do meditation because of the smartphone.

Our Working Memory decides how to do or what information should be stored in your brain. But this executive function in your brain is occupied by massive information from your phone.

Checking Likes is a kind of new ADDERALL!

But much more serious problem is mental health.

Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, News App, and even dating app. We are checking our phone every 3minutes. Is that truly good? According to some research, some social media have negative impacts on Sleep, Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), and Cyberbullying, Anxiety, and Depression. These apps are based on psychology to let them be addictive to the contents.

Social Justice is gone. Justice is not a concept we read about in a book. Justice is about making the world a better place. Social Media companies are now money grubber.

Creating Positive Social Feedback Loops

The point is to create Positive Social Feedback Loops. 13 million videos are uploaded a day on TikTok, but some of these are harmful and inappropriate. Pursuing your Likes is not your life.

Nao is a new social app where people create positive feedback with each other. Not only spitting out but also reflect on your feelings gives positive effects to your mind. Nao is designed to create positive social feedback loops based on cognitive science.

Our app will launch soon. See you there!
