ከአመት በፊት እኔ በመረጃ ፎረም ላይ በፅንሰ ሀሳብ ደረጃ ያቀረብኩት ፅሑፍ የ2024 ተዋቂ ቃል ተብሎ ተሰየመ፣ ሽልማት ሳላገኝ።

ማን እዚህ ላይ እንደተካተተ ና ማን እስከአሁን ከሊስቱ ዉጪ እንደሆነ ማወቅ ከፈለጋችዉ፣ ወደ እኔ ዞር በሉ፣ እገልፅላችዋለሁ።

ሀሳቡ የመጣልኝ ከድሮ የሕብረተሰባችን አባባል ላይ ተመስርቼ ነበር፣ ሰዉ የምበላዉን ይመስላል፣ ይላል አባባሉ።

እኔ ደግሞ እዚሁ ላይ ተመርኩዤ የጭንቅላትህ ጥራት፣ በኢንፎርሜሽን ምንጭህ ይመዘናል ብዬ ነበር።

ታዲያ እንኩሮን ስከታተሉ የነበሩና የዚህ ፎረም የተከበሩ አባል የነበሩት ላይ ምን ደረሰ? መልሱን ለእናንተ ትቼአለሁ።

But then I thought why somebody didn't come to the idea of "you are (even more of) what you consume as an information (source)".

If you lack a healthy nutrition, then that causes a physical (bodily) deficiency to you, if you lack an adequate source of information, then you will suffer a mental deficiency, like the professor here. You have to take care of what information source you may subscribe to in the era of ubiquitous and undifferentiated sources of information of the internet era.


‘Brain rot’ is defined as “the supposed deterioration of a person’s mental or intellectual state, especially viewed as the result of overconsumption of material (now particularly online content) considered to be trivial or unchallenging. Also: something characterized as likely to lead to such deterioration”.

Our experts noticed that ‘brain rot’ gained new prominence this year as a term used to capture concerns about the impact of consuming excessive amounts of low-quality online content, especially on social media. The term increased in usage frequency by 230% between 2023 and 2024.

The first recorded use of ‘brain rot’ was found in 1854 in Henry David Thoreau’s book Walden, which reports his experiences of living a simple lifestyle in the natural world. As part of his conclusions, Thoreau criticizes society’s tendency to devalue complex ideas, or those that can be interpreted in multiple ways, in favour of simple ones, and sees this as indicative of a general decline in mental and intellectual effort: “While England endeavours to cure the potato rot, will not any endeavour to cure the brain-rot – which prevails so much more widely and fatally?”
