The TikTok Reversal And The Science Of Illogical Medical Decisions

In March 2024, the U.S. government made headlines by moving to ban TikTok, the popular social media platform owned by China-based ByteDance. The decision was based on national security concerns and received overwhelming bipartisan support from Congress. The Supreme Court later upheld the ban, causing TikTok to go dark across the country on January 18.

However, within 24 hours, TikTok mysteriously reappeared online, and President Trump announced a 75-day delay in enforcement, promising to “work something out.” This sudden reversal left many lawmakers who had previously supported the ban in a state of silence, without offering any explanation or criticism of the decision.

The shift in perception towards TikTok raised questions about how intelligent individuals can make seemingly irrational decisions. Neurologist George York’s research on “brainshift” sheds light on this phenomenon, explaining how people’s perception can become distorted in moments of significant threat or opportunity.

The debate around Generative AI in healthcare reflects a similar pattern of distorted perception. Despite the technology’s potential to save lives and improve patient outcomes, policymakers and medical professionals remain fixated on its risks rather than its benefits. This skewed perception overlooks the staggering toll of human errors in medicine, which contribute to hundreds of thousands of deaths each year in the U.S.

The controversial approval of Aduhelm, an Alzheimer’s drug, by the FDA in 2021 further exemplifies how brainshift can impact decision-making. Despite strong opposition from independent experts and limited evidence of its effectiveness, the drug was approved, highlighting the influence of fear and reward on perception.

To break the cycle of brainshift in healthcare and politics, it is essential to recognize how it distorts decision-making and leads to unintended consequences. Seeking diverse perspectives, embracing critical feedback, and enforcing transparency in data and decision-making processes can help mitigate the effects of brainshift and lead to better outcomes for society.

By addressing and understanding the mechanisms of brainshift, we can make more informed decisions that prioritize the well-being and safety of individuals. The integration of this knowledge into policymaking and healthcare practices will be crucial in navigating complex issues and ensuring the best possible outcomes for all.
