Let's Talk: Choice Inflation
Details
We live in a world where decisions never seem to stop—what to watch, what to buy, which app to use, how to lead at work. Tools designed to “help” us choose often make things more complicated, not less. Between choicetech (the systems that shape our options), choice inflation (the sheer volume of decisions we face), and decision fatigue (the exhaustion that follows), it’s no wonder so many of us feel stretched thin.
This small group discussion, hosted by Remake The Rules, is a space to explore how these forces show up in daily life—at work, at home, and everywhere in between—and what it means to navigate choices in a world that rarely slows down.
Join for a thoughtful conversation about the costs of constant decision-making, the disappearance of old defaults, and how we might remake the rules for ourselves.
Possible prompts:
– Where do you feel the weight of too many choices most clearly?
– When has decision fatigue shaped a choice you made (or avoided)?
– Which old defaults do you miss, and which are you glad are gone?
– How does choicetech (apps, platforms, algorithms) make your decisions easier—or harder?
– What small habits or defaults help you preserve your energy?
Curious how choicetech, choice inflation, and decision fatigue shape your everyday life?
Ahead of our upcoming conversation, you’re invited to read this short piece from Remake The Rules, Choicetech, Choice Inflation, and the Disappearing Defaults of Modern Life.
It explores how these forces feed into one another, transform our relationship to information, and change what it means to decide well in modern life.
Read it before the meetup—or just come with curiosity.
