It’s an interesting point, but I’m not sure it can be done. Important issues tend to be complex, and I don’t think the split-second stimulus response mechanism can be harnessed to understand them. Yes, the traditional news organizations can switch to click-bait headlines, for instance (and they largely have) to get people to click on the articles in a speed-news way, for example, but that doesn’t enhance understanding.
Fundamentally, I think the split-second culture is unable to understand complexities, and I fear, empowered with such technologies, that the human experiment may be more-or-less over. Our neurology – honed for split-second flight-or-flight decisions for survival – just isn’t up for the task at hand.
