Kaelric Vorne is the cognitive scientist who deliberately destroyed his own PhD research—twice. After spending a decade helping corporations manipulate human attention, he had what colleagues call his "intellectual breakdown": he realized the smartest people he knew were also the most miserable. Vorne made headlines when he quit his six-figure consulting career to study something most academics won't touch: the psychology of intentional ignorance. His radical thesis? That strategic stupidity might be humanity's next evolutionary leap. Born to a librarian and a neuroscientist, Vorne grew up drowning in information yet starving for wisdom. His unconventional research involves embedding with doomsday preppers, following emergency surgeons through life-or-death decisions, and studying why certain meditation masters seem immune to information overload. The results are shocking: people who carefully choose what NOT to know consistently outperform their over-informed peers in creativity, relationships, and mental health. Vorne practices what he preaches in extreme ways—he owns no smartphone, hasn't read news in three years, and claims to have "forgotten" his social media passwords permanently. Critics call him a charlatan; supporters say he's found the antidote to our hyperconnected hellscape. His work has sparked fierce debate in academic circles and corporate boardrooms alike. Some call his methods dangerous; others say they're desperately needed. What everyone agrees on: Kaelric Vorne has figured out how to think clearly in an age designed to scramble your brain.
