summary

Design fiction proposes an Anti-Influence Engine that logs every advert exposure (visual, emotive, even scent), then applies behavioral retraining: push/pull swipe retraining during interactions, nightly replay with aversive pairings, and optional smell-replay modules. It rests on evidence like the mere exposure effect and subliminal conditioning. Implementation is partial only—software nudges are feasible now, scent hardware is costly, and ethics, consent and misuse risks remain unresolved.
