Jim Rutt defines 'psychotechnology' as a set of culturally evolved techniques, tools, and practices designed to enhance cognitive function, emotional regulation, and social interaction. These methodologies integrate ancient wisdom, modern psychological insights, and cutting-edge technology to cultivate mental clarity, emotional resilience, and interpersonal harmony. According to Rutt, psychotechnology encompasses both individual and collective practices aimed at optimizing human potential and fostering adaptive behaviors in a rapidly changing world. Whether through meditation, cognitive training, or the use of digital aids, these tools are instrumental in fostering a deeper understanding of the self and in facilitating more effective and meaningful interactions within society.
