BOSTON, MA, UNITED STATES, January 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — A new iPhone app, Cognitive Fitness, has officially launched with an ambitious goal: to help people across the political and ideological spectrum improve their critical thinking skills and reduce the impact of partisan bias in everyday life.

Designed for everyone, the Cognitive Fitness app provides practical tools and mental exercises aimed at strengthening reasoning, intellectual humility, and awareness of cognitive biases—skills increasingly necessary in a polarized media and political environment.

“At a certain point, worrying about the political environment without doing anything about it just becomes exhausting,” said the app’s creator. “I always believed that if you can’t or won’t do anything about the political environment, don’t waste your life worrying about it. Well, I can’t stop worrying about it, so I chose to do something about it by creating this app.”

Rather than promoting specific political views or ideologies, Cognitive Fitness focuses on how people think, not what they think. The app helps users identify logical fallacies, recognize emotional reasoning, and develop habits of clearer, more independent thought—skills that apply equally to news consumption, social media, workplace discussions, and personal decision-making.

At a time when misinformation, outrage cycles, and tribal thinking dominate public discourse, Cognitive Fitness positions itself as a practical and accessible solution for individuals who want to think better, disagree more constructively, and regain agency over their own beliefs.

About the Creator

Dr. Bo Bennett holds a PhD in social psychology and is the author of numerous books on critical thinking and rational thought, including the best-selling book Logically Fallacious. His work focuses on cognitive bias, reasoning errors, and the psychological mechanisms that shape belief formation.

In addition to the app, Dr. Bennett has launched a Cognitive Fitness YouTube channel, where he uses the app in real time to analyze and discuss contemporary issues. Topics include current political hot-button issues, morality, religious belief, conspiracy theories, social issues, and other areas where critical thinking is often challenged.

Availability

The Cognitive Fitness app is now available on the Apple App Store.

About Cognitive Fitness

Cognitive Fitness is a mobile application dedicated to strengthening critical thinking skills, reducing cognitive bias, and encouraging healthier engagement with complex social and political topics. Built for everyday users—not academics—the app treats better thinking as a skill that can be trained, practiced, and improved over time.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, UNITED STATES, January 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Aquelyst develops environmental and molecular remediation solutions using aqueous catalyst technologies designed to interact with odor-causing compounds at a chemical level. The company’s Duo Equine solution applies this technical approach within equine facilities, positioning it as a horse stall odor eliminator focused on compound neutralization rather than fragrance masking or biological intervention.

Aquelyst applies aqueous catalyst–based remediation technologies designed to interact with odor-causing compounds in managed environments. The solution scope focuses on addressing residual organic compounds and environmental byproducts commonly present in animal housing and agricultural settings. It is intended for use in barns, stables, and animal care facilities as part of routine maintenance practices. The technology does not rely on fragrance masking, real-time monitoring, or automated operational control.

The system utilizes molecular-level interaction to facilitate compound neutralization through controlled chemical processes. Its formulation is designed to support compound breakdown and environmental stabilization without introducing reactive masking agents. Application is manual and surface-based, allowing integration into existing cleaning and maintenance workflows while maintaining a consistent, non-mechanized remediation approach.

Aquelyst applies a source-level remediation approach that supports greater environmental stability by addressing odor-related compounds at a chemical interaction stage rather than treating surfaces alone. This method promotes consistency in managed environments where organic residues accumulate over time. By focusing on compound interaction instead of sensory masking, the system aligns with barn odor control practices that prioritize process clarity and controlled environmental management without implying performance outcomes.

The solution may be applied across a range of managed environments where organic compounds contribute to persistent odors. Typical use cases include horse barns, stables, animal care facilities, and agricultural spaces where routine cleaning and environmental maintenance are required. It can also be used in shared or enclosed animal housing areas as part of standard upkeep protocols. Applications are informational in nature and do not imply automated control, continuous treatment, or guaranteed environmental conditions.

Aquelyst solutions are not designed to perform real-time system adjustments, operate mechanical equipment, or execute environmental controls. The technology does not provide personalized recommendations, automated decision-making, or direct operational management. Application and frequency remain user-directed and are intended to complement existing maintenance practices rather than replace established facility management processes.

The technology framework is grounded in established principles of aqueous catalyst chemistry and molecular remediation research applied across industrial and environmental contexts. Development draws on internal formulation expertise and documented chemical interaction models rather than external data feeds or monitoring systems. Within equine environments, this foundation supports use as a stall odor neutralizer integrated into routine facility care without reliance on connected infrastructure.

Aquelyst continues to focus on science-driven remediation approaches that emphasize chemical interaction, environmental responsibility, and controlled application across managed spaces. The company’s work reflects an ongoing interest in refining formulation methods and exploring additional use environments where molecular remediation principles may be applicable. Future efforts are expected to remain research-led and adaptive, supporting broader applications while maintaining clear operational boundaries and regulatory alignment.

New guide explains why long ChatGPT chats slow down and how to restart them safely using summaries and projects

PORTLAND, OR, UNITED STATES, January 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — CompanionLink Software has published a new in-depth article explaining how professionals can restart long ChatGPT conversations while preserving workflow, context, and productivity. The article addresses a growing problem faced by office workers who rely on ChatGPT for extended work sessions.

“People assume ChatGPT is slow because the model is overloaded,” said Wayland Bruns, CEO of CompanionLink Software. “In reality, the slowdown usually comes from the user interface trying to manage extremely long conversations. Once users understand that, restarting a conversation becomes a powerful productivity tool instead of a disruption.”

As ChatGPT conversations grow longer, users often experience slow typing, delayed copy-and-paste actions, and frequent “retry” errors. Many assume these problems come from the AI model itself. The new article explains that the primary cause of slowness is the ChatGPT user interface, which must load and manage the entire conversation in the browser or desktop app.

The article outlines how ChatGPT processes conversations on the backend. Each reply rebuilds context from stored text rather than maintaining a continuous memory stream. As conversations grow, both the interface and backend must process more information at once. This creates a practical ceiling where conversations become unstable and inefficient.

CompanionLink’s guide introduces a structured workflow for restarting conversations safely. It explains how to recognize when a conversation has reached its practical limit, how to ask ChatGPT for a structured summary, and how to transfer only essential information into a new conversation. The article also covers using ChatGPT Projects, clear naming, and summaries to organize long-term work.

By treating conversation restarts as a planned step rather than a failure, users can maintain fast response times and clearer focus. The article positions summaries and organization as tools that turn ChatGPT into a reliable productivity system rather than a fragile chat interface.

This guide is intended for office workers, managers, and professionals who use ChatGPT daily for planning, writing, analysis, and technical work. The steps outlined can be applied immediately without plugins or external tools.
