This document discusses the science behind nudging consumers into making better life choices through persuasive design techniques rooted in neuroscience, behavioral economics, and other fields. It acknowledges that while persuasive design is still being developed and is not always effective, designers now have knowledge of human biases that allow them to either ignore biases and shape behavior arbitrarily, openly participate to achieve responsible outcomes, or quietly manipulate behavior for commercial gain. The document advocates for corporate social responsibility and aligning profits with preferable outcomes for all rather than just undermining basic capitalism or profits. It encourages formulating a public ethical framework to guide the use of persuasive techniques.
