Mind Matter is an educational Chrome extension that blocks blacklisted sites, granting access only if a trivia question is answered correctly. It deters excessive use of distracting websites while helping users to reinforce their knowledge.

### Rationale

The psychologist Daniel Kahneman describes two systems of thinking. According to [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thinking_Fast_and_Slow), "'System 1' is fast, instinctive, and emotional; 'System 2' is slower, more deliberative, and more logical."

Surfing the Internet tends to be unproductive. The objective of *Mind Matter* is to disrupt cognitive ease and force users to perform system 2 thinking.
