Power wants docile, intelligent engagement in harmony with its objectives. Eg. clickbait wants you to amplify to your vulnerable friends with an endorsement. Talking points sources would like you to learn, rehearse, and repeat them. Outrage bait seeks harmonic resonance.

In nature, we find energy conservation as a general principle of emergent organism design, but that's not what we're talking about here. This is energy defense. Take "battery", "inductor" and "capacitor" aspects of your psyche offline. Only your "resistor" side has a public API

This partitioning I think is very hard for a lot of people, which is why they go entirely offline (waldenponding). I like to take my energy circuits offline, but that doesn't mean I'm in low-energy conservation mode. It just means it's not available by default to others.
