I wonder if/how AI personal agents would be able to help in this regard, trained to spot when attention is being manipulated in a certain way and inform you of that. Like the sunk cost fallacy, which is also in that list, it can offer you a warning like: "You are entering a step by step procedure, this can trick your mind into finalizing the purchase even if you are not very committed yet." - or something like: "Prices and quantities in this list seem to be manipulated in a way that tricks your mind into buying more than you actually need." and similar like these.
