This hits home for me, i I find it sad that so many members of society are so addicted to scrolling. Its as if we all had a version of "the entertainment" from infinte jest in our pockets. DFW envisioned this future and its chilling just how accurate he was. I suspect at some point in the not so distant future that social media addiction will be treated like drug addiction is now.

one of my most productive classes was intro to psychology. I took it my junior year of high school and i NEEDED it. it changed the way i thought about myself, the perception of myself, and the world. myself WITHIN this world. it gave me confidence and i tied that confidence to knowledge. i told myself that the only true way to be free from this society is to have knowledge, to have a 3D understanding of our history and our world. we need more advanced classes to cover the many nuances within our society.

When I was 11, I wrote an essay where I suggested that artists are the modern-day shamans. Without any formal framework, I noticed that artists seem to have a unique ability to see beyond the surface, challenge the norm, and express deeper truths about life. Like shamans, they offer insight by questioning the status quo and encouraging new ways of thinking. This perspective made me think about the impact of industrialization. In a society focused on specialization, people are often confined to narrow roles, which can support systems of inequality. In this context, art has the ability to reveal these dynamics and remind us of our shared humanity.

For anyone who has issues with scrolling constantly, I recommend only using the apps/sites that distract you on the weekend (or whenever you have regular days off). During the school/work week there's magazines, books, radio, music, and podcasts (*not* on KZbin) that can entertain/educate you without as much danger for addictive algorithms and endless scrolling. I've also found that once you've done a social media/KZbin detox for 1-2 weeks, you start to realize what actually care about and how much of your feed is just fluff you'll easily forget if you never see it again. Cut out the fluff and look forward to the interesting stuff during your designated scroll time. Then it feels like a treat. It's like dessert; it's not inherently bad, you just can't have too much every day.

Robin, you've identified the problem yet you're not solving it as you're still posting on these social media channels, making your own contribution to said problem, and keeping other people hooked on the apps. I know you're argument will be that it's your livelihood, it's how you make your money but that's exactly the trap they have you in. Thinking about it more, if everyone started to do what you propose in this video: just posting on social media and not viewing anything, it would essentially render the whole thing useless, creating a sort of void where everyone is talking but no one is listening. The only solution is a mass rejection of social media; everyone needs to stop scrolling and stop posting. Unlikely to happen, but I do have this inkling that a lot of people are fed up and want to revolt against this. You're on the right lines, you just need to be a bit more radical.

Well that’s not the solution, since a lot of good channels are on KZbin which provide really good info. Not to mention the video format which is far superior to audio in many cases.
@ARTHOVSEКүн бұрын
@ when I say social media I mean more instagram, tiktok, etc. KZbin is arguably not strictly social media but I think in recent years they’ve pandered to that side more with the addition of shorts. I’m undecided currently as to whether KZbin is part of the problem.
@AzureTheWolf-l6uКүн бұрын
@@ARTHOVSE Oh, understood. KZbin has pandered more to that side, but a lot of people (myself included) just ignore shorts altogether, KZbin can be educational if you make it be. I don't think KZbin is part of the issue as it has some good educational content on there amid all the brainrot. Other social media platforms aren't like that, they focus more on making the person addicted rather than providing value.

Your brain will find a way to justify “deleting” the app, soon. It’s human nature you restrict it, it will do anything to break out. The world has changed dramatically since the “discovery” of the blind GPTs. The genie is out and can’t be put back in. I believe we are at the beginning of a tectonic shift in human evolution; learning, understanding, truth etc are all becoming “irrelevant”. We will be no longer interested in those “things”.

Some years ago I noticed I had lost my ability to focus, and as a sort of defense mechanism I started telling myself "Oh, I'll just read this book more attentively next time", "oh, I can watch this movie again and pay attention for real". Then I realised, that was never going to happen unless I made a real effort. The world is never coming back to what it was before smartphones and social media hijacked our brains and fundamentally altered how our minds work. All I can do is look out for myself. So I try to make a conscious effort every single day to live like I did in the early 2000s. I stopped watching TV regularly in 2006, so I figured I could pull this off too. I got rid of as much social media as possible (can't fully abandon youtube or whatsapp). When I go to sleep at night I leave my phone in another room. I designated a spot at home to sit and read a book every day. When I sit down to watch a movie I try to make the experience as immersive as possible. I feel I'm making progress but every now and then I still catch myself pulling my phone out of my pocket for no reason as if I just had to look at it. It's scary.

Online life is fake. All it takes is for your phone or computer to die out and it instantly snaps you back to reality. These names on a screen care nothing about you! We have to get that through our heads. Even those with whom we have online "friendships", if there's some type of disagreement (like happens in ALL real relationships) all they have to do is "unfriend"/block/delete you. (Or whatever the specific term for that is these days.)
@AzureTheWolf-l6u2 күн бұрын
For someone like me who hasn’t had many friends irl for a long time, it does somewhat help alleviate that need, but it’s only temporarily. You are right that people really don’t care about you when it’s online, people I’ve met on discord and other social platforms over the years eventually forgot about me after something inevitably happened and I drifted away from them. I’ve rarely had something like you describe where we get into a disagreement and the friendship ends, it’s more that we generally get tired of talking to each other so often and drift apart, or something else happens to either of us which makes talking consistently a lot harder, and it goes away on it’s own. Another thing, from my experience, online relationships do not work. They are mostly built on insecurity and lust, not compatibility. There’s not much of a deep connection you can build when you’re both incredibly far apart from each other. And it always will end in the same way: one of you finds some problem in the relationship or gets tired of the other person and leaves. It’s just not worth the effort or time commitment, and I really learned that the hard way.
