Deprogramming from Screen Addiction in Talasbuan

[@Talasbuan]

Thank you Mose for the visit. I always value the time spent with you and Ivar sure enjoy your company. /Mathias

[@happygoluckyland]

Thank you so much for having me over and for your hospitality, great company and great food!! 🤩❤️

[@annettec8555]

I prefer to watch your videos since I threw my tv in garbage ten years ago. You are real people, and I do not like tv ads every 8 minutes.

[@RenayEmond]

16:04🧐 "quite patient" is an utterly Humongous Understatement! Ivar is an AMAZINGLY AWESOME TALENTED, PASSIONATE, CHARMING, GENIUS, INSIGHTFUL AND THOUGHTFUL young GENTLEMAN but his patience, tolerance, charisma, mindfulness and STRENGTH is ENORMOUS 💯not just for a 3 year old but for a person of ANY age! The pride you all must feel raising such a BEAUTIFUL Human must be as ENORMOUS 😍 Thank you for sharing him with us💞🙏🍀

[@happygoluckyland]

Indeed!! 😂 and he's very funny too! 😝

[@susancoffey419]

I loved this video, as recommended by Talasbuan. It is beautiful in so many ways. I am a 78 year old woman in England and find youtube is a wonderful way of learning new things and seeing how others live. A balance is necessary, agreed, and I realise I'm not reading as many books as before. Still, such videos as this are life enhancing, so thank you very much for that.

[@happygoluckyland]

Wow thank you so much! Yes it is a great place to learn and get a glimpse of other peoples lives! It is really cool! I also would like to read more, I've never been a strong reader but I love to get into the worlds of books! :)

[@g.christelbecker6349]

@@happygoluckyland i agree with you Susan. I am a good bit older than you and will never have the opportunity to experience the life of Mathias, Tova and Ivar, so youtube is a blessing for me. I have channels all over the globe which I follow and they enrich my life. Have a good life Susan, love from the Highlands of Chiapas.

I loved seeing you helping Mathias and Tova and Ivar. ;) I am so proud of you trying to get away from screens.

[@happygoluckyland]

Yes I try to help out a little when I have the time to go, unfortunately the journey there is very long. And they have a lot to do :p

[@DeborahGreen-q8u]

Mose, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Your theme of deprogramming and the discussions btw you and Mathias have given me something to think hard about. I’ve seen you before on the Talasbuan channel and today I become one of your subscribers. You are a big breath of fresh air! Thank you.✌🏾

[@happygoluckyland]

Wow thank you so much!!! 😊

[@lenawallster8379]

When I am waiting for the bus here in the city of my town I can see about 20 people watching their phones, just when they are waiting for busses. I am used to just stay and wait (we had no technical gadgets when I was young). It is a good time doing nothing, just waiting. Same thing on the bus, just sit there, doing nothing, looking out of the window, being a free person, it is time for the relaxation we all need !

[@happygoluckyland]

Yes it’s very important and good for us!! I drive my trains a lot in silence now. When I get of my shifts I feel more relaxed and not so worn down by listening to podcasts and radio and stuff! :)

[@christinaelliott8565]

I am happy to connect with your channel via Talasbuan. You are like many of us working so many hours, and though it's much work to create a wilderness home, it is meaningful and will provide a balm to your soul like nothing else.

[@happygoluckyland]

Yes it will for sure!! It creates a sense of tranquility in an otherwise busy world. Thanks! :)

[@beeheart6324]

It's a good thing that you do notice that you re distracting yourself, loosing yourself in social media: this way you can start to change it and I am pretty sure you will. I feel that all these things are so boring now , I less and less use phone and laptop, I am bored by the repetition. Anyways: thank you for sharing your perspective!

[@happygoluckyland]

Yes thank you!! It is very true! It is like I’m looking for joy and many feelings in a device just like I am google searching for feelings. It truly is boring! :) Thanks for the reminder!

[@rachw3709]

I think the word you are looking for is decompress rather than deprogramming (deprogramming takes years and changing the way we think. act, etc) ... look at me, being an english teacher today! 😂 You are very lucky to have such wonderful friends and little Ivar is every parents dream! Imagine what a wonderful partner he will be to someone someday! We all need to strive to be even a little like this family ❤

[@happygoluckyland]

Yess thank you!! I just invented or came up with the word to try to explain something. Yes it takes years, but we have years to deprogram ourselves! But one step at the time! :) He will!

[@RenayEmond]

😂Would definitely listen to a podcast with you,Tova, Ivar & Mathais on almost any subject❣ My Admiration for you All is Immense! Lived most of my childhood & adulthood "offgrid" in remote Rural areas So have never really watched much TV or gone to many movies Having high speed internet with access to KZbin has given me a reason to have 'screen time' With Patreon & the opportunity to support creators like you & Talusbaun it has also given me a type of community that was Sorely lacking in my life Thank You for sharing Quality content I can feel is BENEFICIAL for me not Detrimental like most screentime can be You're making the World a Better Place for Us All 💞🙏✊🏽🍀

[@happygoluckyland]

Wow that is a great point too! I also am inspired a lot by KZbin especially. To find out that there are many space children out there doing amazing impossible things! And to talk to you and all the great patreons and commenters! 😃 hopefully it’s true and we can bring joy and benefit the world! Thanks again! ❤️⭐️

[@RenayEmond]

12:07🌌AMAZING 😍The moonlight is 🌚BRIGHTER than the Sun! Thank you for sharing your SACRED moments and views❣🙏

[@happygoluckyland]

Yes the moonlight in the snow and northern lights was out of this world! ✨✨Thank you!! 😀

[@leenabalance]

Really enjoy your music and musings with Mathias

[@happygoluckyland]

Wow thank you so much!!! It’s nice to hear that someone enjoys my weird creations 😅🐬

[@RuralSpanishRetirement]

I am 66 and have to set limits on my screen time so this isn’t just a problem for the young 💁 and we have a farm to run too (in Spain so no snow but there are other challenges) very much enjoyed your video.. will come back for more 😊

[@happygoluckyland]

Thank you so much! :) Yes it is the same for all nowadays! Hope your farming goes well!

[@jimjohandes]

You have some interesting points. Perhaps turning back the hands of the clock would be a way to deprogram. I would do it 5 or 10 years at a time. Each time you turn the clock back use only those items that were available at that time. When you are comfortable with the time era you are in then stop. That is where you are most comfortable. Live your life in that era. Jim in California

[@happygoluckyland]

Thanks!! That's great advice! :) I like many things about the seventies, but I wouldn't be able to afford a plastic boat of a synth in that era. But I'll try to think more about which era to live, or cherry pick the things that are best from all of history :)

[@lieuwina]

I agree one does spend too much time looking at screens. Having said this you tube and meeting people like you Moses and Mathias. I learn a lot from people all over the world and when I had my children and was living in Africa there was no computers and you needed 48 hrs in a day to do everything and now I am 65 years old and times have changed. Having moved from Africa to the Netherlands then to the UK it is amazing how time has evolved. A balance is necessary in ones life and I have found I have been stimulated by people like Mathias, Tova, you and loads of other people in homesteading, renovations, etc etc. I have had to make a schedule, I do not go near the computer till all my chores etc etc are done and then at night (we do not have television) had one got rid of it when my son was about 6 years old as he would continually want it on and the ads, since then I have had 5 children no t.v. I read before going to bed to unwind from the day. Enjoy your day and I wish you the best with your deprogramming as it can be an addiction. Have a lovely day. I am glad you had a good time with Mathias and visited him.

[@happygoluckyland]

Thank you so much for sharing! What a great journey and experience!! Sounds like a great way to go about a day, no screen until the chores are done! Then the good KZbin videos! :)

[@pollya2404]

Mose (is that how you spell your name?), Thank you so much for taking us along on your train travels early in the video. I am fascinated by train travel in Sweden and would love to see more of that. I also thank you for making the effort to speak English in this video. You speak it well. I am an older woman in Maryland, USA, and am a retired psychotherapist. I appreciate your willingness to share your journey on the road to deprogramming as it seems to be quite a struggle; a struggle that I did not experience growing up in the 60's and 70's. Please know that I find you an inspiration, even though I didn't experience the same. I wish you well with your youtube channel and look forward to watching. The parts of your video that included the family of Talasbuan warmed my heart as you all are such great friends. Please keep the videos coming!

[@happygoluckyland]

Thank you so very much!! Yes we face different challenges each generation nowadays! I hope to be able to change things around me in a way to bring back community like in older times. Like real friends and life worth living away from screens :)

[@carsta101]

what a blessing you are able to spend time with M, T and Ivar - and "deprogramm". Love it!

[@happygoluckyland]

Thank you!!! 😊

[@larrywade9041]

That was an interesting video. The one thing that you & Mathias said that I have also been preaching about is to be careful how much technology you addict yourself to. Keep it simple! Thanks for the video. Illinois, USA

[@happygoluckyland]

Yes keep it simple!! Simple technology that works for us instead of we working for it! :)

[@maggiewolf9284]

Interesting to see a different view and good discussion. I have wondered if my son's and your generations were pre-programmed by television for computers, and so on... Lots to think about. thanks.

[@happygoluckyland]

Haha yes maybe. Although I didn’t have a tv as a child. I was seven maybe when getting the first black and white tv. And in Sweden there wasn’t much to see anyways 😂 just three boring channels

[@carlosbruno4142]

Wonderful video. I share the belief in getting back to reality and spending less time on the screen. Balance

[@happygoluckyland]

Yes balance!! :) Do real things more and sometimes enjoy watching others do things too :p

[@g.christelbecker6349]

@@happygoluckyland Exactly. Thank you for posting your video

[@Lanclasscan]

Loved this video, sub'd ! I have cut back greatly too on screen time ( No TV 3 years) and spend more time walking my dog in forests. This was very refreshing and inspired me that there are still normal, genuine people in the world. The Husky was so happy rolling in the snow. Kudos to you. Namaste from Ontario, Canada.

[@happygoluckyland]

Thank you so much!!! 😊 Yes walking dogs or for me my cat 😂 is very relaxing!!

[@ratxek]

Well done video! Some moments in the conversation are sensational. There was a great and inspiring documentarist in our Czech context, Jan Spata, who - and my memory may be of ementhaler style - basically said that the most precious moments of documenting is when the person stops for a while, thinking, eyes wandering, brain calibrating words and the so-called soul hesitant to continue. It is quiet, but the air is filled with thoughts. The nation with likes of I.Bergman probably knows that ad nausem as an artistic tool. But to capture a real moment, with no pretention and just funny side of it all, it makes life just so much cosier to carry on even on the semi-programmed paths. Well done, really!

[@happygoluckyland]

Wow thank you!! Great thoughts! 😃

[@bizzybee852]

my screen time starts after supper, no time, unless it is a really cold and dreary day and I do not want to go out. Videos like yours are what I like to watch, or how to do things. Very seldom do I watch movies.

Wow, the nordic light is amazing to watch! Can`t see this where I live here in Väsreås.

[@happygoluckyland]

Yess they’re great!! I’ve seen it in Linköping so in Västerås outside the city lights it should be visible sometimes! :)

[@honzikkrobotu479]

Hi Mose, nice video. You have interesting music on your planet, little disturbing, but interesting. Interesting thoughts at the end of the video. In my opinion, there is just too much information in the air for one to absorb in one lifetime. If man wants to gain from those information and to to be drained, he must reduce amount of it, even if it means sort out good stuff. Mind is allways hungry for more information no matter if it is harmful for the body or not.

[@happygoluckyland]

Haha thank you!! yes I make the music myself so it becomes different weird creations every time. I don't plan to make it disturbing or anything it just comes out like that :p That is very true. We always hunger for more information, we want to learn all the stuff. That's great but we need rest and time to process all the thoughts and everything too! :)

[@psmitheasy]

As a retired data base administrator, I enjoy learning about technology on youtube. I hardly ever watch tv but I will admit that I am very fickle about subscribing or even watching a full video. If the topic or the presenter gets political or even a little angry, I flip away to something else. If it is not entertaining me, I search for a more suitable channel. As an american, I am very annoyed by most of the Indian presenters on udemy because so many words are mispronounced that it becomes an irritation. The topic of AI is currently very interesting but if I can't understand the accent, I try to avoid adding stress to my day. You, Mattias and Tova all speak clearly and I will try to learn from you, though. When my kids come to visit, I tell them about the new things I have learned this week on youtube so it's a great conversation topic for me. Keep up the good work!

[@happygoluckyland]

Thank you!! Yes I guess we swedes learn a lot of American english from movies and youtube as well! :) And it is for sure a great source of knowledge, I have probably learnt more from youtube after ending my school years than during school 😂

Love this special video - thank you - BUT - maybe two men and a child is too much for one slender dog to pull-you don't want him to hurt his back and be in pain (he is not a big wide Siberian husky he is fine boned). But how wonderful to see you two brothers together enjoyed it so much you two are the bast ever thank you really enjoyed your snow-shots with surreal music, Mose that was super cool

[@happygoluckyland]

Thank you so much!! Yes Malva could just pull us downhill but I think she enjoyed it very much! :)

[@jenniferm761]

Lake Tahoe in Northern California got @56 FEET of snow last winter. That's feet, not inches(!) So, contact some snow removal companies around the Lake and ask them about reliable, kick-butt snowblowers. They will know what brands to buy that are worth the money. Snowblower repair shops around the Lake and in Truckee, CA, will also know what snowblowers work the best.

[@happygoluckyland]

Wow omg!!! That is a LOT!! I will tell Mathias where to look then! :) Thanks!

[@carolienhunfeld6788]

thank you ❣ real attractive to look at Talasbuan through other eyes. Moreover the northern light is magical ( and the music really fitting. ) Yes it is very much different to work ánd live off grid ánd on your own.... and the socials seem to touch the ( social) emotions ....... and afterwards you feel a bit empty, maybe because its only 2-dimensional .... well.... good/real things to ponder. so ; thanks again.

[@happygoluckyland]

Thank you so much!! Yes I think you hit the nail, there is also the loneliness of trying to do it alone while working a wage job. Getting home to an empty cold place where the water is frozen is not very nice. :p

I left social media after Jan6 because Facebook had become too hostile for me. At the same time I stopped going to my other Social media accounts. I hardly post to Instagram anymore. When I do it is of things I have created. After making my post I quickly leave the sight. Whenever I catch myself scrolling I quit. Scrolling is the most aggravating activity. Actually it does not even qualify as an activity. It is a simple waste of time. I much prefer to be busy doing something with my hands. This morning I hopped on to Truth Social. I wasn’t there for two minutes because I hate scrolling. I much prefer Telegram because it picks up where I last visited. I can get my news without scrolling. Scrolling to me has now become like the “Tingler” crawling up my spine. See the movie “Tingler” the only escape is to scream or it will kill you. That is exactly how I now feel about Social Media since I have weaned myself OFF of it. I am actually working on a project while watching this video. The title intrigued me.

[@happygoluckyland]

Thanks !! Yes it’s for sure a very addictive and poisonous thing now. I hope many people will let go of “social” media and start engaging with real life and each other instead. And do things with our own hands and enjoy being in nature! :)

Beroendeframkallande men tror även att det beror på hur man mår för tillfället. När jag mår sämre eller är sysslolös så sitter jag och scrollar mycket mer än när jag har mer energi.

[@happygoluckyland]

Det är så sant. Det värsta är bara att man eller jag fastnar mycket även när jag kunde göra något "vettigare" hehe
