You get this constant barrage of entertainment. Our brains aren't made for that.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73788895


It's a constant dopamine feedback loop system. No different than doing cocaine.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79503125


I don't even think it's a loop. I imagine new cell organisms right at the outlet hooked back in.

And now it ain't like cocaine, snark. Ok maybe a little. Nowhere near as good as the coca cola lol.

If it wasn't a loop or addictive then they could easily stop looking at it and put it down.

There are 2 types of narcissism, according to some videos I've watched. One stems from insecurity and needing to prove ones self, the other consists of genuine belief you're superior.

These are kids that were born in the "Everybody gets a trophy" generation. Look how fucked up they are.


The narcissism is disgusting. Honestly, it's not subtle, passive, or regulated. Completely in your face. There is no other word. Repulsive maybe?


We are building a generation that is more full of themselves than ever before but also the dumbest.

Interesting thoughts. I was thinking something along those lines on my own about that just the past couple of days. They're so all trying to do something, prove something; but it's more than that.

In the book I am reading it said that they compared Korean and American 8th graders on their mathematic abilities. 6% of the Koreans said they were sure of their skill sets, 38% of Americans (Along those lines).

It is no surprise that the Koreans mopped the floor academically with how well they did.

The brain? Parenting? Is it fear? Fear that if we don't tell children they are the absolute definition of perfection they freak out?

What I do know is that it's horrifying. As OP stated, a religion and anyone who is not a part of it feels oddly isolated from this "normal" behavior. I know I do.

The concept of self esteem is not alien to me, but Tik Tok is. A video of someone playing music and just smiling at the camera only so that people will see how good looking they are.

Do we need another war? An economic collapse? What? What trying times must we have to set people back into reality. There must be some type of sociological recalibration.

We cannot keep going down this road.

My final thoughts

Take a look at Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs - [link to www.simplypsychology.org (secure)]

Do kids even need to struggle anymore? Is there any healthy fight for, well - ANYTHING in their lives or are they just born at the top?

The reason why I said we need another catastrophe in some way, shape, or form is because it's as though most people have no purpose.

We have everything but nothing and it is horribly sad.

All of the attention, dopamine, likes, comments, shares, and more - but no purpose.


One of my absolute most largest fears is that this will lead to a stagnation of our world and that we will fall behind. People will ask themselves "Why would I need to discover, invent, or accomplish anything when all of the validation I need is right here?".

We may have kicked the can down the road back in 2001. May have been the wrong choice. Not sure we'd make it next time around.

Perhaps some globalists hoped we'd elevate our species to some futuristic kind instead, so we can colonize mars or whatever.
