Hypnotized by social media?

article image placeholderSocial media hypnosis
The only reason it becomes real is because then we take our impressions from our involvement in social media. We take our impressions and we have emotional reactions to it. We have observations about it. We have thoughts about it. We make it real because then we act upon it. But the online world is not real. It's not physical. Now your voices that all of you hear as well. You're real people. I can see that

When it comes to social media, internet we end up hypnotized by a world that doesn’t exist.

Social media is engineered to keep us here and also to gain more followers

But also it's the limitation of social apps. Social networking is that social networking is engineered to social network broader and expand further outside of Patrol's rule or petrol's number like it's a certain amount other number of friends you can have. I forget what that's called. But there's, like, a certain amount of friends you can have to where it's not no longer a personal connection

The Social Dilemma on Netflix @LifeOrigami

Hey, Greg, there is a documentary on Netflix. I don't know if you've seen it or not. Called The Social Dilemma. It covers things like what goes into creating social media, Ie, things like how hacking psychology, so many different things. They also talk about how social media has morphed and changed the culture over time. And so you may find that fascinating to watch

@SeekingPlumb @Wuandurful my hodgepodge of thoughts, no notes lol

It's a matter of honoring their energy, their intention, what they've shared and letting them know that they've been seen, that they've been heard because that's what creates connection. That's the essence of life. That's what makes us human. And our need for that connection is a real driving factor. And so that's the beauty of so. On the one hand, I see that an app like as well can be conversational. It's time shifted
