It is literally diminishing and neutralizing the power of the human brain.

And these people, they are literally people who are programming us with their algorithms.

They understand the power that this has.

They know what they can do with it.

Have no conscientiousness about it.

How is social media making us dumber?

And do you think brain rot is a real disease?

i've noticed it in myself so

if i can notice something in myself i don't have to feel like i'm superior to everyone else

and it makes me understand what people are going through

and i've noticed in myself levels of distraction that i didn't have before and so i for instance

instagram now only in the last three or four years have i started really paying attention to Instagram.

And the feed is unbelievable.

You know, these videos are addicting.

They're amazing.

Animals, comedians, you know, exercises that you didn't know about, things like that, products.

And you get addicted and you watch more and more of them.

And it cuts off your ability to focus deeply on something

because your mind is split up into 30 second little bits here

and there and and there and there and there

and i realized the reason it works is

because it operates on your emotions it's not a conscious cognitive thing

they know how to operate on your emotions they know what hooks you things

that are pleasant things that are entertaining things that make you angry things

that are informing you of something

that you never thought of before they hit your emotions and they hit the most vital emotion of all, which is loneliness.

You feel like you're a part of something.

You're not so alone, right?

Okay, you're in some kind of virtual community.

But the human brain was designed for focus.

That's our power.

That is our superpower.

It's what made us who we are.

The fact that unlike an animal, and believe me, I think animals are incredibly intelligent, but they're always distracted.

They're always looking around.

Where's the predator coming next?

When am I going to get eaten?

You know, how do I protect myself?

Where do I get food?

We develop the ability to be able to be safe, first of all, and then to focus deeply on things like a rock

that we can now turn into a weapon or a tool, right?

Our brains developed out of our ability to focus without distractions for a minute, for two minutes, for five minutes for 30 minutes

when our ancestors tracked large game in order to hunt

and kill them they had to focus for hours and days tracking

that game that's what developed the human brain that's how we're able to write books create music design buildings

that don't fall down build things create things that are beautiful that are useful these constant distractions,

these constant sense of what are other people doing that I'm not doing,

what am I missing, is continually breaking that focus.

It's like a circuit.

The circuit is being short -circuited, you know, 20 times in the space of a couple minutes.

Whereas if that two minutes where you're like getting all these little bits of feedings from your social media,

If you were to take those two minutes and focus on a problem, focus on yourself, focus on your life, something very different would be happening.

So it is literally deteriorating our brains.

It is literally diminishing and neutralizing the power of the human brain.

And I don't say that from a position of superiority in judgment because I see it in myself.

I see it and I understand it very deeply.

And it's very human and these people who are programming us, and they are literally people who are programming us with their algorithms.

They understand the power that this has.

They know what they can do with it.

And they completely have no conscientiousness about it.

They take no responsibility for what they're doing to young people in their brains

and how young people can't read a book anymore.

They can't go through a 300 -page book

because it's too long they're too distracted right they can't write an essay anymore

because well they can get ai now to write the essay for them

but and once again i'm not preaching i understand it

if i were 20 years old growing up in this world i would be like

that and it's already infecting me but it is rotting our brains and Anybody who argues against that, I don't know.

I mean, the evidence I think is overwhelming that this is actually happening.

But I wrote in my book, Mastery, literally it's a manual about how the human brain operates.

And it's based on science and studies.

And I'm showing you that this is the brain that we all inherited.

And we are literally now in the process of trying to rewire our brains in a way that is not human,

is not effective, is not powerful.

and as far as the mechanism that makes us distracted

and kind of takes us away from our roots of being

able to focus on problems for an extended period of time is it just

we're not built to experience all these different emotions back to back so quickly

or is it all these different novel dopamine stimuli like what is it exactly well as i said it's emotion based

so if it were just thoughts and ideas if they were just posts about plato and nietzsche and philosophy

and you know all that stuff wouldn't have the power that it has we'd be able to control it

In fact, we probably wouldn't be very interested in it.

But because it plays on our emotions, we have to pay attention.

And because we are, we think of ourselves as rational beings, but we are really emotional beings to the core.

And we have very deep, rich emotions, and they play on those emotions.

And when you get something that excites you, you see on your feed, something that excites you, you can't ignore it and and

and it becomes an addiction you go down this hole so

so people are getting addicted to like experiencing a bunch of emotions essentially I guess you could put it

that way they're addicted to the experience of being taken outside of their day -to -day life

and into this alternate realm where everything is interesting right okay

so I love animals that's like one of my passions and I see, I don't really do TikTok, so I'm mostly on Instagram.

And I know there's a whole bunch of other things that people are, Instagram's kind of passe probably.

But I noticed there's like things about elephants or about tigers.

Gee, I can't ignore that.

They're so well done.

They're so interesting that I have to watch it, right?

And then now that I've watched one of them, now 10 of them suddenly appear.

They flood.

I noticed, like I started, I'm trying to like get my posture better because of my stroke.

100

I saw one of post about how to correct your shoulders and loosen them up.

101

And now hundreds of them.

102

And I have to watch them because I'm something I'm interested in.

103

They know how to hook you.

104

They know how to, you're addicted to the experience of social media itself, of being entertained, diverted, distracted.

105

I think that's the source of it.

106

Thank you.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
