1
It is literally diminishing and neutralizing the power of the human brain.
2
And these people, they are literally people who are programming us with their algorithms.
3
They understand the power that this has.
4
They know what they can do with it.
5
Have no conscientiousness about it.
6
How is social media making us dumber?
7
And do you think brain rot is a real disease?
8
i've noticed it in myself so
9
if i can notice something in myself i don't have to feel like i'm superior to everyone else
10
and it makes me understand what people are going through
11
and i've noticed in myself levels of distraction that i didn't have before and so i for instance
12
instagram now only in the last three or four years have i started really paying attention to Instagram.
13
And the feed is unbelievable.
14
You know, these videos are addicting.
15
They're amazing.
16
Animals, comedians, you know, exercises that you didn't know about, things like that, products.
17
And you get addicted and you watch more and more of them.
18
And it cuts off your ability to focus deeply on something
19
because your mind is split up into 30 second little bits here
20
and there and and there and there and there
21
and i realized the reason it works is
22
because it operates on your emotions it's not a conscious cognitive thing
23
they know how to operate on your emotions they know what hooks you things
24
that are pleasant things that are entertaining things that make you angry things
25
that are informing you of something
26
that you never thought of before they hit your emotions and they hit the most vital emotion of all, which is loneliness.
27
You feel like you're a part of something.
28
You're not so alone, right?
29
Okay, you're in some kind of virtual community.
30
But the human brain was designed for focus.
31
That's our power.
32
That is our superpower.
33
It's what made us who we are.
34
The fact that unlike an animal, and believe me, I think animals are incredibly intelligent, but they're always distracted.
35
They're always looking around.
36
Where's the predator coming next?
37
When am I going to get eaten?
38
You know, how do I protect myself?
39
Where do I get food?
40
We develop the ability to be able to be safe, first of all, and then to focus deeply on things like a rock
41
that we can now turn into a weapon or a tool, right?
42
Our brains developed out of our ability to focus without distractions for a minute, for two minutes, for five minutes for 30 minutes
43
when our ancestors tracked large game in order to hunt
44
and kill them they had to focus for hours and days tracking
45
that game that's what developed the human brain that's how we're able to write books create music design buildings
46
that don't fall down build things create things that are beautiful that are useful these constant distractions,
47
these constant sense of what are other people doing that I'm not doing,
48
what am I missing, is continually breaking that focus.
49
It's like a circuit.
50
The circuit is being short -circuited, you know, 20 times in the space of a couple minutes.
51
Whereas if that two minutes where you're like getting all these little bits of feedings from your social media,
52
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.
53
So it is literally deteriorating our brains.
54
It is literally diminishing and neutralizing the power of the human brain.
55
And I don't say that from a position of superiority in judgment because I see it in myself.
56
I see it and I understand it very deeply.
57
And it's very human and these people who are programming us, and they are literally people who are programming us with their algorithms.
58
They understand the power that this has.
59
They know what they can do with it.
60
And they completely have no conscientiousness about it.
61
They take no responsibility for what they're doing to young people in their brains
62
and how young people can't read a book anymore.
63
They can't go through a 300 -page book
64
because it's too long they're too distracted right they can't write an essay anymore
65
because well they can get ai now to write the essay for them
66
but and once again i'm not preaching i understand it
67
if i were 20 years old growing up in this world i would be like
68
that and it's already infecting me but it is rotting our brains and Anybody who argues against that, I don't know.
69
I mean, the evidence I think is overwhelming that this is actually happening.
70
But I wrote in my book, Mastery, literally it's a manual about how the human brain operates.
71
And it's based on science and studies.
72
And I'm showing you that this is the brain that we all inherited.
73
And we are literally now in the process of trying to rewire our brains in a way that is not human,
74
is not effective, is not powerful.
75
and as far as the mechanism that makes us distracted
76
and kind of takes us away from our roots of being
77
able to focus on problems for an extended period of time is it just
78
we're not built to experience all these different emotions back to back so quickly
79
or is it all these different novel dopamine stimuli like what is it exactly well as i said it's emotion based
80
so if it were just thoughts and ideas if they were just posts about plato and nietzsche and philosophy
81
and you know all that stuff wouldn't have the power that it has we'd be able to control it
82
In fact, we probably wouldn't be very interested in it.
83
But because it plays on our emotions, we have to pay attention.
84
And because we are, we think of ourselves as rational beings, but we are really emotional beings to the core.
85
And we have very deep, rich emotions, and they play on those emotions.
86
And when you get something that excites you, you see on your feed, something that excites you, you can't ignore it and and
87
and it becomes an addiction you go down this hole so
88
so people are getting addicted to like experiencing a bunch of emotions essentially I guess you could put it
89
that way they're addicted to the experience of being taken outside of their day -to -day life
90
and into this alternate realm where everything is interesting right okay
91
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.
92
And I know there's a whole bunch of other things that people are, Instagram's kind of passe probably.
93
But I noticed there's like things about elephants or about tigers.
94
Gee, I can't ignore that.
95
They're so well done.
96
They're so interesting that I have to watch it, right?
97
And then now that I've watched one of them, now 10 of them suddenly appear.
98
They flood.
99
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.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
