Most screen addiction content is going to focus on discipline.

So I want to focus on something a little bit different, like a different angle of this.

Looking at the phone as a parallel or substitute world.

And I want to talk on the trappings and the allure of

that parallel world that offers so very much to us while demanding virtually nothing from our physical bodies.

A lot of the time when we pick up the phone and we doom scroll, we get simulation without effort, connection without vulnerability, information without transformation.

And of course, there are anecdotes and examples and exceptions and times where that is not the case,

where we can get more out of our online experience.

Yes, obviously, that's not what I'm talking about in this video.

I'm talking about the time wasters that we're all guilty of, myself included.

and it's where the addiction isn't even

so much with the phone itself right that's what I'm getting at it's this addiction to the frictionless existence

that it offers take away the phone entirely throw it out

this is an age -old problem

this is a tale as old as time Plato was writing about it in the Republic with the cave

you know a metaphor for ignorance and a metaphor for the comfortable illusion.

The phone is just the most effective, most powerful, most efficient cave that we've ever seen in human existence.

Stick with me, man.

Where is the draw to step out of the cave?

Why would I put the phone down?

This is where we get into the bigger issue, I think.

This is why I think willpower fails us, and it's not discipline is the answer, because

we're exhausting ourself kind of attacking a symptom rather than acknowledging the

kind of sad truth that many people don't like themselves

or this world enough they don't have enough faith

or belief in this world enough to even want to get off their phone you know what i mean

and i hold no judgment to

that i used to hate me i used to hate this world

if i saw a video like this back in my undergraduate uh freshman year of undergraduate i would have said

that i'm either an idiot or a liar and that i don't know what i'm talking about and this world

sucks and has nothing to offer and there's no point in getting off the phone

because i can still remember being in my freshman year you know i would sleep in my dorm room

and i'd wake up in the morning

I'd see the sunlight beaming on the the wall I could see it there

and that kind of signifier of the new day would exhaust me immediately right I had just woken up

but I was

my soul and spirit were just crushed they were so feeble

and I I would get sick to my stomach

you know how am I going to make it through another day

I cannot do this I do not want to do this

and all I could think to do or want to do or drag myself to do is pass the time.

Of course, right?

I'm going to grab my phone.

I'm going to pass the time because what is the point otherwise?

What am I entering into out there?

Why is it worth it, right?

So for me, the question and focus on this lately has been, how can I make my real world more compelling or more worth it?

It's a world that I'm more invested in than my phone.

That's the focus.

That's the aim.

And that's obviously easier said than done.

And please tell me your thoughts on how to do that.

I came up with three kind of themes that took me from that guy freshman year who hated myself, hated the world, was a nihilist,

and didn't want to do anything, you know, to where I am now where I feel hopeful even though I like you might know

I have this heart condition that's not going away heart failure is happening actively

I know I know my end

I know how it's going to happen unless I mean of course I can always get hit by a car

or something but like death is right there the absurdity and

futility of this world is not lost upon me

but I feel hopeful and happy and excited to to go out and live my life anyway.

What brought me to that were purpose, creation, and adventure, largely, right?

I think these three pillars, purpose, creation, and adventure, did so much for me.

And this is where the part of the video I'm going to shift

because we could get into an idiosyncratic conversation that's not

so helpful to you if I don't know your specific case and and stuff like that.

I want to shift this more now to the day -to -day.

How do I actually get off my phone?

Uh, and how I, me right now in today's day and age can get off my phone.

Cause man, I'm with you in this fight.

I am also addicted to my phone and on this thing way too much.

Uh, and what I'm.

what I'm trying to do is put myself in environments that demand my presence.

I think that's a huge factor that can help us, right?

When I'm hiking, rock climbing, rappelling, boxing, when I'm doing these physical things, I can't be on my phone and I won't be on my phone.

And that's one of the categories, that's physical struggle.

But there's also creative work.

Like when I write my novels, I'm super focused.

I'm in it.

I'm deeply away from my phone and into something else.

Real conversations.

This one's massive, man.

I'm so lucky and so blessed to have such good friends in my life.

And when we put the phones down and just talk eye to eye,

I can only undersell how valuable that is and how much it helps me.

And of course, how much it keeps me off my phone.

So real conversations is another one.

Tangible goals is another massive one telling yourself who you want to be and then doing what you must, right?

Giving yourself a purpose, a reason to wake up in the morning, a focus on what the day is going to be.

You know, what is the aim of the day?

All of these things matter

and help you get more invested in your day -to -day life

and get you off that phone and off the cycle of just trying to kill time.

To me, it's all about getting a life with stakes and a life that I am invested in.

but again there's that sad truth that many don't have

that belief they don't have that investment in themselves

and i get it

and i don't know what is in my ring right

now that's gross i think it's my hair product um many people don't have the belief

or investment in themselves and that might be you but

100

if you're here on this video that tells me there's enough of a inkling of something

101

that is saying i don't like where i'm at i want things to change

102

i want things to be better keep pulling that thread keep pulling

103

that thread and keep investing in yourself betting on yourself

104

and putting yourself into the real world do things

105

that demand your focus demand your attention put yourself in front of people

106

and give them your attention i think that's all i've got guys i appreciate you

107

so much like i really do i appreciate you all

108

so much i talked for six years on this channel back

109

when it was called save for more you can see it there but uh back when it was called

110

say for more six years ago I was just doing these videos over and over again to nobody and to have

111

really thoughtful uh individuals here with me in the conversation joining in I'm seriously grateful for

112

that I'm so thankful to each and every one of you who gave this video your time

113

thank you and I will see you guys in the next one

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
