Odysee

What happens if you are a zoomer and you have consumed internet content nonstop since you could think? Well, you tend to overexpose yourself to things...to the point that world might feel fairly boring and familiar by even age 18. This of course doesn't just apply to zoomers but to everyone and it is one of the most destructive trends of our time.

It's probably a good idea to realize the good times have passed, Lord Ape. It doesn't mean anyone should just call it, but priorities are most likely going to have to shift. I am in the process of figuring that out myself. Not sure if I'll succeed in my future endeavors, but since the novelty of everything I once knew is gone, perhaps I should create my own in a sense. The novelty of being a positive example in whatever way I can.

My life is better now than it was when I was 18-24 years old, but it will never be as good as in my childhood.

Can't tell if my brain is just rotting or if everything is just legitimately worse.

Men, unlike women, think and live for the future, while women only live in the present.

The burnout leads to analyzing and understanding patterns to its fullest extent.

[YouTubeOverrated]

This is me. I keep my phone on do not disturb at all times, and have it set so that no one can see that is my “status”. I reply to texts when I want to and look at missed calls when I want.

I too am overwhelmed by being hyper connected and often just want to be alone in silence to decompress.

[_Terminus_]

Im super burnt out. Nothing excites or surprises me anymore

The first day you lose curiosity is the first day you start to die.

[antinatalope]

Reality has ground my imagination into the dirt. Even my absurdist humour is failing me.

Btw, the guy having three fingers is driving me nuts.

Novelty chases the young, but the old must chase novelty

[norseman-nstq]

Im 33 and i feel like we were the last generation to feel safe and excited to ride our bikes all over town and it was totally normal.

The Cathedral of Notre Dame was "culturally enriched", except it was just set on fire rather than bliwn up.

[magneric]

I have noticed novelty being almost nonexistent in the entertainment industry but I feel that is mostly because the corporations want to play it safe. They want to beat a dead horse that used to be well loved long ago instead of thinking up new ideas.

[stevendentzer]

I remember watching old TV clips of the Beatles on Ed Sullivan when they first went global. They all looked happy and excited about it all. Flash forward just two years to a press conference during what ended up being their final tour. They were all very sullen, tired and even depressed. Everything gets old, even being in the Beatles.

Its getting warmer, and the heat makes people more prone to rage and outbursts. Take care as we progress into Summer, to stay spiritually and mentally fit. Water off a ducks back fellas. All it takes is a few seconds, an impulsive action made in anger, to set you back years.

[ttrainor]

There is no end to novelty, just like there's no end to work. There's always something else to do and there's always something new. Novelty is not always external.

[jayrobitaille]

I used to care so much about holidays like Halloween and Christmas when I was a kid. I have cared less and less with every year, let alone every decade even starting in my teens and I am turning 37 at the end of the year.

[doomedbook]

I think our reliance on habitual exposure to algorithm based information has kept us in a loop where novelty is hidden due to the hijacking of our explorative nature. Novelty lies in learning new things. Reading books in the age of attention is novelty.

Welp, finally subscribed to your Patreon.

Given all you've done for me and many others it felt like the least I could do. I spend so much money on other nonsense it wouldn't sit right with me if I didn't give even the bare minimum.
Going forward I do plan on putting more of my thoughts out there regarding your videos.

Regarding internet overconsumption. I have to agree. Ever since I left High School I noticed how much the internet vacuum had been sucking me in. Twitter/Instagram/Snapchat. Countless applications that I found myself mindlessly wasting time on. I have long since removed those Apps. While YouTube can definitely be a time waster, you can find much more valuable content on it.
Nowadays I've realized I need to roll back even harder on my internet consumption. Especially as I aim further in academic and personal pursuits.

I've started to read more and create more things I find valuable. It's definitely important to take a step back and reflect on our lives.
Hmmmm... I could stand to gain a lot by doing such a thing more often.

You have to GRADUALLY wean yourself off over YEARS. It's the only way back to being YOU again.
