Top Comments of this video!! :3
I hate that I will most likely forget about this video and move on. But damn, it's too accurate and I hate it. Over the past couple years, I've built up a habit of mindlessly watching things and just overloading my brain with information day by day. And then eventually, I don't even remember what I watched in a certain day. Nothing gets retained anymore. I used to be able to pick up things I learned from videos, and maybe share them with friends or family in conversation. But now, nothing. I don't consume the internet. It's consumed me. It's unreal how dystopian this concept is, but it really is happening right now, and I'm terrified.

It kinda feels like we are lab monkeys, cables hooked up to our brains, an instant dopamine button in front of us and all we can do about it is to philosophise about how it's ruining everyones lives. What can we do? Can we do anything? Just surrendering to it sounds pretty dystopian to me, yet here I am. Doing exactly that...

I noticed as someone who tries to be artistic and creative and also does academic science, my brain STRUGGLES to do any of those things when Iām over stimulated. I spent quite a while this summer living in the wilderness and I felt so much more able to create, but it was because I was forced to really sit with the gravity of my thoughts

Same bro. Days become a blur and suddenly a month passes by and you realize you haven't accomplished any goals you set up for yourself. The nagging anxiety 24/7 at the back of your mind telling you, you will never get that time back, another semester's going to start and you won't have the time to pursue your personal projects you hoped to do over the summer š

Alright well that settles it. I'm deleting YouTube and Tiktok and Instagram right after this comment. I'm gonna try and escape this. Thanks for this video, and thanks for this kick in the ass reality breaking existential crisis. Wish me luck boys, I'll come back to this comment some day and update you on how well I did

Vids like this help me to realize the importance of being alone with your thoughts and bored sometimes - it's uncomfortable, but I think it's a useful thing to go through, without numbing yourself to it through hours of scrolling - those moments of vulnerability give us the opportunity to learn more about ourselves through quiet introspection, without distraction
Great video man, keep it up

The end of the video had me cackling, running to type a comment about how it subverted my expectations, then realizing that I had forgotten about the video's contents for a brief moment for "haha funi sound". Then proving the point of the video.
Sisyphus playing 5D chess with my emotions like a king.

I'm aware that I can't survive without constant stimulation, but the awareness doesn't make it any less true. Just because I know what's happening doesn't mean it isn't happening - I still need to consistently consume content. to (mis)quote Bo Burnham - I think - "self awareness never absolved anyone of anything".

I don't remember where I read this but it was like try to do nothing for ten minutes and just be alone with your thoughts and try not to be bored, you will become creative, I know the video isn't about creativity but if you be able to spend minutes with positive thoughts and not be bored you can do without social media
