The "Doom Scroll" is when you're mindlessly scrolling through social media posts or news articles. This is also known in psychology as "social media panic." Most of us are doomscrolling when we don't even realize it. What's the first thing you do when you wake up? Do you check your phone? You are addicted to social media. Most of us are. The average American spent more than 1,300 hours on social media. That’s approximately 3.6 hours a day wasted. Now, imagine the opposite. What would happen if you go 372 days without social media? In this video we go over the psychology behind social media and why human behavior leads us back to social media once again.
I was on the subreddit "Philosophy" and came across this question. There's quite a long tradition of finding social causes for mental illness. Although this is a philosophical topic, I want to give a more psychological perspective. Because it’s easier than ever before to find data showing higher rates of depression, we can speculate different correlations about how our modern society and culture affects depression and our mental health overall. Do you remember when life was simpler? When I look back, I could feel nostalgia. I grew up in the era where flip phones first came about. Although we were already technologically advanced, it was a much simpler time. Well at least social media on mobile wasn't a thing. Now we are glued to our phones 24/7. Myself included. Hence, I created this video about my thoughts on depression being a symptom of modern civilization.
The future is coming. But is it gonna be a bright one? In the metaverse you’ll be able to experience an endless virtual world where you can do things you only once dreamed about. It supposedly will bring people together and you’ll be able to hang out with friends as if they’re there in front of you and what used to be boring lectures from your professors will soon be hands-on and immersive. what could possibly go wrong? What happens to your brain when you mesh virtual reality with real life? In the metaverse, our real life will merge with virtual reality. It’s not only the future of gaming, but the future of how we will live our daily lives.
Nostalgia is a powerful emotion that can arise by events that remind you of past experiences in your life. A good example of this is during the holidays. As a kid I would be excited to wake up Christmas morning to find gifts under the Christmas tree. I would open them with a joyful heart. Looking back, Christmas is filled with nostalgia. Nostalgia is also coming back in the media. Reboots have been coming back. Whether you're an 80s, 90s, or even 2000s kid, we all feel nostalgia from our childhood.
Cancel culture can be traced back to Ancient Greece. Although, they did things quite differently than we do today. One problem with modern day cancel culture is that in a criminal justice system, the crime usually matches the punishment. But I don't know if we can say the same for people being cancelled today. The second problem comes from our human psychology. In order for us to grow, we need to be allowed to make mistakes and learn from them. But does cancel culture allow us to do that? The last issue with cancel culture is that humans have the tendency to follow "mob mentality". When a group of people believe one thing, chances are, you'll believe it too without actually researching for yourself. Millennials and Generation Z is the most powerful generation when it comes to social media and internet culture. Let's make a difference and choose a better path for our future.
