Everytime I open the news, I feel like I’m attacked with headlines telling me that the world is ending and there is nothing that I can do to stop it.
Whether it’s:
- Joe Biden opening up the Texas border…
- Or Elon Musk announcing that the first Neuralink user can control the mouse of a computer with their mind…
- Or students getting kicked of school for wearing a t-shirt that says there are only two genders…
- Or how the US dollar is going to crash and a CBDC is on the way…
- Or how AI is going to replace all human jobs….
To say it’s disturbing is an understatement… I feel like we’ve entered a weird sci-fi movie, and I want to go back in time before things were this way.
Being an online privacy expert, I spend almost all of my time researching current news, the political landscape, and modern technology.
But there are times where it feels too much for me. I genuinely feel overwhelmed, hopeless, and like my days are numbered. It’s awful. And it’s because I am sitting in front of a screen reading articles and headlines that are terrifying.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not mad at the people who write the headlines or the articles. Because a lot of what they are saying is true and being aware is important. We are living in a crazy time.
But when I feel this way, I have to stop and catch myself. It’s really dangerous to spend all of your time looking at how the world is ending, even if times are crazy like now.
Today’s video is a little different than my normal videos. I wanted to speak from the heart, and talk about how emotions are being manipulated online. You can watch the video here.
With the internet, there are no limits. You can sit on Twitter 24/7 reading comments, articles, and spiral into depression and anxiety.
Doing that will amplify your fears immeasurably. It’s an echo chamber.
And I wanted to make this video as reminder to myself, and other people. Because I see people fall into this trap, and I fall into it sometimes myself.
I really recommend that you watch it here.
I hope you enjoy this video. We started making these free videos as a way for you to easily spread this information and to encourage you to share it with your friends and family. I really think it is vital to know.
