"Are you just a" people love to slap people who stand out, with a label

this interviewer is always rude, watch him interview Robert Downey Jr

So gracious tho, and ends on great laughter*

Rude, but more dumb than rude. Jaron Lanier just spent 20 minutes explaining his views and this is the best that this interviewer can say to sum up and conclude?

How do I quit UKposts though ? 😂 I’m more hooked on this than instagram and tik tok

Yes

You ain't lying. I just permanently deleted my Facebook and Instagram accounts a week ago. I feel so much. @TyroneBiggums789I just unsubscribe from pages that aren't necessary to you. If I can't take what you teach and use it in my life, your page is useless to me. However, UKposts does try to bait you to subscribe to pages you unsubscribe from. They think they're slick. UKposts is like someone trying to reintroduce a former drug addict back to drugs after they rehabbed, and fully healed.

So true lol 9 days since deactivating instagram, and I realize how programmed and hypnotized i was to keep posting and stay updated to the app.

​@@TyroneBiggums789youtube is more educational for me than keeping up with individuals.

Same here. It’s been one year and I don’t want to ever go back.

I never manipulated my image or life and it was horrible so smart decision

Right on.

The algorithm knows people cant overcome their addictions. If they could then your point would be spot on. How many quit facebook but then went back on.

Maybe we should end ourselves too

Narcissism and voyeurism are two sides of the same coin. These are the twin diseases of modern humanity: "look at me! look at me!" plus "what are they doing over there? what are they doing over there?" Just be in yourself, inhabit what you are doing and stop broadcasting your every innermost thought to the world please everybody.

@@dianarosalindland1566 I agree with you.

Nothing can teach you to be a. narcissist. People use this term very freely without knowing what is actually means. Narcisism is a personality disorder and it has nothing to do with taking selfies and social media.

Narcs are the epitomy of insecure

@@cookie_dough_hangover You're right, but I do believe the narcs are drawn to instagram.

Yeah, I disliked the cell phone immediately. I felt my smothering parents were going to use it to track me like a tagged animal while I was on college (didn’t live on campus, still lived at home), and I was correct. I thought MySpace and Facebook were fun until I realized people go so hyper sensitive and controlling over their family’s/friends’ comments and follows that it became a tool for abusers to manipulate even further. I no longer have publicly identifiable social media because of it. Social media totally destroyed my large family, too.

Good luck finding a significant number of people not addicted to their iPhones. It seems like everyone I see out in public has buds in their ears and looking at their iPhones.

UKposts isn't as harmful

Football Contagion Nonsense. UKposts is just as bad. It is mostly full of inane garbage, mass advertising, sponsored content, toxic and miserable comment sections, extreme political positions and on and on. They’re all as bad as each other and in my own experience youtube is the most time consuming and has had a bad affect on my psyche.

Susan Wojcicki and the Jewish groups like ADL and SPLC she put in charge of censorship on UKposts have ruined it. Now UKposts is looking more and more like mainstream TV. Its non-stop promotion of everything which is undoing the cultural fabric of our societies.

perhaps you could try using youtube without an account? maybe find your favorite channels and keep them in your browser favorites (non google browser?) and disallow the algorithm from getting a read on you. I dont know if that would work but just a thought.

probably every boomer in the 1950s: I feel sorry for those born in 1945 and after that haven't experienced life without those blasted televisions. While TVs are amazing, it's not the "real world."

TV is not interactive though. TV is/was a modern version of theater which has existed forever. Social interaction with the world wasn't possible inside the home or at your finger tips and there wasn't total anonymity in daily interactions with strangers. There also wasn't a disconnect that the internet/smart phones provides in person to person interaction. There is a difference. While I appreciate these things immensely and they are great for the world, I also very much appreciate that I got to live my youth without the toxicity inherent in social media in particular.

But the internet does show the real person.

Perhaps it brings out the negative in a person that would otherwise be dormant if there was no internet?

I agree, I was born in the early 90’s so I just missed the cusp. Smartphones and social media became popular right when I graduated high school. I couldn’t imagine the effects of having platforms like tik tok and instagram or unlimited access to porn in middle and high school. It was already hard enough to just be an oddball teenager.

Well done!

Don’t go back

I do have IG and UKposts only but I don't really let it consume my being. I could careless what anyone says or do on Instagram. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Congratulations!!!!!!

@@shelterlovely I took a 2 month break from my social media accounts and it helped my anxiety so much. I have IG and UKposts now, Snapchat I only use for the filters when I’m bored lol but I will NEVER go back to Facebook or tiktok again!

Well done, don’t go back

Are you feeling better today

good decision.

UKposts is no different though. Many flat-earthers cite UKposts as the place where they went down the rabbit hole of ever more extreme conspiracy theories. Ironically it might actually be the advertisers which help this problem, because they're starting to refuse to pay for ads next to extremist content. So on the one hand the advertisers want to take advantage of the sensationalist, attention-grabbing nature of social media, but that very same system also creates a feedback loop of extremism that advertisers don't want to be associated with. It's hypocritical but hopefully it's at least something to prevent society from becoming increasingly paranoid and divisive.

There are some settings where you can turn off targeted ads, and you can clear and stop your watch history. That might help with the issue of UKposts learning your habits and trying to push you into similar content that keeps you hooked for all the wrong reasons.

Wow. So true.

@Gingerbreadman GanjaFarmer I agree and I don't say otherwise. There are positives and negatives, and it's about trying to reduce the negatives.

Philippians 4:11-13

I would say you should still look at good people and learn from them.

Well said. I miss the good ole days when there wasn't any such thing as the internet people actually seen each other n not just text etc..

@Childd Please! There is a contradiction here. Which is, by saying this, you are focusing on what other people are doing. Comparing your current life or status to another's isn't inherently evil, it's when you respond to it in such a way that causes you to behave in a manner that would be detrimental to your psychological health. You can use negative feelings as fuel to motivate you in order to gain positive experiences. In my opinion, a counter part to the issue of social media we currently have is that as a Nation we have lost our values. This in conjunction with manipulation of social media, distorts the public perception of what our trajectory as a nation should be. I don't want to list every example and go into too much depth to be perfectly honest solely because the amount of time it would take, but you can see many anti-consumer practices across many industries. The sole focus for the past few decades has shifted to earning capital. Where as before it was earning capital, but also establishing a brand as opposed to cashing in on one. I've notice this shift in many "creative industries," such as gaming, music, film. Producers of such content now seem more focused on their quarterly reports, than actually earning the respect and trust of there consumers. Meaning they're always looking for the next best trick to milk the cow so to speak, with little regard to cow's well being. Short term, being an important point because consumers can and have wisen up to said practices which in turn sours there relationship with any such company behaving in such a manner. Ultimately ruining the consumer/producer relationship, then harming the producer (EA Games for example) and finally the consumer, because our economy isn't stronger when businesses fail, and the consumer obviously exist with in that economy. In all, I feel this problem stretches far beyond social media, this is a consumer/producer problem brought on in part by the internet changing the rate and ease in which we can exchange information in turn creating a sort of wild west dynamic within the market place. In a time of rapid evolutionary development, it's in our best interest to solve this soon.

do you not understand how an interview works ? he is putting questions forward to him that the audience may be asking at home in order to have answers for anyone that may be moking him. the interviewer should be a conduit for the audience at home and play devils advocate in order to get some balance. do you actually know another about Krishnan Guru-Murthy either?

Tips for using social media as an intelligent tool, instead of a mindnumbing drug: 1) Most important of all: _Know what you are looking for!_ Inform yourself about politics, culture etc. in other media, books as well. 2) Compare your trusted sources to general sources, like Wikipedia or actual books. 3) Install a Adblock on your browser = No more ads. 4) Dial up the private settings and safety settings of your browser. 5) Close your browser at least once an hour, and delete your browser history. 6) Invest a few bucks on a VPN service. 7) Never go to online shops in the same session, that you have engaged in social media.

You don't need to be a valley insider to know what facebook is all about.

Guru-Murthy is just being his obnoxiously unprofessional self.

So, the moral Borderlands....RESPECT Homeless people. They seem to have worked out the world.I sat and shared my dinner with one last week. Beyond doubt, he was possibly one of the sharpest razors in the pack...and then some. Anybody can find themselves homeless. I was there during the eighties. Always fascinates me about some folk's great memories of the eighties. Mine were sh*t...as were most of my friend's lives. Maybe folk forget the bad times too easily. Pushed me into becoming a published pro songwriter...WITH A VOICE..hence... """ DAYS OF AUSTERITY """ Verse 1 Flashy cars are passing me, In these days of austerity, ..Which make no sense at all, Pre-chorus. Ohh..how can the rich have a ball??, When most of us starve or fall, And can barely afford food, Or anything... good, ..God, it makes no sense at all. CHORUS IF YOU CAN HEAR ME,..HEAR ME!!!!, IT'S TOUGH TRYING TO BREATHE..NEARLY, LET ALONE, SURVIVE, IT SEEMS, AND A LITTLE UNDERSTANDING, AND A LITTLE UNDERSTANDING, MIGHT HELP...PLEASE. Verse 2 These scars are breaking through, This skin of mine, once tough, And which takes some getting use to, It takes some getting used to. PRE- CHORUS here again. CHORUS here again. BRIDGE/MIDDLE EIGHT. AS FOR ENCOURAGEMENT, MR GOVERNMENT, Maybe you could ration, A little compassion, Once in a while, It could be fashioned, With a little tongue lashing, But not like your..current style. CHORUS here again. Finito. Copyrighted(Sonic Foxx Music)
