If you pay attention to that stuff, if you fall for it, if you get addicted, your brain will get destroyed.

Basic passive voice

I think the human brain is not designed to absorb all of the world's breaking news, 24-7 emergencies, injected straight into your skull with clickbait headline news.

Adverbs of manner

If you pay attention to that stuff, even if you're well-meaning, even if you're sound of mind and body, it will eventually drive you insane.

I think that's what's happening right now because these are addictive, right?

Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, these are weaponized.

You have social statisticians and scientists and researchers and people in lab coats, literally, best minds of our generation.

figuring out how to addict you to the news.

And if you fall for it, if you get addicted, your brain will get destroyed.

And I think this is the modern struggle, right?

The modern struggle. So the ancient struggle used to be the tribal struggle.

You had your tribe of friends and family, you had your religion, you had your country, you had your loyalty, you had your nationality.

At least you had meaning and support, but now you would struggle against other tribes.

Modern life, we're so free, everything's become atomized. You stand alone, you live in your apartment alone, you live in your house alone.

Your parents don't live nearby, your friends don't live nearby.

You don't have any tribal meaning, you don't believe in religion anymore.

You don't believe in country anymore. It's fine.

You got a lot of freedom, it's fantastic. But now, when they come to attack you, you're alone.

Look at how it happens. Social media, they've massaged all the mechanisms to addict you like a Skinner pigeon or a rat.

who's just going to click, click, click, click, click, click, can't put the phone down.

Food, they've taken sugar and they've weaponized it.

They've put it into all these different forms and varieties that you can't resist eating.

Drugs, right? They've taken pharmaceuticals and plants and they've synthesized them. They've grown them in such a way that you could get addicted.

Porn, right? If you're a young male, you wander on the internet, it'll like sap away your libido.

and you're not going out in real life society anymore because you've got this incredibly stimulating stuff coming at you.

Video games, another way to addict people.

You have entire large factories of people that are working to addict you to these things and you stand alone.

So the modern struggle as an individual is learning how to resist these things in the first place, drawing your own boundaries and there's no one there to help you.

It's a new road that needs to be navigated by young people, there's no map, there's no guidebook on how to handle this.

Our generation is the transition generation.

I think our kids will know how to handle it better because they'll grow up with it.
