Yeah well the Sisyphus 55 channel is changing me into a super cool guy actually
Good for you man
always has been
🙏🙏
Nice for you
You always were
mom was right. It's that damn phone
My mother too
well, now our moms are probably browsing instagram and reflect the trends forcefully to their kids
@@Shiruvan 💯
😮
yes, my mother also
So in short: instead of direct external validation, social media motivates us through others’ recognition of us being validated. Trippy.
Recognition? You mean like the phenomenology of spirit?
I was around when forums were the social media, and forum people tend to have real life meets more than today's many online-only course for social. Since I felt neither sincerity or authenticity was rewarded or even if it did I seemed to have missed the validation entirely, so I was left to go either minding my own or to go online to have my social time, surprisingly for almost 20 years being terminally online, its been that way, its shallow, but some numbers seem like better reminder than sheer emptiness I felt from even the sincere compliments(not that I didn't count my blessing, emotions just seem too self-detached due to some reasons seemingly objective against it)
I'll quote your short to remind me how a long winded, and self-manipulating way it is to feel validated through social media
The guy who proposed the theory(?) also has an awesome yt channel Carefree Wandering. His video series on media theories (where I think he mostly derives his theory from+daoism) are also some trippy shit..
@@Shiruvan Kinda wonder about the aspect of social media superseding meat space, with the very limited interaction afforded social media. It's like amputating your personality.
And very strange that this is the default for social media, where you could have enhanced communication, but it's something different now.
Add in financial incentives, and its the worst aspects of manipulation (for all parties) of mass media.
it´s both external validation. where is the difference?
I've been on a social media detox since November 2023, after feeling like I was having the worst time of my life throughout the entirety of 2023. I do use RUclips tho, but there's no real interaction going on here and I don't bite into the clickbait-y thumbnails or news headlines anymore either.
I can already feel my nerves coming under control because my brain just has to think about less now. A huge part of my day that I spent scrolling through other people's stories and trying to present myself in a likeable way to them is gone now. It was really tough at first, but now I almost feel relieved to be free from its clutches.
To anybody else struggling to put off social media, trust me when I say this but it really isn't worth it. There's no amount of rationalization that will make scrolling through snippets of other people's happy lives be justified. Don't set up a blocker like Cold Turkey or something. Steel your resolve, keep thinking about quitting, and one day you'll suddenly feel that fire. Wishing you all the best.
Not trying to make this social but there are extensions and mods for RUclips that replace clickbait, remove shorts, etc which may make it better for you (not saying it is bad to exercise the thought of purposely not clicking though)
I agree with you. I quitted using Instagram from end of 2022 and I'm trying to control my usage by using reddit in browser... I hardly want to interact nor I interact only when it's absolutely necessary for me to learn something better.... I've installed app blocks for RUclips for me stop coming back often as well... It's so damn good to be mentally off social media.... It works like a charm and I hope this message is spread out even more. And yes as the other person says, use Re-vanced.
Thank you for taking the time to write that out. Evidently, many others appreciated it as well.
The problem with authenticity is that we think that a Human being exists in a void, and it is separate from the society, and world, and that's wrong from the beginning, We always relate to other people or other objects." I " doesn't exists without others.
Authenticity isn't "total" authenticity, to be authentic is just to not conform to what other people want you to be, and just do what you want to do. Like if everyone else likes one thing and you just happen to like it too, that's authenticity, but if everyone likes it and you don't, then don't switch your opinion, stick to what you believe
You see this a lot in gen z and younger. So much obsession over the aesthetics. Now, aesthetic is identity.
It isnt bad, if it doesnt affect your life negatively. Working out is fun. Shaping your body the way you want to is fun.
Everyone finds different things fun. What you see on social media does not reflect the whole world. Its just your own personal bubble, that is shown to you.
Obsession over aesthetics is nothing new. People in the 80s didn't wear those hairdos for practical purposes.
What OP means isn’t wearing a hairstyle or working out. They mean taking & regularly changing personas often something that doesn’t fully define that individual as people are complex, and displaying that visually in order to attain attention and validation both outside and online. This is something that only happens when you’re chronically online and let the internet dictate who you are instead of logging off and figuring it out on your own.
Changing aesthetics every 4 weeks while loading your Bio with “demi-pansexual GNC INFP Scorpio Moon Free Palestine” are absurd methods by Gen Z & Gen Alpha to bypass getting to know themselves and one another as people. It’s tragic.
@@maremike2691 the shallowness, laziness is definelty hurting you. Society in large collectively. Everything you do affects other people.
RUclips is the only social media presence I maintain anymore, and it's barely social.
Thank you. I had an epiphany and realized that my brain was rotting and I'm addicted to the internet. I'm now completely going cold turkey on what I've done before. Basically, I deleted all the fun apps off my phone, turned (most) notifications off, made the text bigger (accessibility), and made the color grayscale. Today I signed up for the SAT and took steps to have better hygiene because I struggle with that. I thank God
Edit: And I deleted all social medias from my phone, blocking them on my computer. I'm only allowing myself long-form content from YT on the computer or flatscreen. I've banned all short-form content
Your videos are so good at night for some weird reason, I'm up at 2 am and usually I watch it while doing some late night work. Its just so peaceful compared to how overwealming videos are nowadays, please dont stop posting!
It’s not changing who we are, it quite literally defines who we are.
unfortunately, yes
makes me wanna go vintage button cell phone. texting is really all we need. and local internet-capable machines. we cannot undo the internet. but i wish social media was different
“Dumbphones” some have different options. Keeping Spotify, maps, hotspot capabilities
@@brandonmeens real, i do need spotify
The marker of adulthood is starting to become the moment you realize that phones are a big problem.
Instead of coolness, one of those factors should be showing the whole self, the good and the bad -- or at least the illusion of a whole true self. People don't always like to see cool perfect human beings. They like to see people shortcomings and flaws. It makes the social media relationship more relatable and personal. It makes them think they know the person behind the profile.
social media has 100% reduced my self-esteem. I'm constantly subconsciously comparing and orienting myself against a bunch of representations of people while simultaneously avoiding interacting with people in real life..
Technically speaking, everything has the potential to change who we are. That's just how the evolution of the self works, really.
Bad and stupid people find no worthwhile identity outside of the artificial one they have online, being unaware it's something they've been assigned.
I have an extremely hard time maintaining a social media presence because I generally refuse to submit my identity to profilicity (not really an intentional thing- I just don't like putting on a persona), but in doing so I quickly feel invalidated because my authenticity is not valued in that context.
This feels like an intro to something. Sinstnypss pls keep talking (my hate for the social media grows with your each word)
I believe more about this can be found on a podcast episode with carefreewandering. Fair warning: he shows signs of being a bit of an ideologue on his main yt channel but this specific idea doesn't seem to be originating solely from that point so its a (fairly) unbiased conversation
I consistently make the mistake of not turning my brain on for the first 30s of your videos, then have to rewind and re-focus my attention. Thanks for keeping me honest and thoughtful
Seeing your being seen is an interesting concept. Means we all know what’s bullshit and what’s not. But when you try not to create a persona your best shines when you don’t try to carve it out, you don’t know. Life does.
Bro I am only 22 and have been feeling like this for YEARS now... always been thinking about things way too much but now I feel like i am actually right this time. Social media fckijng sucksss
It do3s😅
Im 18 and i feel the same i feel so exhausted just by spending 5 mins in instagram lol
Emphasizing authenticity in our online interactions not only fosters deeper connections but also helps maintain a sense of self amidst the noise of social validation. 👍
maybe it isn't the phones. maybe it's the fact that a lot of kids and adults do not have a "third space" to inhabit, such as a YMCA, a local garden, a skate park, etc. maybe if we all had a place to congregate outside of school, home, and work, then we might use our phones less.
In the last couple of weeks, I've been studying this actually, what a coincidence. Is a great topic for investigation, and I think that, for better or worse, it actually portrays contemporary society very accurately.
putting our thoughts to words, perfectly. keep it up man
Great video as always, it's amazing how even if they are 10, 5, 15, or 3 minutes long, the deeper content behind your videos always makes me re-think something
I love ur videos they really help me look inwards and also gives me new perspective's on different views
It’s like trying to imagine life after capitalism in that we are all completely trapped in it.
Let's go, I thank you so much I was struggling with suicide, I watch a lot of your videos, and my life has be great I found a girl, and I found that philosophy gives me purpose, I thank you for saving my life.
Love that for you man. As someone who also recently recovered from an episode of suicidal ideation, it’s hard to start, but we’re going the right way in life ❤
I never understood social media and I’m so glad I stayed away from it, even though it alienated me in school. I’ve watched it utterly consume and annihilate people.
Not just seen - But seen as being seen. Wtf this is deep
I wonder now if someone could only build his identity with one component, like only authenticity.
You always post when I feel like crap. Thank you. ❤
I love how he can convey thought-provoking topics in a short video :)
Carefree wandering… is that you?
Aren't we always in a state of constant change and feedback, and social media is one modifier of many on the direction of that change?
Thank you , feels like you’re finally giving us the concrete thoughts for something we always felt
so the question is.. has your social media’s successes and failures directed to to switch the content you put out thus changing people’s perception of you?
But how should one find proper validation when they don't get seen in real life? Maybe they're sensitive on their looks, grew up in a rough household, or suffer from mental disorders, but life never comes with an instruction manual. How are they supposed to find "True Authenticity" when society doesn't care?
I think everything you interact with, you give some to and take some from, whatever that means. Even atomically we're constantly gaining and losing ions from the world around us.
Thank you again, Sisyphus, for helping me with my essay and my life
Love the short form content!
real
maybe the old folks were right; maybe phone Bad and book Good after all
of course, a lot of older people have been especially brainpoisoned by social media, so the jury's still out on whether they can be looked up to like this
We are always changing; while it is interesting to observe how something changes us, we can only continue on and keep changing while holding on to the pieces of ourselves that are core to us. More ship of theseus dilemmas.
No i refuse to the virtual convertion of the identity ,humans are more than that ,and be reduce to an point of rissible characteristics of my persona,is quite stupid to be honest. I better leave the virtual world and be myself
carefree wandering vibes!
love how the video is so short like social media short form meta
Flesh simulator has a video about how reddit is run by a section of the air force cyber wing. So we are certainly being influenced be the powers at be.
Of course it changes us
The irony of me wanting the exhibition value of how many likes this comment can get.
What does it say about me, if i don't care about making friends even if i feel really lonely, and even if i don't care about making such a profile on social media, nor on getting anybody's attention, but if it still bothers me on why nobody really talks to me in their free time, and i spend my free time lost in my thoughts
Esse est percipi. "Internal validation" is to give up in life.
i been thinking about prolificity so much cause of your videos/ podcast
I tend to "like" or bookmark/save stuff ai want to revisit. It's not a great system, but I also don't post much, so I seek other areas for approval/validation.
i think it just brings out the worst in us
Yes. Yes, it is.
I LOVE CAREFREE WONDERING
The best time to watch "The Boys" and "Gen V"
what are you on about ? this went all over my head
Yeah, profilicity we call narcissism
SISYPHUS 55 IS BACK YEA
Absolutely yes
Legit lost my phone and I feel extraordinary. Imagine that.
Yup
Ofc😮
Hey Sisyphus 55, what music is it that you use in these videos?
Yes
yes it is!
Attention, Acclaim, Approval
That explains certain characters in political spheres
You and horses should do a collab video
Yeah that's why I just post random shit now
Did watching this make anyone else psychologically nauseous?
trueeee
Im lagging but if this is a video of how social media is changing who we are im going to flip
Ayyye guattari talked about this
Watching videos like this makes me stop doomscrolling.
‘Ight. Imma head out and touch some grass now.
This was awesome, but far too short
How do I stop equating my social media profile (on this case, instagram) to my self-esteem? I have nothing to show on my profile that would be considered cool and thus feel talentless and invisible
embrace yourself...when you always look at life through other people's lens,most of the time their glasses make your vision blurry🤣
Why does this video feel it is incomplete?
Shorter video then normal
this isn't viral so the content isn't popular enough for me to consider it
realness
maybe this isn't the right place to ask for this, i apologize, please move on if you don't like it, but if any of you have some kind words to offer a stranger dealing with social media cyber bullying i would appreciate it. i've been wishing for some kind words for days and i just haven't gotten them. i understood that i've been too addicted to social media and i will try my best to move away from it from now, i promise.
bullies often have huge insecurities thy try to hide by attacking you, take care but take solace in that
love yourself...
I missed my dose of Sisyphus55
Yes and no.
we are seeing evolution in real time.. hard to look away and not believe it
Always has been.
Valugagement
Now watch Ranking of Kings
Is this a re-upload i swear ive seen this before?
did they only upload half the video?
So Taylor Swift need not be sincere or authentic.
I hope this comment trends.
its trhe french
I think you offer a good criticism of the ideological hegemony that is expected in a lot of these social circles, however you offer no real solution to the hyper awareness of social standards today. Fundamentally no one will change because there are no positive incentives for anyone involved.
I agree Hasan is hot
And Vaush is not
blabla
Nuh uh
First!! Please validate my comment!
No Views in 57 seconds? Bro fell off.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
