What happens if you are a zoomer and you have consumed internet content nonstop since you could think? Well, you tend to overexpose yourself to things...to the point that world might feel fairly boring and familiar by even age 18. This of course doesn't just apply to zoomers but to everyone and it is one of the most destructive trends of our time.
It's probably a good idea to realize the good times have passed, Lord Ape. It doesn't mean anyone should just call it, but priorities are most likely going to have to shift. I am in the process of figuring that out myself. Not sure if I'll succeed in my future endeavors, but since the novelty of everything I once knew is gone, perhaps I should create my own in a sense. The novelty of being a positive example in whatever way I can.
Thus spake the Lord of Iron!
@@thinking-ape6483 I am honored, King!
Were the "good times" really that good though? Maybe for some they were. If your childhood sucked it might be the opposite for many people.
@@sg137iu89 that's a valid point, but I'll clarify that when we older fellers refer to "good times" it's more of a vague way of saying we enjoyed the matrix when it actually seemed like a quality system and the chaos wasn't being blasted right in our faces daily. Sure, it was somewhat of a facade, but at least it was stable for a time, and much of that stability was because of how we perceived everything in our youth. But a crappy childhood can render that concept moot, for sure.
@@lord.of_iron I agree. Simpler times it seemed like for sure and appeared in some ways more stable. However as Ape has pointed out in the past the disconnect between what we were told about say women and how we were "supposed" to relate to them and their exhibited behavior was often disappointing, confusing etc. And our ignorance often led to humiliating circumstances that we put ourselves in that if we had the knowledge wouldn't have done so. So there is good and bad with every time period and after that time is done it is human nature to look back through rose colored glasses because we forget how things actually were. One thing I have realized as I get older is one set of problems/annoyances/suffering is usually just replaced with a different set of those same things in a different form.

My life is better now than it was when I was 18-24 years old, but it will never be as good as in my childhood.
Same. I'm 37.
Is that because childhood is better, or because the world at the time was better?
Ignorance is bliss, when children our worldview is not yet corrupted and set in place. Processing all that new information is fun, everyday an adventure.@@Excalibur2
@@Excalibur2 maybe both, but the world sure does age like a glass of milk rn
My childhood, teens and early adulthood sucked and honestly it's just a constant catch up game for me. Quite frankly this catch up game is the biggest cope in my life
because it's better late than never but it's not like you actually catch up. You just have to amputate your past,present and some of the future just to stay afloat in order to deal with compromised time
Can't tell if my brain is just rotting or if everything is just legitimately worse.
Both can be simultaneously true.
Both! 😎
Both
It’s not worse overall though. It’s really not but if you watch doomer content all of the time you will rot your mind
@@brianmeen2158 It really is worse overall.

@@anarcho-savagery2097 No but it was on the news a few years back.
Men, unlike women, think and live for the future, while women only live in the present.
When you steal a man's meaning, you steal his soul.
Interesting framing, that is why I prefer working with natural systems. There is always hope for the future, next harvest. Next planting season. New type of farm animal. I adopted a viewpoint: "I have X growing seasons to live, what will I do with them? What tress to plant, what vegetables to plant? What animals to farm/hunt?" Simplicity.
Great perspective!
Thanks
It's probably why women are so 'stubborn' when it comes to admitting fault or changing intuition of self. They just can't comprehend the idea of a time frame beyond their observable perception.
Like the analogy of the men in the cave who live their entire lives watching shadows pass by, they do not know that there's an entire world outside of the cave.

@@shreksburgers Doubt it. I live in northwestern Thailand near Myanmar and laos.
Sounds boring? Maybe.
There are as many if not more fronts to a potential WW3 as compared to the previous ones.. who knows. Then there is the potential conflicts throughout North America.. the possibilities are endless with the number of foreign nationals that have come in.. the establishment has gone pretty hard these last 4 years with the constant provocation in the media, propaganda, obvious indoctrination.. the support of the many corporations and organizations and other entities backing absurd ideologies.. on every level on every front.. I mean the mask has been off for a while now.. their confidence speaks volumes really.. bold and blatant. They have many peoples attention.. the intended targets attention that is.

The burnout leads to analyzing and understanding patterns to its fullest extent.
This is me. I keep my phone on do not disturb at all times, and have it set so that no one can see that is my “status”. I reply to texts when I want to and look at missed calls when I want.
I too am overwhelmed by being hyper connected and often just want to be alone in silence to decompress.
Going to a waterfall or the beach and floating on the water helps. It is the best you can get when you are not rich enough to enjoy a sensory deprivation chamber. For me it is always like a religious experience, I do feel connected when I'm in that zone.
Im 33 and i feel like we were the last generation to feel safe and excited to ride our bikes all over town and it was totally normal.
Same bro, 32 here, 90s kid, 00s teen, 2010s young adult.. all had definite cultural defining moments. 2020 onwards is and has been the downfall of all things great imo. Starting my 30s and I feel more lost than ever.. totally opposite of previous generations, and watching all this happening to gen z much, MUCH earlier… is messed up..
I have noticed novelty being almost nonexistent in the entertainment industry but I feel that is mostly because the corporations want to play it safe. They want to beat a dead horse that used to be well loved long ago instead of thinking up new ideas.
Everything we love is dead
That’s why we must create our own way :) I’ve been working on a comic & have tons of movie ideas written down. The world is our oyster boys. We’re in a new renaissance.
Keep up the struggle. We believe in you.
Hope you'll make something as good as Berserk and it has an ending, lol.
@@unknowncommenter6698it’s more of a graphic novel than a comic & it has an ending. I don’t want to drag shit on because I have other plans. I got a good bit of inspiration from Berserk & manga in general. I love how Japanese stories are unpredictable.
@@unknowninfinium4353thank you.
Great endeavors but why is EVERYONE working on a comic. Surely there are other mediums of artistic expression.
Maybe cos it's easy? Just saying

The internet has desensitized ppl
We used to have lunch while we watched people take capital punishment in the public square.
This is nothing new humans are brutal.
@@CEOofWasraeldo you really think being "desensitized" is only applicable to that? You can be desensitized to anything.
You will become apathetic after a while to anything you have been exposed to after a long enough time. Get out of myopia
The "desensitization" argument is bs, as far as I can tell. As CEOofWasreal correctly pointed out, we've experienced far, far worse than the things the average person sees on the heavily filtered internet. It's normal and a good thing to stop being too sensitive to stuff. Children are sensitive to certain things until they become used to them. It's part of growing up. Wanting to stay in a state where we're sensitive to everything is wanting to go back to an unnatural, childlike state.
@@CEOofWasraelyea but they still had a sensation , now people watch gore compilations and feel nothing
Not even wonder or excitement
That’s the difference, I’m sick of you people saying this is nothing new and that this cycle has repeated itself. No this is something entirely different
@@notreallyafamousartist695 it’s literally always been like that. We wrote plays, songs movies & books based on gore. We love it as a species.
I remember watching old TV clips of the Beatles on Ed Sullivan when they first went global. They all looked happy and excited about it all. Flash forward just two years to a press conference during what ended up being their final tour. They were all very sullen, tired and even depressed. Everything gets old, even being in the Beatles.
they thought they were more popular than Jesus at one point. Sorry but Metal bands like Iron Maiden and Megadeth will be more fondly remembered for music skill and meaningful lyrics. Boomers will have to accept it. Pop culture evolves and gets better. We look back at the 60's and laugh at the stupid hairdos and hippy clothes for a reason. The drugs they took made them think they were so spiritual but capitalism and materialism triumphed over thier pagan lifestyle and these guys all wear suits now the hypocrites. Illuminati still runs the matrix and artists still enslaved by greedy publishers.
You have to GRADUALLY wean yourself off over YEARS. It's the only way back to being YOU again.

It's not easy to quit addictive stuff though. Our phones for example are necessary to function in society. So it's always by your side. You could turn notification and stuff but the fact that everything is digital now means its too late.
Its getting warmer, and the heat makes people more prone to rage and outbursts. Take care as we progress into Summer, to stay spiritually and mentally fit. Water off a ducks back fellas. All it takes is a few seconds, an impulsive action made in anger, to set you back years.
There is no end to novelty, just like there's no end to work. There's always something else to do and there's always something new. Novelty is not always external.
I used to care so much about holidays like Halloween and Christmas when I was a kid. I have cared less and less with every year, let alone every decade even starting in my teens and I am turning 37 at the end of the year.
Having kids can kind of reignite the excitement, as you have someone new to vicariously live the excitement through.
Ive really come to hate Christmas. Whether youre a believer or not, the holiday itself just breeds depression, anxiety, resentment, fear etc.... Whatever good it used to do, is a Hallmark Channel farce at this point.
@@Excalibur2 I like your username and while I was writing that OP I was thinking the exact same thing.
As a kid I loved Christmas.
As a teenager it lost its magic.
In my 20s it became meaningless.
Now in my 30s I actively dread it.
Every year, as soon as that two weeks leading up to Christmas comes around, a wave of depression comes over me. I can't help but think back to Christmases as a kid, when grandparents, uncles and aunts would come round to visit. They're all gone now, and the few who are left never visited anyway.
@@bluesrocker91 why do you dread it? Is it the stress of figuring out gifts for everyone?
I remember first playing “King’s Quest 1” on my Tandy 1000 PC when I was 12. Blew my mind. Now in my 40’s, I have 400+ unplayed games on Steam, and what do I do? Take a nap. Everything is so boring…games, tv, music, travel, even sex. Enjoy your youth, kids; the older you get, the more bored you get. 😅
I'm discovering the retro games I used to play. The state of modern day gaming makes it all the more tempting. Simpler games, simpler times.
Yes, I left the console and PC games because of the SBI incident. I've noticed it a long time ago and switched to mobile. Now I play games which can reward my time with money. No more paying to play if I can be paid to play. I've made an investment and it paid off. Now I'm sure that if I invest more and work, more money will come. This surely sounds like AI/bot comment, lmao

Indeed, nothing is new under the sun. This video is Solomon's lament in Ecclesiastes, from which that phrase was taken.
And even Solomon’s lament was taken from the Athenian hymns, where the author opines “from the noble fates flows all of man’s artistry, and all of novelty on stage and in song is stolen valour unless we dedicate our song to them”
That particular section of the Bible is quite interesting and I often refer to it when I feel pressure to hustle more. That plus other existentialist works like Camus' Myth of Sysiphus or Tolstoy's 'How much land does a man need?' And some Buddhist teaching on non attachment and the impermanence of things.
I think our reliance on habitual exposure to algorithm based information has kept us in a loop where novelty is hidden due to the hijacking of our explorative nature. Novelty lies in learning new things. Reading books in the age of attention is novelty.
For all it's pitfalls, I would never be what I am without the internet. All the books I have found, all the movies, all the comics and interests I have are because of it. I love internet, with all it's beauty and uglyness.
me too. People would not have multiplayer gaming as good without the internet. But doomers have to see the dark side of tech only.
Very true and scary that very soon our internet will be limited
I agree but I think all of that was from an internet pre TikTok/short form content. That changed the entire internet, when’s the last time you’ve found something new that contributed to one of the things you’ve stated. Probably much less than before
@@steelearmstrong9616 There will always be pushback to communism. Look at america and the gun rights issue: have the radical left disarmed them yet? No because the good guys outnumber the bad guys. All George Soros and the globalists can do is fake events to make us scared of freedom but that trick isn't working this time. Nobody believes their claims. One of the reason Elon Musk bought twitter is the fact that without a Cyber Town Square where both sides can debate things in public, you won't educate the brainwashed masses. Prior to him buying it, there was all kinds of censorship to gag people on the platform. Again: there will always be pushback.
It hit me today that nothing is new or interesting anymore. Insane timing on the video.
Welp, finally subscribed to your Patreon.
Given all you've done for me and many others it felt like the least I could do. I spend so much money on other nonsense it wouldn't sit right with me if I didn't give even the bare minimum.
Going forward I do plan on putting more of my thoughts out there regarding your videos.
Regarding internet overconsumption. I have to agree. Ever since I left High School I noticed how much the internet vacuum had been sucking me in. Twitter/Instagram/Snapchat. Countless applications that I found myself mindlessly wasting time on. I have long since removed those Apps. While RUclips can definitely be a time waster, you can find much more valuable content on it.
Nowadays I've realized I need to roll back even harder on my internet consumption. Especially as I aim further in academic and personal pursuits.
I've started to read more and create more things I find valuable. It's definitely important to take a step back and reflect on our lives.
Hmmmm... I could stand to gain a lot by doing such a thing more often.
Thank you. I appreciate it.

The Jordan Peterson example fits very well. I remember the Biblical lecture series he did in 2018 was the best I had ever heard about anything Biblical. Now, I can only hear about “wrestling with God” and “striving for the highest ideal” for about 10 seconds before I realize it is just a re-hashing of older and repeated information.
Same with red pill and black pill content
Can’t afford to live in a mud hut or log cabin, holy shit we are so brainwashed.
I'm sure I suffer from Anhedonia, that's the inability to enjoy anything whatsoever; I think that's part of being a schizoid and particular one in later life. I'm pretty out of the loop and out of the game in this world.
Ultimately, for me, the internet is a good thing. It lets me indulge my hobbies and interests endlessly. I enjoy the company of virtually no one, and unless someone shares my hobbies and interests, and is actually not a lunatic, socialization is a heavy drain on my energy.
The issues at the macro society level have become the micro, and due to that and other things, 99% of people are completely insufferable. People just talk at you, not with you, so I've said fuck it. At the end of the day, you have to control the variables you can, because not only do people not give a shit about you, but are active emotional vampires. Truly evil.
Maybe that seems extreme, but I've learned the hard way that attention is the most valuable resource you have.

I think something could still be said about the fact that the "novelty" that's obtained from online is very experientially limited. Just because you watch video after video on skateboarding or you watch videos of something else doesn't mean you know what it's like to have the going through your hair as you ride a skateboard or a bike, and you'll never experience that through just watching videos. No matter how burnt out you become from things you see on the internet, there's still tons of novel things you could do or experience offline. There's a difference between the novelty of discovering that something exists and the novelty of actually experiencing it. I've had that happen to me a number of times where I thought something seemed boring when I watched videos or saw pictures of it, but it was something new and novel when I actually experienced it for myself.
At the same time, though, I think there's still enough novel things on the internet that it's "impossible" to run out or become "burnt out" because there's simply too many novel experiences. Anyone that's burnt out like that, I would argue spends too much time focusing on the same few things and should branch out a bit and explore. You can get burnt out by watching the same recommended videos from the same youtubers you watch day in and day out all the time, especially if their message is exactly the same every video (e.g. Better Bachelor), but there's so much to explore on the internet. I've been using it most of my life, since the pretty early internet, and still to this day I'm constantly finding new, novel things.
When you're a kid, novelty is everywhere and it all comes to you -- whether you want it to or not. When you're older, though, you have to actively search for the novelty. That's always been the case, both now and before the internet. I believe it's out there, even on the internet, but if you don't actively look for it, you'll get bored of seeing the same things over and over playing on autoplay from your recommendations. Another possible reason for people being tired of everything could simply be due to depression, and depression is skyrocketing right now.
Great insights. I don’t relate to the novelty is dead at all. Maybe people are just too jaded to see there will always be new challenges. And yes, the internet is no substitute for the actual analog world
I think that's one of the subconscious reason why people have kids...or pets even (& no I'm not comparing having a kid Vs a pet). My point is that you can buzz off the kid or pet experiencing things for the first time
Example: how many times have you heard, "oh Christmas isn't the same now the kids are older now" that was it was, a sort of 2nd hand novelty.
The only reason people have children is fear of dying alone. The system is so isloating at the bottom.
Have a hobby/career that forces you to continue to learn and get better--that challenges you. That has helped me to stave off novelty, burn out, and boredom.
yeah, somethings never lose their charm no matter how long we've been doing it. Its important to keep those pillars in your life whether its Xbox, working on engines, a job... whatever gets you engaged.
What if even those are no longer giving that sentiment or fulfillment? When one has simply looked at everything and wondered why? It's not out of sadness or longing, but apathy to it all?
I liked my hobbies, but in right now wondering why anything? The sentiment of everything is mostly gone and it's giving a sender of unease.
Am I just tired of it all but not out any reason other than a wave of apathy? I don't see the point of things as an observer and participant. I'm perplexed by this and more so why I should be perplexed of being perplexed.
A difficult career will be stressful and life ruining unless you have good capability of memorization and a high IQ that guarantees you never struggle intellectually but rather learn new things immediately. If it is not trivial to you, eventually management will assign you an impossible project that will burn you out and potentially ruin your career. Those managerial parasites will scapegoat the employees to cover up for their low IQ incompetence for demanding deadlines instead of listening to the experts.
One advantage of nothing is pleasurable is...Nothing is too painful either. This way I can rationalize my diet or exercise or learning a new thing without worrying about what others may think.
"Nothing is too painful until you are dead".
Whenever I encounter a task I have subconsciously convinced myself I cannot do I actively remind myself of the time lying in ER dying from a collapsed lung and massive plural infection and how back then in that bed I decided to stick the middle finger up to death itself and fought to live. If I can do that, I can do this inane meanigingless thing now, because I faced death and won.
Only someone whose never experienced significant pain would say something like nothing is too painful
Lately I have taken refuge on chinese series and games. I'm watching a lot of donghua shows and playing cultivation games like Wandering Sword and Tales of Wuxia.
It has been an amazing experience. It contains everything I once loved in western entertainment.
Beautiful girls to romance, men being heroes and saving the day, no politics, just a hero training hard to protect those he love with the help of his friends.
Have you played Hero's Adventure: Road to Passion yet? It's another good wuxia game I've played back in Jan, and it does all the things you've just said minus the last part which you can either be a hero or not since the game has multiple endings.
@@Ghost101 No, but I already bought it! Thanks for the recommendation!
I buy these games day one and at full price, to support developers that really deserve it.
When I was a kid, if you had an interest in say keeping pet tropical fish, in order to gain information you had to seek out local experts who would hopefully share their knowledge with you. Both parties got something from the exchange, there was a 'specialness' to the knowledge gained by the neophyte and the expert felt good to have his expertise validated. Completely opposite to the present situation where all knowledge is just a click away but has very little value when you don't need to earn it.
@@PeterSsailing 'Kids were like mini experts at stuff,- That's exactly it.

We are at the end of our epoch.
I sense this in young people when I see them out there. It's difficult to connect with them, so I tend to just leave them be because I think they have a very rough road in front of them. They don't have the ability to just enjoy the simple things (depending on their upbringing of course.)
If I were to describe what's happening out there, I think the internet has essentially sucked out their consciousness through their eyeballs.
It's not just the internet that has sucked out our consciousness...it's everything. The constant noise in modern life, drudgery of schools & workplaces and the compulsion to keep 'busy'. You can't enjoy simple things if you've never been exposed to the simple things...whether that's through your own ignorance, upbringing or lack of individuation because you don't have the strength to not follow the crowd doesn't matter. It all leads to the same end point - the human being has been hollowed out.
As long as I'm making my own stuff, I don't think there is a way to run out of stuff to enjoy.
Oh there is a way trust me.
As a kid growing up in Australia, we never got snow. Watching American movies and in particular Christmas movies filled with snow had me wishing that we had snow. Now as an adult I couldn’t think of anything worse. The closest that I’ve been to snow is my kitchen Freezer. I do however love the rain
Perhaps one could argue that experiences on the internet are different enough from IRL experiences, that some of the novelty of actually experiencing something on a first-hand basis is still there. The gap between these two types of experiences is certainly closing, but they're not quite comparable in many cases.
Chat gpt 4o has got me intrigued again especially the voice chats I have with it
I have a two and a half year old nephew, and watching the wonder that he clearly has for the world is quite something. I was sitting with him in the forest near my brother's house, showing him some apple trees, and he wanted to know everything. Obviously, he's too young to articulate or understand the nuances of nature, but the interest is there.
Compare this to me, who at 37 struggles to find the motivation to get out of bed in the morning. I dread to think what someone who is 80 would feel.
When we consider how much we have extended life and that we deem it a good thing, did we ever stop to consider whether a shorter life could be better? Give me 30-40 years well lived over 90+ years of monotonous, meaningless existence anyday.
I am 38 and feel the same: Slowly but surely I am becoming some kind of workaholic, because I cannot find anything meaningful outside of it. I completely lack the interest to buy something, have something, earn something. I dont know if I am blessed, enlightened or clinically depressed.
@@dorn885 I think you need to care to be depressed.
I feel the same way. I have zero interest in the next 40 years.
@@JesterMax24 Nor do I. It's conceivable that I could live another 50 years, with the last few decades probably spent in pain as my grandparents passed their last few years. There needs to be an option for people to opt out peacefully, and I think things are moving in that direction at least.
I was fascinated by airplanes as a kid. Now that I work for the airlines as an adult and see “how the sausage is made”, powered flight has lost its magical quality and has become cold and mechanical. Ennui is the price we pay for knowledge

I am getting over the numbness caused by overconsumung youtube videos, podcasts, music, games, corn and high caloric/ultra-processed foods etc. with consuming less _(especially less cheap/mass produced imitations...more cooking and baking for myself, repairing clothes, etc.),_ challenging myself/voluntary discomfort and learning mindfulness/stoicism.
The latter two has unlocked entirely new perspectives for me just from observing and thinking about how I experience my mind/body and the world around me more closely.
I've slowly started seeing colors more vividly, been able to noticeably raise my appreciation for big trees, a body of water, people/animals, whathaveyou...just feeling the wind on my skin when out biking without a destination.

I'm easy. I'm 37, have a busy and stable life. Have my house, business, familly, yet I still get my kicks from both small, and large things. Maybe it's the degree of someones curiosity and wonder. Was driving in the busiest part of a city, high up on an overpass, parked on a slope going even higher at a light. Next to me was another light post situated on the cement barrier where people walking would wait to cross. In the centre of it, was a 2 by 2 patch of grass for some reason. It had been dug up by ants however. Swarms of busy and fairly large red ants worked away around it. I was at the light for less that a minute and just couldn't beleive this site. So many questions. Do they go out at night to hunt for littered food and drink on the road? Or do they brave the day traffic in death like isolation? It was amazing. How did the queen get there? Why there? I'll never forget that. To this day I support local artists and writers. Aslong as their honest with their work and don't use ai. I get a dopamine rush from it everytime. An imaginative massage every so often. I recommend someone try it out. Give them a few ideas, and let them create.
Best thing we should do as a society is shut the internet down. Net negatives on humanity completely outweigh the positives. Stuff the economic benefits.

Solution: stop consuming, start creating. Creation is more fulfilling than consuming.
True. I never got bored, even when I am home alone and I am not even creating much. On the contrary I wish I had more time, I could learn another language, read few more books, and who knows, maybe write my own.😂
Not everyone has the energy and motivation to lose themselves in creative endeavors. I agree it is the ideal cope though.

I was always happiest creating things but eventually you just run out of ideas
@@JesterMax24 Creating things gives me more energy, not less.
Frankly, it makes sense in theory. But in practice, I remember my childhood as composed mostly of being bored, and suffering terribly for it. Over time, boredom basically disappeared. At 27, my issue is, if anything, that there's so much salient stuff, that it is overwhelming.
Partially, that might be stimulants. I remember how I was before I started using these, and it was horrible.
I'm 63. I'm not sure the internet has anything to do with this beyond maybe to heighten it a little. I believe some set of people have always tired of life's superficial nature. Looking inward to create satisfaction becomes the goal. The place I try to get to is a place of humility so profound that even the word "humility" loses its meaning.
I'm an old soul at 24 who feels the exact same way. I am very attached to the internet as a coping mechanism though.
Naw the internet has 99% to do with it. It’s common sense mating and dating if no women had free attention from men they’d actually build character to be useful on Society or if we weren’t a godless america people and women would do better and nothing wrong because he’s watching them. It’s failed.
If one’s ability to perceive expands at a rate faster than one experiences this never happens.
Things are just a lot easier now, for eg a mate and I were reminiscing about ID'ing tracks back in the day. This gen 'dosent know the struggle', I mean I really appreciate the facility we have now - think of a track you wanna hear and within a few clicks. you can be listening to it
Before spotify/youtube/mp3/shazam it was a case of engaging with the DJ (if possible) or heading down to your local record store and persusing through dozens of CD's. It was a lot harder but in hindsight those journeys created wrthwhile memories I guess. Similar to going to blockbuster and selecting movies to watch, that was kinda fun too and has been lost to technology
Something is lost when you can have it all at your fingertips
I think internet and video game was bad. If I were to choose a generanation it will be the boomer or Gen X. I would choose my generation, millennial nor any generations that comes after.
I would’ve loved to be born a middle class boomer in the early to mid 1950s, if I had the choice.
Good and bad.
Seeing other people do tasks you are interested in can give you a bit of experience in doing the task even though you have not actually did the job. But you feel like you've done it in your mind. That is good. RUclips can be a great education and seudo experience. So the novelty is diminished but the feeling of achievement and involvement is exalted.
To me it isn't so much about the novelty of having experiences, it's about sharing experiences, going through hardship, and building a future with someone I want to love. Granted I'm in 🐈⬛ 💊 spaces such as this one, so of course I can confidently say my love life is pretty lacking, to say the least worst of it. So yeah this cuts both ways, because I'm a relative stranger to romance, literally in my 30s and only had 3 gfs, none of them longer than a year, to me most experiences with any new gf beyond the scope of a year would be novel. Shit like an anniversary, vacation with a gf, cooking meals for each other, taking care of each other while sick, buying an apartment for both of us to live in, saving up for a house so much would be novel.
Again this cuts both ways, I don't have the capability of being burnt out from all female interaction due to my lack of experience. However I have seen enough of my surroundings to determine that this hemisphere of the world is cooked in terms of relations.
It's such a damn shame how many men there are who just want the experiences you talked about. People always say that men only want one thing and it's disgusting, but in my experience there are lots of men like you who just want simple things like somebody to care when you're sick or to cook dinner alongside a partner.
They think we're just horny animals, but all of my fantasies since my early 20s have been stuff like... Making someone breakfast in bed. Or going on a hike and enjoying nature together.
So many "low value" men out there would make fucking incredible husbands/fathers/boyfriends, if they only had just one chance to show that side of themselves without judgement.
But of course, as far as women's thought processes go, wanting to do kind things for someone you truly care for on a personal level makes you some kind of beta male nice guy.
That's always been the hardest pill to swallow for me, that the most compassionate and empathetic men who want to build a healthy and respectful relationship are shot down without even so much as a second thought. And why, because they aren't walking around with something to prove? Because at 29 years old they don't feel like acting like frat boys whose life ambitions begin and end at rizzing random sluts and chest beating at every other male that passes by them?
The only rejection that still hurts is when I'm told I'm "too nice."
It's like, well fuck me for wanting to put out into the world the decency and respect I'd like to receive in kind. I guess not being an abusive, unfaithful creep means you aren't "man enough" to have "earned" a woman (as if you're even getting anything of value after you do earn one).
"Oh yeah, I definitely spent the last 16 years working like a Hebrew slave just to prove I'm finally worthy of low-effort starfish sex and one word texts from someone with nothing of any interest happening in her life besides whatever side-dick they're bouncing on this week."
Im constantly trying out new hobbies and activities. I get a new job if the old one isnt working after a year or two. I can't feel. Im 29 now and every year since 16 i felt a sharp decline in anything. My 16th birthday i noticed i had to fake enjoyment. After that day everything else rapidly fell away. My life since 19 has been like eating stale bread. I bought a house at 25. I felt nothing at all. I got a nice sports car and felt nothing. I woke up and planned a vacation to party with friends at the drop of a hat and i felt nothing. I hurt myself some times to feel something. Ive cut my tech time in half and my porn consumption is once every week or two for a short time trying for no time at all. I dont know what else i can do. I feel like im being tortured.
I feel you man, I'm about 7 years older and You've achieved allot more (still renting , never had six figures) but i feel a similar Sense of malaise / apathy. Just have no motivation to strive for much more than the minimum I need
Worked in corporations for 17 years. Nowadays it's impossible to work because of the crazy CEO demands. When AI appeared we were forced to work faster and better for the same salary. The bonus was cut. We were expected to go to work and be happy that we had work. Nowadays bosses are crazy. Quit cold turkey without any notice lol Shit, I can sleep at last in 17 years. 10 years ago it was okay to work. Today you are expected to work for an idea without any pay rise. I understand Gen Z that they don't want to work.
The recent ~fireworks show~ at Notre Dame was likely not accidental, it was most probably a covered up attempted removal.
As for knowledge, even if the 10 000 things tire you out, wouldn't there be fun in noticing hyperpatterns? Correspondences where they are unexpected? And then reeling in the common and simplest explanatory principles? I think this sort of reasoning exercise is helpful to make sense of things while remaining an ever intringuing stimulation.
I believe that the human mind is infinitely creative. There is no end point and it will always adapt to fit to the current paradigm. That being said, things like communism and modern beauracratic governments, corporations like in media and entertainment has stifled and inflicted penalties on human ingenuity because they have occluded and sought to control the human condition.
Global trade has made the world more boring for the most part. There's no local culture expressed through items, because often every type of thing is made in one place.
So we got the internet that made it easy to sift through content, and a more boring samey real life world of cheap products.
I think tariffs should be in order. Power shouldn't be so concentrated, and people need their industry back.
Otherwise we embrace the consuming ennui.
It's over for noveltycels
*It never begun….*
Billions must be excited again
Foundations for novelty for youth are non existence due to interent / algos. Nice observation SD. My escape from this lack of novelty is to the 90s and my research work, poker tournaments and my brothers family. For me, it is still very much 1994. I have worked hard over the years to keep it thag way
For me I think Television and the Internet has taken any want from me to Travel and see new places.
I've seen most of it in a Documentary or the News, and anywhere that used to be beautiful and pristine is now polluted or now private and unapproachable.
For me it was the internet exposing just how shitty most humans are that made me disinterested in travelling or experieincing other cultures.
Those feelings were reinforced by shitty parents and a non-existent extended family, then being turfed out at 18 with no skills, no job and no hope.
As far as video games go, I look for and find novel experiences. Not always completely different, but maybe an older idea with a new twist. But I do sometimes play a game so much that at some point i just decide I'm done, and I do think it has something to do with dopamine squirts in my brain.
With technology it has really diluted the element of surprise and 'wow' factor. There is no real surprise anymore, you can see a place for example within a few clicks. You can go to said place already knowing exactly how it will be. The art of surprise is dead in that sense.
A philosopher seeks new philosophies and experiences. For commoners, that later-life phase turns into making children and coursing on auto-pilot until some terminal disease strikes, which works great if everyone is swimming in money.
Part of getting old is that everything gets old. I bet you still look forward to taking a dump when all the restrooms are occupied. There are still things to look forward to.
Yeah a lot to look forward too. Working, paying bills, paying taxes and coming home to any empty apartment to play the most popular video game and watch corn. I'm excited
hehehe you are good with words that's a wonderful eloquent example
@@MrOdaddy2011 Everything gets old. It has nothing to do with being happy or fulfilled. You reach a peak in whatever emotion you want, and it eventually just becomes an average experience. You do it enough times and it just becomes a routine. Life is just a routine. It's not Disney magic.
I personally don't romanticize & or wish to return to my childhood, because I know all the pain & injustice of my adulthood was still present I was just ignorant of it...
Your videos are always so astute
Ive been thinking about this myself but couldnt put it into words as well as you, well spoke 🙏
Of all the problems in life, lack of novelty really does rank low.
This was a really good discussion, I would like to see more of this kind of content. Not watched any of your videos before. Notre Dame was actually burned down a few years ago by the way.
definitely burnt out on everything at any early age i would say 18. haven't had a desire to do or learn anything from the reasons you stated
Moon man moon man cant you see?
I binge listen to your videos back in 2019 after a break up.
I'm 25 and I have felt like most novelty is lost. I didn't initially attribute it to the internet, but the more I think about it-- it has to be.
There is no novelty in the dying cosmos,all things (novelty aside) are falling apart from entropy
All things, as in matter. Isn't the fact that those things existed in the past, mean they had the potential to exist, and that potential in and of itself is a form of existence? Therefore all things are falling apart, but they are, as opposed to there being nothing at all. And the fact that they are speaks to the fact that they could be, since they have been. That is to say the fact that anything even exists in the first place along with the implications of existence existing abstractly, in and of itself, are a bit preposterous.
@@michaelcarroll5801 no
Yea, a 20 year old in the West, has probably had a smartphone for over ten years, so you know they are burnt out. I mean people were burnt out even after the pandemic.
It doesn't help either that our economic system does NOT incentivize people, especially MEN to actually be proactive with what they bring to the table, the workplace is becoming more and more about conformity and less about innovation. Also, more and more men are starting to get to get the short end of the stick from society.
I can relate to what StarDusk is saying in this video, but it's not really a big problem for me.
Im always able to find novelty when things are going stale for me.
This channel is very underrated
Now we're just desperately looking for scapegoats instead of admitting that this world and therefore life in it are just shit.
you familiar with thesanitymachine channel?
So in essence it's like a portable tv that you can easily switch videos from. Could've been heavily addicted to the VHS, TV and radio back in the day too but I guess there's more search novelty with the internet
Not entirely true. I could watch a million internet videos on "What is it like in Iran" but until I actually go and experience it for myself, and I will have very little idea. The world is full of peak experiences and new things to discover. You just have to actually get off the internet and put in the effort to go live the experiences yourself, the internet is robbing people from doing this. It can never compete with real life.
Whatever man. Humans are still humans. It doesn't matter where you go you still have to wake up, eat, shit, sleep every single stupid god damn day
The magnetic pole shift is, and will be, progressively novel. Are we having fun yet? 😁
Sometimes it's useful to take a break from novelty and to go back to one of your old favorites - whether it be a video game, a book, a TV show, a record or anything else. I recently watched a documentary on Tetris world records and realized that, while I can't even count how much Tetris I've played in my life, it had been years (or possibly even a decade or more) since I'd actually played. I decided to make a point of sitting down and playing, not distractedly on some free smartphone version while I waited for my laundry, but properly taking time to play on my Nintendo in front of my TV with a controller in my hand and then playing again the next day and trying for a higher score, etc. It's still possible to enjoy the simple things in life.
That's most true for me intellectually. I loved philosophy. I thought, read and listened to a lot about deep topics like where existence comes from, what moral values we should have, what is the meaning of life etc. I spent 9 years doing this intensively and loved it. Then, when I was 23 I couldn't find anymore novel ideas and it got boring. I completely stopped philosophy. Now, 3 years later. I am quite rusty about my philosophical ideas and can't express them as well as I could 3 years ago but I don't have the motivation go back to it to sharpen myself. I will just remember the old things that I already knew about and I don't think I will enjoy the process. That part of me is dead. I don't know if it will come back to life.
variety is the spice of life...comparison is the thief of joy
Young boy is curious, sniffing out any shit
Old man totally disinterested steps into it.
A 15 year old is not a kid.🎉
I'm burned out with waiting for surgery. I have been waiting it for years. I need to keep waiting 4 more months and after it I will get rid of depression and lack of positive energy
I grew up in a rough way in the 90's. I was involved in a life of crime and drugs in the armpit of NJ. The things that I was exposed to eventually pushed me into a decade of recovery, counsiling and a PTSD/ anxiety disorder. A 13 year old kid can watch a cartel member get his heart torn out and fed to him and the darkest of dark pornography from the comfort of their own bedroom. How does the over exposure of these things affect the minds of young person growing up today?
The algorithm took me from Sargon of Akkad through a philosophical journey ending at the actual Sargon of the actual Akkadians. It does seem that you start to see the repetitions where we're kind of just re-discovering and re-stating the same things over and over. Heaven forbid someone do something actually sexy, entertaining or new because the woke won't allow that. The only thing I look forward to now is my can of spaghettios. No house, no retirement, no wife, no family, 48 years old. What else is there? Only this.
Your an OG in black pill / manosphere comment sections
Having ADHD this hits home even more. At this point there is no choice but to limit RUclips usage to the bare minimum and alter the algorithm as much as possible by not recommending certain videos and channels. Its insane how much time was spent going through this rabbit hole.
I think its not necessarily having experienced everything that causes burnout, but more so dopaminergic burnout in general. Two very similar issues however I think the latter better explains this phenomenon. I sure as hell havent experienced or seen everything but even novel experiences dont feel that exciting anymore because of how toast my brain is from overloading my brain through the internet.
The world feels different
Use the Internet sparingly. It makes the time you’re on it more meaningful.
That guy is so angry because he's only got three fingers on his left hand.
" My mind is a centre of Divine operation, and Divine operation means expansion into something better than has gone before. " Quote from various texts printed in the 1800's What's that about the saturation of that which peeks interest and what one might only be able to call PsychoSpiritual warfare. Also I expect notnilc will make this comment invisible. Be well fellow humans, cool cast as ever.
