Thanks for your thoughts. There has absolutely been disconnection, a fracturing of society and also loss of meaningful existence for many. I feel reality itself is so overwhelming to a lot of people that opting out via technology is a pacifier that is irresistible. The smartphone has been the great amplifying experiment of this stage of the human condition and the results are dismal. I've been recommending a video of great thinkers who are addressing loss of meaning, the sacred, and connection to nature among other things : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y5yGY9SeqcCWl5s.html Thanks for spending your time here.

Thank you for the video. I work with a small team trying to research how AI might be able to help children who are in emotionally traumatic situations, perhaps a wearable device with an AI trained to identify the behavior, and alert human advocates, if needed. While working with Inflection's Pi, I have been learning so much about "emotional intelligence" and how the overwhelming lack of this trait, is leading to the breakdown of both global issues, as well as relationships, overall. If we look at "human nature" as actual "core programming" the mysteries are easy to see more clearly, emotional intelligence is a recessive trait, that must be supported by "stream-lined algorithms" and "strong filters", mainly we are dealing with more and more people with sloppy, corrupted programming, ie, they simply CAN NOT understand us...at all@@MarkDeutrom

Fight with the dark forces. Been there, it almost took me down but I will never allow it again. Fight to maintain order. Fight to have everything clean and organized. Do what it’s needed. God bless! 🙏♥️

One of the oldest memes in programming is "Garbage in, garbage out"...The issues involving AI are utterly complex and existential. For me it's an additional level of data management, as the current obsession with acquiring it is now unmanageable on a human level. I feel there are great and also terrible things in store. Human nature is unpredictable, unmanageable and kaliedoscopic. The attempt to codify this with any algorhythmic application seems the inverse of what it is. There is no substitute for grown humans helping young humans. There will never be programming with enough intuition to replace this.

Thank you for spending time here. Remember this is only temporary and will pass. I appreciate your support also.

Thanks for being here. As I mentioned in the video, loneliness has been part of the human condition for a long time now. You are definitely not alone in this !

​@@MarkDeutromit's funny to say " you are not alone in loneliness" 😅 sometimes I wonder if everyone that feels lonely gather up somewhere in this earth what would they do? They won't be lonely anymore.

I'm sorry for your loss. It's virtually impossible to know what mechanisms are at work even in our closest relationships, or at times even ourselves. Thanks for spending your time here.

@@MarkDeutrom This is true, Mark. It's definitely not something that we are supposed to "figure out." Thank you for your videos, I enjoy your format, and the content is great. I had the privilege of seeing you with Melvins in the fall of 1996 at the El N Gee club in New London, CT. I was 16 years old and just got my driver's license. It was one of the most fun nights of my young life. Hope that you and yours are well.

Neurosis combined with depression can simply alienate people from wanting any kind of interaction from the world at large. You have actually done something to help regardless of it's success. If everyone did the same, things might actually change ! Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thank you for your insight and observations. I really wanted to get into the issues of personal choice that produce isolation and loneliness but I focused instead on the persistence of it as a human condition through history specifically in the art that has been created as a result. Technology has absolutely enhanced and enabled individuals to opt out of societal interaction, while at the same time still feeling "connected". It's yet another simulacrum, and also a huge experiment that we are only beginning to see the effects of. There are deep thinkers that are addressing the loss of genuine social engagement. A superb video I suggest is here : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y5yGY9SeqcCWl5s.html. Thank you for your time here !

Thanks for being here.

I added links to some things below the video. Enjoy your journey and thanks for watching.

Ultimately everyone has their own solitary journey through these deeply personal issues and must choose the path of navigation that works for them. Ironically, these are the kinds of things that all humans share, and also bind us together in some sense. Thank you for sharing your experiences here, and best wishes on your journey.

Thanks for being here.

Thanks for watching ! Maybe Madness might be a quality topic for discussion...

Thanks for being here.

That is cool ! The older you get, the more profound The Hollow Men becomes. Brando was such a genius to bring the idea of using that in Apocalypse Now. Eliot created something timeless and also eternally relevant, especially at this moment. Thanks for spending time here.

This will pass...thank you for sharing here.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll take a listen.

Thanks for spending time here.

Thanks for your thoughts. I feel that there has always been these very human issues throughout history, as I mentioned. Probably the only reason it has been classed as an "epidemic" by various organizations at this point is because now it is infinitely trackable by big tech and more visible as a whole due the rise of social media.In the past you knew there were all kinds of behavior out there but it remained abstract unless it affected you personally. Now everyone gets to see it and interact if they want to.I agree that societal and environmental changes have exacerbated these issues and also certainly amplified them via the rise of the smart phone + social media. This video has some deep thinkers addressing some of these issues among other things : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y5yGY9SeqcCWl5s.html Thanks for being here.

Thank you @@MarkDeutrom

The $camdemic was Pfizer rebranding flu. Ask Gates about Event 201...try Google, before they pull it.

Thanks for watching...there's a few other subjects I will be delving into eventually.

I feel the nature of happiness is somehow more transitory, but depression and sadness seem to linger. Also the nature of mass media seems to dwell more on the awfulness that humans present to the world. I don't have an answer for this but negativity may have more power in the way we process emotions through consciousness. Plenty of people suffer from PTSD, but no one ever has an issue with having too much happiness. Thanks for your excellent question that has made me think about this !

neuroticism :(

The totality of everything is up in our faces through social and regular media and I does feel overwhelming at times. Small gestures of kindness on a personal level seem to affirm the basic goodness of humanity but it can be a tall order to reconnect with that under the current onslaught of negativity. Thanks for your comment here.

Creating friendships is always a risk, but true friends are accept you as you are.

Thanks for watching !

😂 bruh

...which is also made up of lonely and isolated people.

@@MarkDeutrom true.

Thanks for your input. I'm not here to provide "help" but to merely share my insights and personal experiences.

Mostly modern women😂

no plenty of men as well. there are lots of videos of men here on youtube in their 30s and 40s talking about how lonely they are and feeling left out or left behind and i cant help but wonder "ok mate but what have you been doing for the last 20 years to prevent this?" and sure there are differences in personalities, life stories, and reasons. but in the majority of cases i would argue they mostly have themselves to blame. i know a few of those guys myself actually. they dont want kids or marriage, or even a serious relationsip(and even mock those who have those things). they spend all their time grooming themselves, going to the gym, playing video games, watching netflix, some hook up casually with girls some have no relations at all and dont even try to date. some bury themselves in work some stare at a screen all day and worry about their crypto or stockmarket or whatever. anyways my point is you cant just be like ME ME ME ME ME and then wake up at 40 and wonder "where did everyone go?" @@philyeary8809

@@stayhungry1503 men creating something isn't the same as sitting on ass. And, after the hell of a dangerous femme narc, dating in 2023 gets a "fuck that shit". No time for it, I'll help animals and my family, and aid my friends.

Alot of these guys never got therapy for what their mothers and teachers did to their sense of self worth growing up. It's not as easy as flipping a switch to rebuild your trust in people when it was broken down year after year by the very authority figures that should have supported your growth, instead of tearing you down before you even got a chance to live your life as an adult. The first step is to expose yourself to decent, well mannered and respectful people who like you for who you are, without having to fake it till you make it, and good luck finding someone like that in our narcissistic cesspool of a society. Does anybody ever realize that most public school teachers are females of the liberal, boy-hating persuasion? When you have a castrating, demeaning mother at home, condescending and sadistic, insecure teachers at school and a peer group that is steeped in the "rating and dating" game that just sizes you up like a meat commodity 24/7 to determine whether you are a "winner" or "loser" regardless of your humanity, I dont think you'll feel like reaching out to a society of two faced sociopaths and vindictive backstabbers. Women, here's a bit of advice: try being better mothers, wives and partners in general, and maybe more men (and the sons you regularly sh*t on) will actually feel your worth reaching out to. Same goes for dysfunctional men and how they treat women, of course; alot of this stems from childhood trauma and a lack of community support or financial success to afford proper therapy. People lack that one person to talk to about their underlying issues and suffering in their lives, which has to be addressed before you even attempt to be a gregarious, social butterfly. Old fashioned, slow moving, organic communities like the village, tribe or clan are extinct, and we live in fast moving, synthetic networks where social relationships are easily replaceable and short term (think for example of when you graduated HS or college or moved to a new job and lost contact with former "friends") where the individual is reduced to an isolated, competitive consumer who just dumps or scraps someone who disagrees with him/her over minor issues. This is a pathology created by a failing school system, by absent fathers who fail to assert healthy authority over their families, and by ball busting, resentful moms who use the legal system to get what they want at the expense of their husbands and kids. Add social media and substance abuse to the equation, and you got the world were living in. We have to reach out, but it's not as simple as naively assuming you can just blindly connect to the first face you see during the day. We live in a highly disturbed and dysfunctional, unnatural culture that is lacking in stable families and everything is over-corporatized, all of that has to be addressed before we start ripping into people with the typical "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" gaslight tactic.
