That joke was practically a necessity for the crowd to let go of their preconceptions and... pay attention.

That wasn't a joke. Just because people laughed doesn't make it a joke. It just makes it true.

The thing is.. in a lot of workplaces.. they want us to see each other as competitors. All that matters is how much money we bring in.

Literally in this world. We don’t help one another and we’re at each other’s throats

As the proverb says: “among two fighters the third benefits”

This is the problem with western culture. Western culture inspires unhealthy competition, being #1, big money , me me me

What's different in your music when you make it for other people? I'm curious, because I would think that regardless of who you're making it for, you'd know what sounds good or not.

@@-JaggedGrace- it's not so much about what sounds good or not, it's about taking chances... one's more inclined to take chances and try something new and different when it's for themselves vs for other people, and there's always going to be greater fulfillment attached to that whether it sounds good or not... with other people, one might create something more in line with what they know the masses would enjoy, vs taking the risk of producing something off the beaten path that might not have the same reception amongst the masses... it might still sound good but it just won't feel as good... when one stops caring about such things, life becomes a lot more enjoyable.

@@23Guitardood That makes a lot of sense to me. I agree now.

Thankyou for this

Ironically, sounds like an instagram quote. People and things are an essential part of our existence too. And while goals are def imp, it's actually a pretty toxic way to live day to day, especially if you have a static one - because you'll feel incomplete before it and directionless after. Just sayin xD

Is this really from einstein? Lol it doesnt really make any much sense cause a "goal" could be a thing or a person also.

@@gambasfile7157 a goal could be a person? if you're talking about getting in a relationship then it can't be because if they're not interested from the first glance then its over my friend. women lie when they say looks don't matter, they're the same as men. looks are very important and other factors play a part also such as personality and character but they come secondary when looks are not there. a goal is something which is entirely 100% by your own effort and other people have choices to be with you in whether relationships, friendships or business.

Joe Rothwell facts. I have no other social media but I’m addicted to watching KZfaq.

I think all my followers are bots lol I don't know but I look at it as a photo journal

Take your like, you dirty attention craver >:v

And the platforms feed into it by boosting whichever content gets the most engagement, so we viewers end up feeling like we’re doing the creators a favor by commenting on their videos. Which, of course, only leads us to become hooked on the attention we get for our comments, and the cycle continues...

Then don't comment for attention but for the need.

Yes, I stopped posting on Twitter last year after a bad breakup (I needed to to learn self control) but during that time beforehand I was thinking that everyone would find my reposted song lyrics cool and me as well which never happened but since leaving fb and Twitter - I have more time to actually talk to people.

@@Odin_Borson i think it's got to do with the work they do? If someone is doing some work, but remaining humble you'd feel a bit in awe of them, but not if they're not doing work

@@bhadrakadabra Not all those scientists, military leaders, social activists are getting who are working for countries honestly ,who are truly doing the job crucial for our survival and protection; but how many of them get the attention, recognition ? The work factor comes in the last , attention is given to what entertains you , to ur senses. Attention and honesty in work has no relation .

@@Odin_Borson i didn't say it's just for actors. Also i definitely respect health workers so much, the amount of work and effort they put in is a lot. I dunno why you think they don't get attention for the work they do, or recognition. Of course actors do get lots of it because they're constantly in the limelight.

@@gsahara8405 oh ffs

I agree with you about the transformational power of a community that focuses shared attention on a particular aspect of life (like AA, Church, and I would add human rights groups, etc). And to your point about paying attention to the thing we *Don't want to pay attention to, I have found community essential to the process of developing self-compassion as a therapeutic tool. I can't imagine how one can exercise compassion if they don't receive it or watch someone else recieve it. Which again requires paying attention just as much as accepting attention.

Seriously.

Twitter stans' culture

I've seen in a few videos of actors sharing their experiences with being in front of a camera for a movie set vs. being in front of a live audience like in Theatre. Some people prefer one over the other, and vice versa. It's some wild stuff.

A movie/TV actor does a 10-30 second cut, in front of crew he knows, repetitively over and over until they're satisfied. It'd be easy to do that and still be uncomfortable public speaking. Theater actors, however, wouldn't have this excuse.

@@onikin Most good and professional actors have experience in theaters

If every student think like this, there can only be... Happy & Smart student in this world

100% half my Uni life I spent comparing my grades and the attention of my professors. Then something just clicked, and then I realized that I needed to enjoy my learning experience, my colleagues were my friends too and they became my collaborators. When grades and being competitive didn't matter anymore, but _learning_, being happy and helping others took priority, my grades went up... I ended up happy and with a good GPA.

@@papl20 great! I'm happy for you. Any strategies that you used?

live to shut up, observe and learn.

live to excrete, not compete

@@Roopfert nothing wrong with compete, depends on the context.

Yes yes I think it was really important for him to tell people about this observation.

@Eric T. Duckman It's because I see the life I live today feels like a competition. "I want to be the most..", "I want to be better than...", and so on. Feels like other people are our rivals. In fact, in this whole world we need a collaboration to make our dreams come true, we need a company. So when facing a shortage, we might need to ask other's help to complete it (learnt by them or etc) We are all have the strenghts and weaknesses, why don't we strengthen each other to reach our goals by the collaboration? I complete you with things you might not be able to do, and you too. Then "Stop compete, let's complete" That is my explanation of my motto. Thank you.

Fitri Asriyanti He was suggesting an alternative version based on grammar - the intent is the same

That's how it works. Best when you include yourself on the list of things you don't care about.

@@SnootchieBootchies27 I'd say that this "not caring" is usually a consequence of flow, not the setting for its emergence, though if you're generally over-concerned with things I think that would make sense.

Well, it is unfortunate that you have not been able to reach a strong state of flow while simultaneously caring about the world around you. To do so, one must simply be capable of shedding all outside concerns during (emphasis on during) the action/whatever it is that one is paying their attention to. All outside concerns are dropped to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the human doing the task. (Shed all your concerns for a limited time, then come back to reality and care for your loved ones when the action/task you were using flow for is finished) P.S. When humans are legitimately in a state of "not caring" as in the circuitry in their brain that regulates emotion is removed or destroyed leaving one incapable to attach feelings to thought or thought to feeling, there is not a single sense or reason to perform any actions such as paying attention for them for they truly are incapable of caring for anything. Flow is when one is able to use the machinations of the human brain to focus and hone in on a particular target without letting the focus falter from distractions. Successfully reaching flow is when human and task alike are synergetically in motion, in other words, their focus is so disciplined during the flow-state that distractions are unable to hinder the action the human is doing.

There's a book on this subject. I haven't read it yet but hear it's quite good. "The Subtle Art of not giving a F*** "

I guess every flow is like this.

Perhaps it was him setting the tone of "I'm not doing this for your attention even though a part of me still likes it" and also striking a nerve with a common issue

Probably they have been paying attention instead of getting attention 😉

not in many ways. It is that. seeking attention is taking regardless. Paying attention you are giving. No in many ways. It is.

@@edgarorozco3513 Ha ha! You're right Edgar. Thanks for insisting. 👍😉😂

🤣 y'all

It all depends on your motivation. If my job is to bring awareness to a worthy cause, then seeking and attracting attention could be a selfless and meaningful act. It could be more of an act of giving than simply paying attention. It all depends on whether I'm craving attention for the benefit of myself or for the benefit of others. Paying attention to something that brings no one else any value could actually be more of a selfish act. Again... it's the person's motivation that matters. Is it selfless or selfish?

It's why I've stopped trying to make concept art that looks like everyone else's in order to get into the games or movie industry. I'm happier for it.

How are things going right now? I mean, I tried to quit it for a couple of months and understood how much time I used to spend on it. Without it I was happier and focused, but somehow I later realized that Instagram it's not as bad as it seems: ig stories are terrible, you spend tons of your days on them so when I turned back to Instagram I stopped watching them and instead tried to focus on what was on my feed. Now I'm pretty satisfied with this social media

Corinne Vasta social media eats into so much of a persons time. i used tumblr and was constantly on it. i had an urge to hop back on it shortly after getting off of it. that’s addiction. it ate into so much of my day everyday. i uninstalled it 2 or 3 years ago and haven’t used social media since. i’ve been much much more productive with my time.
