All those videos and so little subscribers

Lifting to failure is super underrated in a commercial gyms...people train so easy its unbeliavable...not a singe grinded rep, not a grimace

Most dont care about anyone. Who cares😊 dont care carry on 😊

I've just sworn off video essays in the last few weeks - they draw me and take so much of my time with topics I'm not even interested in, but yours was already on my watch later list and I had no idea what the fourth monkey was going to be so I decided to watch and I'm glad I did, someone lambasting social media is new for my algo.

I want to stop watching WhatsApp status and updating my status

I actually had a tiny fan base of 4 people jk

Just deleted mine. I just started to feel left out and like I'm not doing enough for myself. It drains my time like hell. A week without it i feel so relaxed

Love it

Social media is junk, I should have dropped it years ago.

My daily average screentime on my phone is literally 9 minutes. The highest I've ever seen it in the last 2 years was 29 minutes and that's only cause I was walking more often so I was opening it to change my songs more frequently. I also think it's unreasonable and blatantly and objectively wrong to call screentime "an alternate universe" when what you do on your devices causes very real impacts on yourself on your others, like even with this video, you're influencing people. People make money online and do lots of things that actually matter so I always find the "phone bad" rhetoric to be a reductive projection. Like I've never had a TikTok or Instagram account and the moment I saw KZfaq shorts being added, I looked up if there was an extension to disable them and haven't gone without it since. I think the primary reason all of these issues exist and the reason why people don't address them seriously as often as they should is because it's inherently political, and it's inherently a rightwing and conservative thing and we live in a very leftwing and liberal society. You can't just tell people to not be promiscuous, not use drugs, and have kids. Plus there's a very dramatic divide between the sexes. There's so many guys like you and me who're abundantly aware of these issues, but there's only so much we can do. Like you said it yourself that you don't really have friends, and you're not even the problem. I'm in a similar boat though I have way more problems to work on. I've tried so many things to go outside and socialize but there's so few young guys outside, and socializing with women is even harder and completely different. There are a lot more guys who'll agree that these liberal and modernistic behaviors are bad, but people, especially women don't care as much. If you tell a bunch of people these things, so many dudes like me are going to think you're preaching to the choir while a lot of women would either disagree outright or would think it's some profound viewpoint they never thought about before, and then would immediately forget about it. What I'm saying is extremely offensive, but true and that's why people don't want societal improvement. Addressing the behavioral and belief differences between men and women opens a giant can of worms that most people want to deny because they don't want to acknowledge that exclusive roles are better for society. Like you can say that promiscuity is bad, and you'll have a lot of both men and women both agreeing and disagreeing, but you'll have dramatically more women disagree with men. My mom cheated on my dad, and my sisters helped her cover it up, and told me that I'm a bad person for not supporting my mom cheating on my dad. However it goes both ways sometimes. My grandfather cheated on his wife and had my dad illegitimately. My grandfather told my uncles, but not my aunts. However that was a long time ago. In modern times, I think it's very clear how sexual positivity is more of a feminine thing when it's clearly directly tied to the feminism movement. Traditionally, women couldn't work well on their own so they had to marry. They'd have and raise children in exchange for their husband's wealth and security. Now women can and do work so they aren't nearly as incentivized to be monogamous. For many women, they get more benefit from dating around. It's more fun for them in the moment, and they can potentially gain even more wealth from free meals, moving in with different guys, gifts from multiple boyfriends, men paying for trips, ect. This created the idea of women and even men "playing the field" and waiting until their looks fade to settle down and become monogamous. So with all that considered, it's clear why women are far more protective of promiscuity when compared to traditional structures, they have much more freedom and things to gain now. Like men, women obviously want more attractive partners, and they still want financial support from their partners. Therefor like men women chase the partners they deem most attractive in those regards. However these women forgo monogamy. That means the men they chase often aren't monogamous either. That means many polygamous women have relationships with a smaller group of polygamous men. This is a statistically supported phenomenon. This was and still is a problem in even in more traditionalist and misogynist societies that were polygynist like Islam. That's how Jihadist were able to be so powerful. They literally weaponized sexual frustration by promising men female partners in the afterlife if they died for their army. In our society, most sexually frustrated and romantically alone men don't do much which is the theme of the video. That's why so many of us turn to entertainment. How can you possibly address these issues without insulting women and male feminist? You really can't. That's why positive change will never happen. I strongly disagree with the whole echochamber segment of the video. Political discussions are extremely important. "Echochambers" are literally a personal problem. I see leftwing content everyday, does that make me a leftist? Hell no. I literally watch Christian KZfaqrs pretty regularly despite being an atheist. There's not a single person I've ever met or seen that I could wholeheartedly agree with on multiple topics. It's perfectly okay to consume political content. If you feel like consuming political content threats you than that's probably just because you as an individual is way too easy to persuade. I'm a very rightwing guy, and I first became such from living around leftwingers and liberals and see their philosophies destroy themselves and me firsthand. When I sought out rightwing content as a kid, I agreed with some stuff sure, but ironically I was a Christian then, and most of the guys I watched were atheists I couldn't stand when it came to politics. Judge people on what they do, not what they say. Don't build opinions on a political ideology based on what the ideology says, but what it does. It's not hard. I feel like forcing yourself to ignore politics is neutering yourself and deliberately ignoring important problems that you might be able to help change if you cared.

I really want to quit social media but I’m struggling to delete them being 100% honest and that terrifies me cause I’m 29 now great video mate

Wise man...i think very good idea is to limit social media use with the tools you already have in your phone...you can set timer on apps, i did 15 and then 10 minutes on facebook and instagram and it looks like little but its still adds up to hours every week of time wasted...and then after some time its much easier to erase the whole app, because its just a couple of minutes

Thanks for the video!Please make a video about how not to binge content after a period of offline life. And how to be in silence, be bored (struggling with this one a lot!) and not to run away from your thoughts into content

Comment sing? Well alright, if you insist: Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday dear tadhg Happy birthday to you

What camera are you recording on ?

real

loved this and needed to hear it. from one irishman to another, thank you 👍

Good Luck

I quit social media yesterday and coincidently found this today

This is a pretty neat video of the ‘phone bad, book good’ genre. I definitely agree with you about the screen time, I often think about how much time I waste consuming content rather than doing something of value. The way you talked gave me that feeling of dread, you’re definitely good with emotive language. With the people progression and procreation segment, you probably know most young people don’t focus on these things as much as the past generations because most of them can’t afford houses or get good opportunities and in fact it isn’t party cultures entire fault, but I get why you disregarded it to push your point. Just be cautious about missing facts because you’ll get annoying know it alls (me basically) in your comments going “erm… actually 🤓” The video was concise and easy to follow!! You have a pretty strong voice and it sounds like you did it all in one take, or you’re just good at editing! This video essay deserves more views honestly, and happy belated birthday 🎉

Good luck with everything, this video is very true

I got recommended this by the algorithm with a screen time of 19h 17min .. maybe the algorithm is trying to tell me something

W Have a good day!

This deserves WAY more views; the way I could relate to everything you said was just… oh and happy birthday!

Your video has been very insightful and although I've had similar thoughts and comments on the subject before, I never would've been able to pick out the the words that precisely convey those thoughts as perfectly as you have, nor would I had been able to reach the same ideas and conclusion as you. I personally find no appeal in posting what I think or do on any of my social media accounts but I have seen a few of the people I once knew who do so almost excessively. Even if I don't choose to unfollow them or cut ties with them, I have found myself struggling in trying to relate with or care about them now as their life seems so far and distant from my own. In fact, I'm sure that if I were to cut them off completely at this very moment, I wouldn't feel any sorrow, regret or guilt. It's upsetting to think that had I just not known anything about whatever it is they've been up to, I'm sure that our next reunion would've been more pleasant. But since I already know what they've been up to, I feel no desire to want to know more, nor do I feel like wanting to share my own current events with them. Apologies for the wall of text, I suppose not sharing my opinions and thoughts as frequently tends to lead to me dumping too much the moment I do share.

Thank you to everyone who’s watching, liking, commenting, and sharing this video so far. I truly believe we can break down this echo chamber and start a revolution. For the people with a top 10% attention span, I’ve hidden a repetitive Easter egg throughout this video… I would be very impressed if anyone were to spot it and comment it below 👀 (Hint, it’s something to do with a Netflix show ;)) Keep running it up guys, I appreciate you all!

Love how you don't sugarcoat mate and the car and background setting. Love from England.

It's weird I got recommended this by the algorithm. It's just... Weird

You deserve much more views

Yeah man, I’ve been seeing a lot of these kinds of videos over the years. KZfaq still counts, but idk.

I am not a man who cares very much for social media I’ve never really got it and while I agree people can stand to be less online I mostly disagree with this video but even though I do I am liking and sharing it. And I also respect your ability to put yourself out there by making content

Great fucking video, very philosophical and I can relate to it myself and draw connections with the actions of my peers. Thank you for sharing this perspective, genuinely you've done a great job. Much love

w video man also wishing u happy birthday and have a great year ahead.

Well done Tadhg

I only read what I want. I usually look for videos to watch. I don't spend hours. If I like what I'm watching I will finish it. If not then I will shut it off.

So true ...if you make your real life,it would be far better than creating a fake version of ourselves on these apps ...I have an IG account..but I am not addicted to posting ....its just there ,when I feel like I do it

Very well articulated 👏🏼

Me during a stressfull 2 hour Monday meeting : "this too, shall pass" Also me : "...just like my will to live" 😂 Nice video bro

It will be nice to see if you can show landscapes, local restaurants in the wall to go eat, the good and bad about people that live in Ireland, places to have fun in Ireland…just a thought…

Isn't your generation the one with the most men saying they're women?

'Let time go by' is what I always say to myself which is the same thing. Great advice!

Quitting social media was easy but now I'm addicted to KZfaq.

I experienced almost the same thing...There is some true to what is posted. (any #SoME ) but I learned a lot from youtube videos. Like fly fishing/tying , Real English and other stuff.

A fine strong name indeed! Good man Tadhg!

Good food for thought. I think our mind is quite creative in giving us reasons why not to do something it doesn't really enjoy to do. And now in this day and age there are opposing opinions on everything, so it is easy to find something that sports your worldview even if it is incorrect. I think the "intelligent" way is to try stuff, track progress and see if it works (for you). That is why a lot of people start their improvement with some physical training. Because this approach is kind of obvious and also you can easily see with your eyes people who changed what they are doing making physically visible chamges. Btw when i am writing this, i am starting to think about cynicism as a self defense of laziness and cowardice. It let's you not do anything to change yourself ot the world for better and still feel kind of good about yourself. When I am with

Great video, we are all meant for so much, don’t leave your dreams for other people.

Were on a system because systems are superior to goals. Although you can still have goals, but a system along side that to expose ourselves to luck as Scott Adams said is superior.

It's all a part of their plan. We lack community. We are not surrounded by people that are similar to us, or grew up similar. We are surrounded by absolute strangers, even our own family are complete strangers. "Diversity" is our greatest weakness in my opinion.

Regular person taking irregular action here. So glad I found this! I’m on the fence about following my truth and acting with integrity because that’s what I’ve always been about. I do get that corporate culture, it’s been wake-up call.

Minimize expenses in every way that you can with the abilities or knowledge that you have. I do pretty much everything myself that is my strength and also my weakness as well I don't get help when I probably should however it has still put me ahead overall because it is a strength not just a weakness. Cook, vehicle repair, home repair, teeth maintenance(dr. ellie philips method and some stainless dental toosl), adjustable dumb bells, cut fire wood, plumbing, electrical, business. etc. Although I may have a window guy do my glass it's easier to pay him. Brain fog perhaps eat some healthy meat like beef or salmon and fast too. Water only. Reduces inflammation which I think helps with the brain fog everyone has noticed after the cuuve. Feed the good microbiome, starve the bad.
