Rampant Narcissism 2
#26976263 - 10/08/20 10:47 PM (3 years, 3 months ago) |
|
|
A friend introduced me to this guy the other day. Makes these poingnant 1.5 minute clips of social commentary. And seeing them helped me to put my finger on one of the aspects that troubles me most about what the youth of today go through (to the point that another Mod here said the other day 'I'm fairly sure anyone born after about 2010 is just totally fucked' - and I found that - actually - I completely agree with him).
Rampant Narcissism, at its finest:
I mean I can't blame the youth for getting caught up in the wave of this egomania and self-obsession, but man, does it not strike you as a gift squandered, and so much energy wasted? Why make any real positive change in oneself or the world when one can gain the admiration of thousands by doing this vapid shit instead? It is, after all, no work at all really... I'm not sure what the point of this thread is other than to share these vids with the gang cause I think they're funny and to have a little vent about this shit, so feel free to chime in with anything and everything.
-------------------- Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not. --Jac O'keeffe

Empty shells. All of them. I wonder if they wake up one day and think 'why did I waste my life like this?'. I truly hope they'll wake up one day, but looking at this, makes me think they are resistant to such thoughts.
Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Jokeshopbeard, I needed a good chuckle.
It really saddens me that this is the world today, so many people fascinated with their own ignorance and idiocy. One of the greatest achievements of humankind is the internet, the knowledge of the world with unrestricted instant global communication. Yet this is how it is utilised....

Yah seriously this is like the boomer post of the year. Little kids don't actually think like that. Tiktokers are like modern day clowns. I think u just don't get it. Its the same thing with like mighty moms who think kids are eating tide pods. Its like no mom idk what kinda age prejudice zoomer stereotype they played on Dr phil this week to get ur panties in a bunch but real kids with rational brains knew that was just some internet joke where asa boomers were dumb enough to think it was a serious thing. But yah kids today all eat tide pods and do jenkem cuz tiktok influences told em u get a crazy rush. This generation is fucked the world is going to hell vote trump 2020 to save the soul of America

As I said yesterday, you always seem to think you know better than everyone else.
Why?
How do you know that 'these kids don't think like that'?
Is it so hard to believe we live with a generation of minds warped by social media?

Every generation thinks the younger generation is worse than they are. There are narcissists and self absorbed youth in every generation, always have been. Things are pretty much the same as they've always been if you ask me, maybe a little worse overall, but the young are the same as they've always been.

I honestly think things are a little better over all. Zoomers aren't falling into the modern pitfalls millennials had to navigate. They've learned. Dont belive the hype.

Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Oh wow, so you've hung out with people younger than you before? Well fuck me, that's incredible!!!!

In all seriousness though; we have a differing opinion. That is all. You do not know that yours holds any more weight than mine. At least with a response like this:

I can say 'well, how about the fact that social media didn't exist a few generations ago?'. Do you really think that growing up with the effects of something so all encompassing will not MASSIVELY affect the minds of developing humans?
I can tell you now, I've discussed this subject at length with people from all over the world, and from all walks of life. One of whom is an expert in raising developing minds in fact, and most people do see the change. Even amongst my peers, it is woefully apparent that establishing ones place in the social hierarchy - something which must all do - is completely different now compared to how it was done before the advent of the days when everyone had a camera in their hand at all times and a way in which to preen and present ones doings, via a direct line to millions of viewers, in a way that makes them look almost infinitely more spectacular than they actually are.
Of course I'm absolutely open to the fact that I may be wrong here. I've no doubt for all of mankind there has always been a set % of narcissists. However surely one cannot argue that with the advent of technology, young humans are now presented with an influence which ENCOURAGES narcissism?

Two thoughts here: 1, social media has absolutely had a negative affect on society.
2, so has the generation before us.
I could go on and on about the details, but it’s exhausting and fruitless. The best thing we can all do is choose not to get sucked into the vacuum and try our best to live in our own happiness without it hinging upon strangers’ opinions. Minding one’s own business and having common sense are super powers these days.

Sounds like ur living is some kind of self absorbed bubble where u refuse to believe little kids aren't stupid weak younglings. Other members have now pointed it out as well and u just went off like a cannon on some sick deranged rant.

A sick rant? Can you explain to me how it was 'sick'?
Admittedly I've time to kill so I don't mind explaining my views and shooting the shit about this subject, but I would really appreciate if you would tell me what's sick about that.
Little kids are naive. You were, I was, we all were. This is not a debatable subject; with very few exceptions it is fact.
Hell, many adults remain in that stage and do not mature past it.
It's the nature of existence and our condition.
Self-absorbed how?

Everybody born after 2010 is still in elementary school.
They can't feel comfortable enough about themselves because low self esteem among children is a very big problem.

Oh. Yeah that was just because you're always talking in a fashion like you know better than everyone, so I felt like being equally pompous for a minute there.
I admit, it was in bad taste; it's been a long morning and an even longer night and so I do apologize for my little tirade there.
Do you not recognize at all though how your words frequently belittle others experiencess?

Absolutely not. Like you admitted it was a difference of opinion. People aren't belittling you because they hold different views. Again not everything is about you all the time.

The way you frequently express your views - as in the words you choose to use - does not suggest a difference of opinion but an attitude that 'you know better'.
That's what I'm getting at, that's why I used sarcasm, that's why I pointed the same thing out to you in the national parks thread last night.

I don't think you're a dickhead in the slightest mate. I'm not judging who you are as a person; for it is not my place to do so, and I'm not a judgmental person. I'm sure we'd get on amazingly IRL.
However I do struggle with the way you express yourself when it comes to discussions like these, yes, and whether online or IRL I would make that apparent.
It's not personal brother. I'm bantering with words on a screen is all, and I'm quite forward about it too.

I'm sad that that's all you could take away from all the feeling I've just poured out to you.
I'd be happy to discuss it with you further, here or in private, but it strikes me from what you just said that you've no interest in trying to come to an understanding and a compromise over this.

I do see much entitlement and arrogance with the youth of today. I am a stepfather to 3 of the most self-absorbed, selfish, "I get what I want", nothing is ever good enough kids I have ever dealt with and as I meet their friends, they are the same way. I do blame some of this on the media and advertising: Family skits on YouTube where the kids cannot carry on without WIFI, commercials where the child refuses to eat the dinner the parent made so fixes the child macaroni and cheese, kids trying to get the attention of the parents (to get what they want) by doing something drastic like about to roll a bowling ball at the parent's collection of fancy vases, ect.
I call these American brats "Children of the Empire" and I find it to be a very good indicator to reveal the beginning stages of the fall of society.

Would you care to cite some examples? I have always loved to learn and to have my eyes opened to things I'm unaware of.

The name is also kind of feminine, or maybe french. Everything french sounding is also feminine sounding.
Though I did suspect you were a dood. Shroomery is 90% old white dudes, after all.

One of the names I used to DJ under was Sylvester Dilsnique. The names Sylvester means "wood" and dilsnique is a french interpretation of the word dilsnick, which in old-school hip-hop meant "penis".

This maybe true but would like to know of some examples. If it has existed, it has not been to the extremes of encouragement that it is today.

I think you negate to consider how pervasive electronic devices these days, in a childs hands, are in pumping that shit into their brains as compared to when it just came via the television.
I also think we should consider a father of three as having a little more authority than us childless ones when it comes to being able to observe it in action.
And seeing as you ignored my lengthy PM I can't resist my desire to say 'or are you an expert in raising children now too?'.

exactly, but even more so, the aesthetics of our culture have shifted, but at the heart of it it's still a capitalistic atomized society, where ideals like community, greater good, and compassion are not supported by the material conditions of most people's lives. Our culture is a feedback loop pushing us away from connection with our fellow humans, and its only to be expected this will be the result.
Of course there are people acting in the other direction, but most people will live lives that reinforce their cultural mythology, it's just what we do

I have two daughters (7 and 4) and we are quite strict in how much screen time we allow and what we allow them to watch
They dont have phones or gaming setups
I use digital devices almost the entire day and to be honest I dont like what its doing to me and the influence computers and the internet have in my life

that seems wise, a lot of young parents I see these days just hand their kids a screen to distract them in every situation, and then act surprised years later when those kids are antisocial, addicted to games and any screen, and don't show them appropriate respect.
I think there are real downsides to over-reliance on technology, and over-engagement with social media, which need to be managed. To my mind its a lot like issues with drugs, sex, or any other pleasure source. Healthy well raised and conscientious people will be able to manage their use properly, but they need a healthy groundwork to live by, and if their parents and culture won't provide that, their chances of being maladaptive probably skyrocket

not that I'm a perfectly adapted person or anything, but I didn't have video games or regular computer access until about Middle School age (and we never had TV channels), and I think that was very helpful growing up,as I spent way more time drawing, reading or exploring outside (also grew up on a small forested island which helped too). I notice compared to some of my friends who played video games from a young age that I'm a good deal more patient and less easily bored...
however most of them are way better at working with computers, which is actually pretty vital to a lot of decent paying jobs these days, so perhaps its a bit of a toss up

With some obvious exceptions, it is my personal experience that people in company top positions have for the most part great social skills
An older guy I work with regularly was telling me that young entrepeneurs dont even want to meet in person anymore

My twin 12 year olds and 13 year old don't have phones and are not allowed screen time at all during the week. We don't have a television connection, just a screen where we can play movies and games on the weekend, though they do have their own tablets that they can also use on weekends. They find these kids who are obsessed with their devices funny. They call them "Tik-Tokkers". It's a derogatory term for kids who are emulating the behaviour in the OP. My kids friends seem pretty solid as well, no real idiots among them
So while there is a lot of this fuckery going on I do believe that there are a lot of young people who are just being normal, but of course we don't see that on social media because that's not video interesting. There's not a million videos of kids playing games, or drawing, or swimming in the pool, or just generally being kids getting loads of views. That's hardly interesting to watch.
It's a lens of perception. Just because we see something most we tend to think that happens most of the time. But our perception fools us, even as adults we can be just as naive as we were as children.

Agreed. Most kids I know are more grounded than I was at their age. When you turn your camera on everything that is provaocative, you could be fooled into thinking everything is provocative.
I was thinking last night they have to behave more because they know cameras are turned on everything they do. For example they are being filmed if they go raging through the streets like my friends and I used to do.

There is massive group think at play with social media and constantly needing peer approval. When you factor in many kids are in daycare now also so it begins even earlier.
I have several nieces and nephews, my oldest nephew is like 10 now and my brother was in a custody battle over him for years, the mother didn't have any interest in raising the child other than for financial incentives. To the point that my brother offered her 2 weekends a month and she pays nothing and they agreed.
Point being while all that was playing out my nephew got away with murder, because my brother was afraid of the custody battle. There is a lot more poor over worked people raising children that leaves children further more susceptible to the people that use social media to influence children.

I never found these types of humour funny myself. But since you mentioned Jackass I find it worth pointing out that I feel this was where a lot of the self-deprecating and/or humiliating behaviour from nobodies became popularised and encouraged as a way of seeking validation. Everyone wants their fifteen seconds of fame and will do just about anything to get it; this is narcissism at it's finest.
I'd also like to share some statistics for those in this thread who think social media is not changing behaviour or having a negative impact on children. It is plain for all to see

I cant really comment on kids being hooked on FB, Instagram and TikTok, I never got into those, but I have always been hooked on message boards, even now I can spend all day alternating between Shroomery, Reddit and Youtube, I guess a couple differences is I am not just posting selfies or live-ing what I am doing on the street, generally im on boards related to my interest
I spend a lot of time on reddit like r/fasting and theres a constant influx of noobs asking noob questions like if a multi-vitamin is good enough to supplement on a long fast, and its like, no you need sodium and potassium and perhaps magnesium, but I dont mind answering these questions, just spreading what I already spent time reading and they havnt, so maybe its slightly more productive then posting selfies
but im only obsessed with the internet when im at home, when im on the street the only device I have in my hand is my e-cigerette, Im not very social, but im not a phone zombie either

hey eggs have every nutrient required for building a baby chicken, and if you drink coffee, or are on a low carbohydrate diet, or sweat when you exercise, you are probably low in salt, if salt taste good you need more, your brain triggers the reward system when you are deficient in salt, if you are good in salt it starts to taste bad

I dont this time of year, but in the summer I sweat buckets just walking 40 minutes to the store and back, and I drink coffee, you dump more salt with coffee then you would have if you drank water

I'll agree with you that if your blood pressure is normal, then you don't need to restrict salt, but don't count on your body to tell you what's good for you. Mine loves sugar and hates exercise. Hypothalamuses are notoriously bad at math.
