I don't trust anyone, and I preach that to my grandkids. This world is full of people who are out for themselves, the minute you give them the benefit of the doubt, they show their true colors. Trust absolutely no body.
I think you’re referring to the Social Dilemma.

The social dilemma used to be on Netflix (maybe still is)."the social dilemma"
Don’t let your impressionable kids be raised by their phones. I see so many parents addicted thoroughly 100% and in denial they have a problem. Marketing people love the influence our phones have on us. Let’s just put chips in all of us to make it more “convenient” for everybody at this point. Plug everyone in like it’s the matrix and be done with it. Parents don’t seem to give a damn and have given up.
I have nothing against these men personally. I have everything against the mere concept of an influencer and social media influence and anyone who allows these people to have any influence. It’s all toxic. And the irony about them preaching how toxic it is, while being an active participant in the toxicity, is laughable. It all needs to go away. These people need to get real jobs and fade back into obscurity. And the end user needs to stop clicking their mouse and feeding the dragon.
I couldn't agree more... its a massive conflict of interest and no one bats an eye at it.
I’m curious…what part of his message I posted is trying to sell you anything except self improvement, namely self awareness and being responsible for your actions?
It’s not just this message, which in and of itself is not bad, it’s the whole persona, the “personal branding” that is off putting, imo.
I agree with most of what you said. But, you could do away with all of social media tomorrow and we would still have "influencers." Just the same as we did before social media. Look at the super bowl ads or any add on TV. Most of them included celebrities (influencers). We can go back to the old model and these influencers (actors, musicians, etc.) will all be 100% hand-picked by the heads of liberal media and liberal record labels. Without social media, people like Jocko and Jordan Peterson would not exist because their message does not align politically with big media. The youth of this world would just be fed what the large media corps pick and choose. That's a scary thought.
I don’t see this as a social media site. This is a niche where people come to discuss matters exclusive to this niche. It is not broad reaching in the way of FB, TicTok, IG, YT, Twitter, Spotify, etc. people don’t stumble into being exposed to Rokslide.
If one needs the internet to learn those things they are already lost. The irony is that he speaks to the evils of the internet, on the internet.
While I 100% agree with what you said I would much rather have those who don’t have good influences in their life to listen to what Jocko has to say than most other people. At least there is someone who they might turn to get some good info.
Amen brother!
