I turned off the notifications on my phone a couple of weeks ago and check my phone at specific times a day. If it’s important, I return the call. I got rid of my social media about 6 months ago. Now I’m happy and have real friends. No ones hijacking my brain.
Ever heard of " Remote Neural Monitoring"? They dont need your Handy if they really want to hack your Brain. They are spying on your thought anyway if they want to...
U sound like a fake account that's trying to cover up the trap
Congratulations 🎉! Notifications already turned of, Social media is next.
I've become more addicted to TH-cam than any social media outlet 😂
Free Speech ive been doing it since 2007
its more than addiction for me youtube is part of life i lietrally spend at least 10 hours a day on youtube, i wouldnt say TH-cam is bad to be honest becuse my youtube hisotry is mostly education/nature/documentaries its hardcore platoforms like facebook ,tiktok insta which are bad for you because they bring no educational value just anxiety
Yes but you rationalize.
I'm addicted to TH-cam to.. at least their honest about telling us why we become
'Rats in a Cage'😮
@markcorkum8341 that comment was from 5 yrs ago..idk remember what it was about. But yes we are all addicted to something. Even if it's not drugs or alcohol it could be to sugar or caffeine or even work...we have the tools within to cut the wire to the cages...we just have to wake up..
Im grateful to all of you. This is literally the first Utube 'comment section' Ive read composed primarily of thoughtful analyses, new perspectives and genuine concern - in the absence of the usual negativity, derision, profanity etc. that often accompanies commentary associated w different topics. Very refreshing.
I will add the following:
I suspect the most productive resource we can utilize to maximize the benefits of technology while minimizing it's 'negative' power isn't what economic market system we employ, but rather, a comprehensive understanding of our anthropologically determined brain wiring along with an enhanced 'in the moment' mindfulness of our surroundings, values and priorities. I find functional technological tools helpful - but am often taken aback when I see a 12 year old - riding a bike - seemingly compelled to view his phone while simultaneously one handedly pedaling along a busy street! Thats addiction. Worse, I am fearful that our intelligence seems to have surpassed our wisdom. If we cannot find ways to productively control the 'limbic system - to mind - to action' sequence, I fear humanity itself may be its own undoing.
Hi😊
Well said 🌵☀️🏄♂️🌊
I'm addicted to watching youtube videos that tell me how they are making me addicted, while being completely unable to stop myself.
Now I am a TH-cam addict
That is different. Get out and do stuff. If you live in a good size city, get out and take a walk in a busy section. If you are in a rural section, get out and walk in woods. Every place has an adventure waiting. Go and find it.
Do we all really need these insane phones??? I'm addicted to TH-cam now too!!! I notice I seem to get more unfocused and distracted, wouldn't be surprised if they discover these phones cause ADD.
Right
Omg me too...isn't it awful☹
An EMT pulse or a good size solar flair. Can't come soon enough.
People have BECOME the product!
Rather the Emotion of People have become the product.
Soylent Greed.
Hmmmm... Ow true bt so sad
You haven't "become" the product. You were from the beginning.
true people have become a product..now it's fine to look for information in a phone but what about take a rest..
The internet has destroyed many lives in the same way substance abuse has
Much of the harm drugs have done is due to our asinine war on drugs. Social media is inherently bad. It very nature, its stated purpose is toxic.

Now combine this with Cambridge Analytica like aproaches where knowledge of miliary PsyOps are used to influence elections. Anyone then telling f.e. the outcome of the US 2016 election was not influenced is lieing to themselves.

I'm not an expert. But I trained as a psychologist then ended up going into computers later with my own support firm. It is painfully evident to me that this video is spot on. We are the rats pushing the lever to get a pellet of food. We are Pavlov's dogs salivating when we hear the bell. We are the subjects in the experiment. We've become the product. I wish I knew what the answer was.
Program your own reward system. Be the fish swimming in the opposite direction. They call them “users” for a reason. Stay mindful and know the ultimate choice is always within even if difficult. Love self more than approval from other.
Theirs always a way. Idiots will always take advantage of technology.
Human cattle
Do you think that television has also been messing with people psychologically?
@@tru_710 human cattle as the market to be slaughtered...how can we cash in and take the prodder from the 'former's' hand? We are the cash cows, milked for our time. We have the answers if we are willing to give ourselves more time and subsequent value towards those who have like-minded goals: debt-free, and groups to swing motions in favor of common wealth. I want to stay connected with those who KNOW we don't have to remain as livestock without cashing in on our own 'meat and milk'. I'm open for exchange. ;-) Best to all that are rising!
I don’t use social media because I have no friends... problem solved
and yet here we are my friend ;)

You'll still get friend requests, don't worry.
Ryan Franz havent logged onto fb since 09. no social media ever again. ppl are sheep

I think you mean that sheeple are peep.
It was freshman year of college, was walking to cafeteria while scrolling on my phone. Something felt off, I stopped and looked around. Everyone was frozen in place staring at thier phone. I freaked and put phone in pocket. Kept observing. +20 seconds go on. Everyone still frozen like zombies. It felt like I was in the twilight zone. Then suddenly everyone began moving again like the world stopped for a moment. I sat down and pondered. How often does this happen. Has anyone else expirenced this. I think they are doing something bad to us. We are all addicted and we won't admit it.
That’s a movie by Steven King. Can’t recall the name but the people were like a hive of zombies. And the characters had the illusion of making progress while going in a circle of progression but never arriving. Just happy to be “traveling along”. This video needs a revisit 2023.
Oddly I just read that it is meant to put us into a trance. Sleeping is technically a trance and each level of sleep does different things. It has to do with that. We literally are zombies. They are slowly pushing us toward the world they want. Own nothing and be happy. Literally social credits, no cash, they literally know everything we say /do/go/look/ feel/ see … everything. They made us all wear masks for 2 years. They made us all get shots for what?!! The world right now is absolutely insane!!!
I'm a "targeted individual" and I am experiencing "gang stalking" and am waiting for the 60 minutes piece about this operation and about the technology involved because this piece about smart phone "brain hacking" is a puff piece. What people are doing with technology now is very profound, unfortunately I am a test subject, we are actually evolving, I am having some terrifying experiences, I think crimes against humanity are occuring, the recent fires in California were set up and not the product of global warming, and I am asking 60 minutes to investigate because what is often reported in the media may not actually be the truth. For instance, Larry Nassar may have been "gang stalked" or his court case was illegally tampered with and he could get out of prison. I know these things and it feels like living in a very bizarre dual reality where the truth exists and it is known but then a bunch of scared or cowardice people report our civilization to be something it is not on a daily basis. I start to wonder if I am singled out and in the dark and the rest of the public knows what I don't, and that I am some type of special science project. Seriously, seriously consider that what is covered in the media is not reflecting the truth and many people are covertly manipulating societal events to give a presentation of an alternate reality from the truth. This gets to be rectified!
Gel foot relief pads that stick to your feet work extremely well. The best defense, though, is literal thick skin. Walk barefoot outside often to build up your thick skin and do something with your hands, play the guitar or get them dirty, build up your finger tip calluses. 60 minutes did a video on brain hacking and guess where the sensors were just on the fingertips. Nothing more was needed to tell jumps in electrical pulses, which includes reading subvocalizations (conscious thought).
Cover your ears! Cotton balls in the ears stop a lot of the tonal conditioning and what feels like shocks (fear conditioning). A thick beanie helps cut down on the noise campaigns. It's not the noise that bothers you, but the well timed shock to go along with it.
Nylon knee braces are absolutely necessary. Get them and you're welcome.
A back brace seems to help out a lot by covering your lower backs pressure points. Velcro might attract the shocks more as well.
A leather or neoprene vest will also help stop them from poking in the front and back. Back braces also help cover the pressure points in your lower back and front (bowel control).
You can stick a microphone in your ear to record the voices, you can also amplify it and remove the noise to hear the really creepy stuff.
It's more like a TENS unit, so it'll be weak shocks but a multimeter should be able to find the difference. Grounding mats also help a lot. Your body communicates with small electrical pulses so it makes sense to use them. Tesla's experiment in Colorado Springs also shocked people's feet for a distance.
It's mostly your feet and knees, next time they're bothering you just clench your toes and see what 'symptoms' go away.
Stay hydrated and use lotion. Hydrated skin is less conductive than hydrated skin.
Write your lawmakers daily about neuro-privacy rights. Chile has passed them and the IEEE is a major proponent for worldwide legislation.
I knew for years that my work cell phone was keeping me in chronic anxiety. My depression was out of control. It was so bad I wouldn’t answer it on the weekend, I would let the battery die. I quit my good paying job and took a year off. The best decision ever.
That's very interesting, hope you found peace... what did your do during your time off,
Brain Hackers hate my dead phone battery, but Apps drain my battery when I need privacy.
I took my daughter to the ER and while in the waiting area a mother was there with her young daughter, about a year old waiting for the sick child to be seen aswell. The baby was continually crying and whining, yearning for the mothers attention. Climbing all over her wanting to be comforted because she was sick and unbelievably the Mother mother kept brushing her off and actually ignoring her to look at her phone on facebook. It was sooo sad. She was so engaged and interested on her phone opposed to tending to her sick child..
I agree, that is so incredibly sad. You might be interested in the book, Alone Together by Sherry Turkle. She includes some stories similar to what you've described.
Unfortunately, I do the same to my dog at times. I think he hates my phone.
Enraging this is what this world has come to. Vegetables who no longer read books.
All these geniuses please use the same algorithm to trick our brains to pursue our passions and to learn how to treat each other, instead for monetary value
Good idea. need to find not-for profit who will fund it. I am in if you work this. Geniuses will not do it as most want money and no money in people finding their passion. I am still motivated by this cause. Will find money in other places
That would be nice
OK....I'm officially in love with you.....Fawn for prez!
I already have for the kids and those who were born after year 2000 it's kinda the plan here
That sounds like the right thing to do
Yeah. A lot of us are now staying away from startups that build time-wasters. I only work on utilities, health and wellness, and educational apps.
No more ad-driven business models.
This is absolutely terrifying please please 60 Minutes continue to look into this
skyoneasassin please PLEASE do your OWN research, my friend!
@@w.c.c.b.9798 troll
@@w.c.c.b.9798 why not both? 60 minutes has far more access than any of us. This story on 60 Minutes, carried by YT has introduced skyoneasassin to a concept that it appears is new to them. There is still a place for journalism to show us what we don't know we don't know.
I fail to understand how trivial, how unconcerned individuals here in the comments section, & out in "real life"...The other day we had a dinner for eleven people, after the people had eaten, their hands no longer occupied with the forks, spoons & knives, the conversations "changed", morphed ...& the phones came out...every single one (except me)...eleven people...some trying to hold conversations while scanning the phone, some turned away from the table while still seated, some just got up & left, some close as to not be "rude", some farther...??? Do any of you find this remotely normal?....if you do, I pity you.
U WOT M8
The price people pay for being in a radically capitalistic system is their sanity. Too bad for them, but freely chosen.
No, I find it sad that 10 adults thought it to be ok and not impolite.
Ricardo Ellison It's not normal at all, and I've had the same experience with friends.
Tosh ChanDen The dinner-table is the one social event I have been able to observe intently, the behaviour of those who have these devices. On a personal note, my wife upgraded to her first smartphone from her old "dumb-phone"...myself monitoring, noting any perceived behaviour changes. Our 20 year-old son has fully ignored his new smartphone we got for him, opting instead for his laptop...btw, our son has long since been "ingrained" our courtesy, protocol at the dinner-table " May I be excused from the table?", each & every time...when was the last time you've heard that, if at all?
What we don’t know are the huge unforeseen consequences we will face in the coming decades. Just like a new drug, we won’t know the “side effects” on society until behaviors show repercussions. Scary.
Carla harris already shows.
Please everybody let’s all do something about this before is to late!
life is scary
I think when the general public understands the causation and how bad things really are, it's not going to be pretty.
People joke about thinking something and it showing up in an ad on their phone or tv. It's not a joke.
I was on my phone while watching this...
Split screen...
Lindsey Smith lol
Lindsey Smith, I watched this on my phone!
Lindsey Smith lol I said the same thing
Oh my God!!!... You need help!!
this makes me want to get rid of my phone.
Ever notice your phone making a notification sound once you put it down? Lol
no
Man ik this was 4years ago but fr tho😂😂
Has never affected me, been using my smartphone since they came out, for phone calls, text messages, to stay in touch with a few friends and my extended family, that's it. Maybe being a cognitive psychologist helps me not getting hooked into technology, I still read real books from the public library, don't watch TV, use my laptop for work only. And spend time with friends and family without cell phones. That's what CELL PHONES MEAN: THEY KEEP PEOPLE IN A CELL, PRISON, JAIL.
Very scary indeed.
I agree with him. However these phones are here to stay. . . . self discipline is needed. . . .
Exactly! Can't put toothpaste back in tube.
Self discipline vs. trillionaire team of neuroscientists, engineers, accountants, lawyers, and child psychologists. Good luck with that.
A cell phone is not tooth paste, I dumped my cell phone & at&t 3 yrs ago and I had one before you were born when they were called car phones. I suggest you check your toothpaste for fluoride, I think your analogy shows you're a bit dumbed down..

This takes me back to that Star Trek (Next Generation) episode called "The Game" where Ryker brings back to the ship that highly addictive electronic device.

"A computer programmer who now 'knows" how the brain works' is presumptuous." In my opinion, Ai is worse than the Stanford Prison Experiment because it involves the world without consent. In my opinion, Tristan Harris is extremely rare because he is literally using both sides of his brain, giving him the ability to see outside the box. People are not talking because, in reality, Ai is becoming unethical like the Stanford Prison Experiment for C level tech executives and the users are Pavlov's dog.
Exactly, notifications do produce the same dopamine response as the bell in the experiment

Very true. We're be engineered and hacked with EMF. Nevermind the interface that's small stuff to what's happening. Look into psychotronics and the Havana Syndrome attacks. The technology is just hitting the public consciousness. It's probably the next Holocaust.
This is why the Amish believe what they do. They were onto something.
The Amish have computers, smartphones, etc. for farming, but they stay in the barn and don't get used unless they need to call for a delivery, or arrange for a milk truck to come, etc.
Exactly. I use my Apple iMac exclusively, at home, and I check my Gmail a bit too much and I love TH-cam; it's my TV.
The real TV is gathering dust on the top shelf, waiting for some big news story to make me reach for it but now TH-cam goes live to those stories so the TV waits.
But I carry no device with me when I go out. I can get by without that stuff just fine. I'm 62 yrs. old so I guess I'm just used to it.
My greatest desire years ago was an alpha-numeric pager, never got around to that either.
Agreed. The only problem is the repression and abuse from within the community. The way we live today is insane.
Unfortunately the amish have fallen prey now to the same thing.
@@davidhollenshead4892 most Amish like the ones my grandpa lives next to don't use technology or show that they do because it is against what their church believes. However, before some join the church at a certain age they will use technology. Or some may use it for jobs but overall it is not allowed.
7:01 "They're holding some of them back for you, to let you know later in a big burst." It's called stringing people along.
Switch off the damn notifications... Problem solved
Because I learned all this in school as a behavioral science student I dropped my FB which now I want to get rid of YT which is my last habit.

I made social media to reconnect with old friends, but they've all become strangers, and I no longer have the desire to connect. They don't hardly remember I exist anymore...

I’m contacting every single news anchor. I have proof I have support. And I choose if I have to die for the good of the people. But I’m not committing suicide like the program wants me to
I wish you would do a follow up to this story. What are they finding in the research on teen brains? What happened to the whistleblower?
Have you seen the Tristan Harris film, "The Social Dilemma?" If not, I recommend it!

I have ADHD, depression and an anxiety disorder. Tech is addicting, the constant scrolling puts my anxiety through the roof sometimes. but I'm learning to turn it off as soon as I start getting anxious. I have to do my best in balancing it by going outside for an hour or more so I can think clearly and refocus on different things that I enjoy. Im 52, with no family of my own so I'm vulnerable to this stuff. Im stuck between 2 worlds. It isn't easy as I thought.

"And you can't even feel it" Oh no lady. Trust me... as college students, it hurts every time we hear that Outlook notification.
The problem is most work today is done on a phone or computer as well as using social media to keep in contact with Vendors and even selling products so you need these apps
THANK YOU for your bravery, sir! Namaste! Many who understand feel disempowered, to bridge the divide between savvy and non-savvy. I continue to seek my role in solving the problem, eternally Grateful for those who believed in my recovery from trauma.

It is so true, Coop. I am lucky in a way to be a Twelve Stepper, long in recovery.. so I get it what 'abstinence' means, and how it can be a very good thing. I give myself chunks of time OFF the grid. A digital detox, if you will, deliberately chosen when I do not go online, or on-phone. No matter what...And it works to keep me sane...and BTW nothing bad ever happens when I do this!!!
It affects poor people the most who already live off the most primitive way of thinking. Becoming more violent and chasing a false sense of happiness and self gratification
For people who are really poor it is a window into other worlds, like Wikipedia and Khan Academy. It's never cut and dried.

Thank you so much great information
Haha. If only people knew how much these devices are mimicked after our brains. It's so much deeper than addiction.

@@Aconte313 What? What do you mean?
This is nothing new it's what marketing departments and corporations have been doing for years. The digital space is just a new area where it's being done and is more blatant but big businesses have been trying and been successful at shaping our minds and thinking and values for a long time
There is so much information on this if you look for it.
Unlike Pavlov's dogs, I choose whether that notification bell is audible or not. I only bother to turn it on when I'm expecting an alert. I have no patience for continuously scrolling news feeds. I use "tranquility" to isolate what I'm wanting to read from the distractions of advertisements. If you choose to be gamed and manipulated that's on you.
I went to the symphony the first year IPhones came out, during intermission I watched as over 50% of the audience rather than get up and visit, turned their phones on and played candy crush. I was amused at first, years later I notice no one is able to do anything without their phone in their hand. It's beyond scarey how out of touch people really are. The big word is, research, fact check, or do your homework; these phones have become our albatross...
Phones are so convenient, with all these apps, yet you still managed to defy spellcheck and spell “scary” as “scarey.” You’re supposed to be the supreme race but can’t even use your own language? Now that is truly “scarey.”
TH-cam is now getting onto the social media game too...
Congressman have been written to. A lot of information is getting ready to be shared. A lot of professionally assembled literature is going to be flooding the streets.
Yeah, you have to be very self-aware to interact with it in a healthy way.
I tried “grayscale” initially thinking it was a waste of time, but after sticking with it (for about a week), I realized it made a TREMENDOUS impact on how much I checked my phone AND stayed on it when it’s open. Smartphones are certainly tools that help us, but grayscale can prevent it from becoming an obstacle from your everyday life.
What is grayscale?
Looked it up. Apparently it is a mode on apple phones that (like dark mode) change how your phone screen looks. In this case it makes everything on screen a shade of gray. @@rachelosiria7865
It reading my thoughts too.
There was fast-food, then cigarette, and now this? When will it end... too much brain washing.
Doesn't sound evil at all. Thanks for programming that in to the interview.
It is important for parents and upcoming intellectuals to remind us about life balance. The best tell rounded individual. Moment ZEN.
I wasn't even worried about my phone(I'm watching this for school) until they kept saying how anxious I am to look at it lol
It’s not just the dinner table , look around next time you stop at a red light. Drivers can’t wait so they spend the red light staring at the magic screen.
Some of us are doing business, like checking an email from a client or seeing if a part was shipped or has arrived. But, I get the general idea. I never take the phone into a restaurant or someplace where it's use would be impolite. It stays in the truck. Whatever it is, it can wait.
Great report.
Teacher should share this in high school.
Here in NYC I would say that at least 70% of the time the person sitting at the front of the line of a red light is too busy playing with their phone because when the light turns green you need to honk at them to get them to move. I’ve been watch people who’re driving while I’m on the sidewalk and the amount of people staring at their phone while driving is absolutely ridiculous, something needs to be done about this, many people have a serious cellphone addiction.
I guess its time to start a no phone no social media after 6:00 pm challenge Now after watching this video only use it for phone calls use only
This better be on the 6 o’clock news for a week straight on main stream channel is
The irony is that I received a notification from YT about this episode and reacted quickly to watch.
When I'm off battery I used to feel like I'm in the half-world 😂 living
Thank you Anderson Cooper for sharing this story .... something to think about .

This explains why getting phone calls and text messages gives me anxiety, sometimes even triggering panic attacks. 😢
I'd settle for neutral media, or at least honest journalism...!
Jessica Wylde what a radical concept 😜

Now I know why Google created Google Well Being.
What's wrong with me? I have trouble finding my phone some days, feels like I can walk away from it for 48+ hours.
Nicholas Winn bless you!
Tell me your secret. I want to know how you do it! :D
That’s awesome.
Me too. I ask the same thing, Whats wrong w me? My friends & family complain & sometimes even get angry wth me because i forget about my cell phone & dont look at it for days sometimes, then end up missing calls & messages. I guess there arent too many like this left
ya, same. i only have a flip phone now. life is significantly better
Our society is the problem. These companies are just doing what the capitalist ideology has told them is proper. It's time to make changes in the way we live, and not only because of phone addiction either. Low income, credit debt, crime, violence, politicians, the 1%, etc... Our entire system is diseased.
Our Society is now Corporatist, not Capitalist.
But yes, meaningful experiences are absent from many peoples lives....
