Went to a coffee shop a little while ago. A dude was sitting at a table - not on his phone or laptop. He just sitting there . . . drinking coffee . . .
People aren't addicted to their phones because phones are so addictive. They are addicted to their phones because their lives are empty, devoid of meaning and connection to other people. I don't claim to know how to fix that, but I'm pretty sure fixing a problem starts with identifying it. I think I heard a Joe Rogan guest say that once.
I was on a trip to Mexico a week ago and a lot of people were not on their phones. Not as much as here in America but so many people were talking, laughing and living life. It was amazing to see and experience
If I’m in a public area or at the store or a waiting room I do my best to stay away from touching my phone. Ppl don’t realize how much of what you are missing in the world around you. It amazes me how often I see ppl on their phones constantly and never talking to anyone. It’s quite sad.
YES! I visited NY for the first time last November, I only had my phone out to take pics. Other than that I was taking in the experience. LOVED IT, long flight though
I had a month without social media and limiting my phone usage to 30mins a day. Man it was so uplifting to see conversations happening randomly, people chatting, no earphones no instagram nothing...
It’s not that I’m addicted it’s seeing what an empty world we live in now, shit just makes me sad. At the station and everyone’s just scrolling on their phones.
When I hate my job or am feeling low. I watch videos on TH-cam of people in other countries that have it way worse than me, and it helps bring me back to reality on how blessed I am to be where I'm at in life.
For those of us that were born in the 80s and grew up in the 90s arent as attached to our phones as others. When i'm home, I barely even look at my phone and its on silent. We had life without it until our teen years
In my field of work, there's a huge difference between those that grew up before instant acess and those that have. The younger guys can't make a decision under stress , right or wrong , they just freeze. They need " to call someone " for the answer to " what should we do ? " Common sense is gone.
When newspaper first came out people at that time treated it like the internet now, because before newspaper if you want news you actually have to go out and talk to other people. So it was looked at as it was a lazy thing people now do. Even though its a lot better before if were still doing the same thing that means we are not moving forward or at all and personally i think its not a bad or good thing. Its just being human and nothings wrong with it.
Lol I'm a Korean who served mandatory service for 2 years and lemme tell u that most Korean men definitely do not feel more patriotic after the time they served lol. Alot of the times I it's the opposite, but I do agree that some mandatory community service would do more good than bad.
I'll never forget when I came back from Iraq in 2008. All the new soldiers were face fucking their phones when I walked into the day room. That's when I realized society was changing.
I lose my phone more often than I use it. I probably don't touch it 4 times a day. In fact, I just got rid of a flip phone this year lol. I see folks staring at their phone screens & holding up their phones to get video they will likely never watch again. While at the same time missing the full experience happening before them. It's kind of sad. It certainly looks like an addiction to me.
Thanks for talking about our nz shooting joe, nice to see you noticed and found it important to start another discussion on the long reach of gun control problems
ETA: lol yeah uh poor people are suffering in this country. Poor people don't know what it's like to have a car that doesn't break down, what it's like to go get a cup of coffee and relax because they're working two jobs and have to ride the bus or bike to work. The biggest problem with that: Americans who really shouldn't be complaining about anything and who do have a good life look at EVERYBODY like we're all in the same boat. We're not. I mean ... yeah you go to those war zones but I'm assuming you get paid a shit ton of money to do that, you get to travel to other places on your way to and from assignments. The only way I can afford to do anything is if my friends help me out. We eat out when someone takes us out because we can't afford it ourselves. My family has gone to bed not knowing how I'm gonna pay for food or electricity, and whether we will have either the next day. So ... ya know ... speak for yourselves that everyone has "so much" and no one appreciates it. I'm gonna disagree on one point: The internet is NOT unlimited FREE information. I wrote some pieces last year and had to access old newspapers. WHAT A NIGHTMARE. The really important stuff is all blocked by paywalls, if it is online at all. Can't access newspapers - old or new - without subscriptions. Can't access articles in scientific or academic journals without paying for them. I have a blog .... I can't post more than a paragraph from my blog in other places without Google shutting me down in search results. Information is throttled, expensive and hard to find. But HEY! If you wanna know how the Kardashians are doing today, there are 100 places that have the inside scoop on every tiny detail.
you can research old newspaper articles at your library, also when you assume something you're just making an "ass" out of yourself so don't ever just asssume, i feel like your heart is in the right place but you still gotta lot of learning to do, what joe was saying is people are always wanting more and aren't happy with what they have such as a clean bill of health, a job, a roof over your head, food in your stomach, clean clothes shit like that people live life these days almost like its a fantasy, they want everything but don't wanna work for it.
1:26 I disagree, I think we all use our phones constantly to find out info about anything. We just do it so much we get bored and do other things. You're not constantly wanting to know everything about anything at all times.
They are designed that way. Everything is designed to distract or manipulate our thoughts and we just keep buying the upgrades and the bs and the propaganda 😊
I usually sell newspapers to get buy! The place I get the papers is closing and moving so no papers! So I eat free food in San Francisco California! I miss caffeine
We need new traditions to bolster society since massive paradigm shifts that have changed how we interact with everything over the last 50 years. Like Saturnalia helped cultures counteract against winters.
I don't agree. Where Americans live and there is space and a solid economy, meaning people are able to take care of themselves, I don't see drama. In LA people seek out drama where there is none. Here, people want calm. Your business is your business.
as a gun owner, I know you are also, but the background checks are beyond legit, it is not easy to get a gun, for the concealed carry there is an extensive test also, point I was denied a gun one time, came back there was a problem I had to figure out what it was before I could get the gun and wait again to see if I could get it, what kind of problem you ask, turns out I had forgot to pay a traffic ticket, so no it is not easy to legally get a gun
Try living in new Brunswick, by 31 you'll be dead inside, the long winters poverty unemployment... Soul draining if you don't leave...itts like I haven't seen the sun in years I'm also fighting opioids... On methadone 40 mg... Going off but whew... Id kill to have access to money, man ayehuasca sounds so good but I just live on a couch until I'm going to put a bullet in my head... Eventually... Day in day out nothing... Sad before methadone I use to have a gf, cat, apt everything car... Was a roofer... Now I been clean two years but on methadone but so depressed just want off of it... Was in fort McMurray.. Now laid up on mom's couch... She hates me thinks I got willpower problems of only she been down the road of iv heroin and dilaudid she know but I don't wish that on anyone... But yea I'm off track... Welfare now gives me 380 a month it's not even enough to live on... I have to smoke cannabis coming off methadone at least to ease the pain... When I was young I experimented with everything and I think of I could get a mdma or Ayahuasca session in I could get off opioids once and for all and go outside again and get a life back... They threw me in jail over a domestic that wasn't my fault for a year when I was 25 after that I got into pills and stuff and I'm only 31... 2 years clean I need out of this but things only get darker when I try to get free from the methadone clinic.... Help!

Read 'Irresistible' by Adam Alter - it explains how tech companies have deliberately made their products addictive.

The quality of tv isn’t the same. I won’t check my phone during the Sopranos!
For those of us that were born in the 80s and grew up in the 90s arent as attached to our phones as others. When i'm home, I barely even look at my phone and its on silent. We had life without it until our teen years
Three words "mandatory volunteer work"

Quite...

We are alone without the phone. We have to unite to smash our phones. If you smash it alone, well, then, you’ll be alone.
Yo Joe I love the content man
