Social Media is using our brains chemistry to trick us...

In this video, I delve into the profound impact of social media on our brain, revealing that its effects are far worse than many assume. Social media platforms, exploiting the dopamine system, entice users with anticipation of rewards, leading to constant engagement. This mechanism, designed to keep users scrolling, contributes to a cycle of "cheap dopamine" spikes, fostering laziness and procrastination. Despite the negative consequences, quitting social media entirely is not the solution due to its benefits in maintaining social connections and staying informed. The video explores strategies to mitigate social media's adverse effects without fully abandoning it. Key recommendations include altering habits to avoid phone usage during critical times like mornings and nights, and implementing measures to enhance focus and productivity during work. The content also emphasizes the importance of curating social media feeds to align with personal values and goals, suggesting that users can enjoy social media's advantages while minimizing its drawbacks by making intentional choices about their engagement.
