Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm not just a podcaster. I'm a podcast listener. And
when I jump into the car or i'm at work
and I need to hear a podcast, it has to
match my mindset, my mood. I don't want somebody to
take me there. I want to be there. That's why
I created ero dot net Aarroe dot net. There are
seventeen different podcasts to choose from. Enjoy the exploration. I

(00:22):
don't know if it's because I'm a radio guy, a journalist,
a daily writer, a published author, but I'm always asking questions.
The fun begins when you start researching for answers such
as has the world always been this confusing? How much
is social media playing into this thing? Plus how many
of us are living a life of totally being in

(00:42):
fear of losing something. My name is Arrow. I'm a
daily writer, a silent wolf. I stand on the sidelines
and do nothing but watch, listen, study the activate. I
happen to call it the daily mess, a chronological walk
through an everyday world. Yeah, it's my morning writing as
a receiver of thoughts and ideas, We as people tend
to throw things to the side because we think we're

(01:04):
going to deal with it. Later on, when a subject
arrives inside of me, I know it's time to dig in.
It's still keeping that daily journal, but by doing the research,
the picture becomes clearer. This is the daily mess. Has
the world always been this confusing? Or is social media
messing up our sense of time as well as direction?

(01:27):
One historian chimed into this question really quickly, calling it
the quiet wonder. This is when people sit in their
own aloneness and ask questions like this. It's kind of
weird that I'm bringing it up, because most people would
just rather sit alone and think about it. Is the
world more confusing today than any other time? The real

(01:49):
word shouldn't be confusing, but rather complicated. Yet mental health
experts say it's never been this overwhelming. Social media is
apt absolutely the one to blame for such complexity. Which
is the feed or stream that poisons all of those
thoughts that are inside your mental ocean? Number one, we

(02:10):
hear everything all at once. Before social media, your world
it evolved around your town, your friends, and the nightly news.
Number two. Social media it thrives on emotion. The things
that spread the fastest are outrage, fear, and shock. Number three,
we have absolutely no time to pass. We want a

(02:33):
reaction right now. Why didn't you call me? Why didn't
you send me a text message? What's going on? Have
you ghosted me? Number four? Way too many choices, too
many different truths out there, and we're all believing everything
until we go WHOA, I don't know about that. We
better think about that again. And number five, you are

(02:53):
not alone on this. Confusion is our new normal. The
world didn't become confusing, we just got exposed to it.
Coming up next, in this present day of mindsets, why
is it so many people are fearing the act of
losing something? Hey, thanks for coming back to the daily mess?

(03:18):
Are we in a present day state of mind based
on the fear of losing something? This is heavy and
it does come with a mental health experts reaction. The
way we act and think today is shaped less by
what we have and more by a fear of what
we might lose. Why Because we are endlessly comparing things,

(03:40):
It fuels our fear. The world is moving faster than
the way our minds are working as it digests thought.
Call out the spade here. Uncertainty isn't a COVID nineteen
lockdown thing. It is our every hour every tick on
the clock, everything is shifting quickly. With uncertainty comes fear.

(04:03):
It is a fear of loss which evolves into emotion.
Too many major news outlets and corporations rely on your
fear to get attention put on them. Therefore, you're going
to build up that loyalty. Fear has become our default
mental setting. Yeah, we are that generation that is evolved

(04:23):
into a group of threat watchers. The brain is constantly
scanning for danger. Those dangers are psychological and not physical.
But here's the thing, your brain can't tell the difference.
I'm Meryl, and that's the daily mess.
