The Great Social Media Experiment (Part 3): The Trauma and the Damage Done (Ep 39)

Overthinking Everything with Josh Brandon

Mar 7 2023 • 51 mins

Josh Brandon deconstructs the pros and cons of social media in this series. Part Three explores the traumatic effects of the media on the individual and how, if we cared about children, we might not even let them online at all! #addictionrecovery #socialmedia #trauma Josh Brandon discusses social media and its impact on society through the lens of the social sciences and the "dumbing down and numbing down of our society". In Part 3 of The Social (Media) Experiment, Josh analyzes the cost of social media as it pertains to our mental health. Examining some aspects of social media from perspectives you may not be used to, we look at the rise of the internet and social media as if we were handed the keys to a race car at 8 years old. This series isn't a "should we have the internet or not" argument. It's acknowledging that we, as a society, were granted that access before society was prepared for EVERYTHING the internet would bring - positive AND negative.

OVERTHINKING EVERYTHING SERIES DESCRIPTION Overthinking Everything is essentially about exploring the Origin of the Idea. Why do we think the things we think and believe the things we believe? Using the Social Studies – History, Geography, Civics, and Economics. These are the basic foundations of Political Science. In OE, it’s Psychology, Philosophy, Sociology and Anthropology. It’s art & literature, science and religion, and current events and conspiracy theories. Exploring our opinions and ideas through these lenses may seem daunting, but it's not as difficult to understand, once we unplug, detach, and step back from the issue. But it's a journey of discovery we'll go on together, Overthinking Everything! In this first season, Deconstructing A Culture of Cultism, I'm exploring not only the Origin of Idea, but attempting to explain how easily we are led down the path to cultism. I'd like this series to be an exercise in perspective and training the brain to think critically. This season will explore many topics beyond politics and history. I am simplifying a lot of very detailed and nuanced events, but it's time we examine some of what we know from slightly different angles - angles maybe we weren't taught in school. I am Deconstructing my own journey through politics, religion, social change, education, capitalism, and more. As someone who has crawled out of the Toxic White Southern Culture, I'm here to tell you it isn't easy, nor is it pretty. BUT, it IS Fascinating! CALL-TO-ACTION Subscribe to my channel and everywhere on social media! I am fighting for change in our communities and to end the rise of the white nazionalist cultism of fascism that is spreading like a cancer in America, and the world.
