Social media has been developed to connect people. However, quite early, scientists found that social media (and social media addiction) can lead to changes in the brain such an enlarged amygdala. First reports surfaced showing that people compare their lives to lives they see on social media and report a decline of mental health upon heavy social media use. It seems like our brains cannot distinguish between social media and the real world. Social media also led to an attention span crisis meaning that we have a harder time to focus if we spend much time on social media. Moreover, social media is able to feed into the reward system of our brains. Everytime we perceive something good dopamine producing cells in the brain release dopamine which leads to a good feeling. Social media has used this mechanism to provide us with a constant stream of good feelings. Social media algorithms have been optimize to show more social media content in a shorter period of time leading to more dopamine. As a result, some argue that social media addiction should be recognized as a mental disorder.
Besides negatively impacting our brains on an individual level social media and social media addiction also impacts society. Last year, a sharp rise in tic symptoms have been reported among teenagers in the US. It seems like that tic-related content on tiktok together with anxiety caused by the COVID-19 pandemic led to this rise in tic-like symptoms. So what should we do about social media? And how can we ensure that our brains are not negatively impacted by the constant stream of dopamine? Well, sometimes the best thing is just to avoid social media for a while.

Elon Musk: “DELETE Your Social Media NOW!” – Here’s Why

by

Elon Musk: “DELETE Your Social Media NOW!” – Here’s Why. Tesla CEO Elon Musk doesn’t like Facebook, and he’s made that opinion known repeatedly. In this video Elon Musk explains the hazards of social media, and opens up about Facebook.
Want to start a Youtube Channel like this? Get This FREE 10 Step Guide and learn how! – https://bit.ly/3qCLVM4

Watch this video to know why Elon Musk deleted his Facebook and Insta accounts, and why you should too! Last year, WhatsApp co-founder and former Facebook employee Brian Acton went to Twitter to encourage people to #DeleteFacebook in light of the company’s recent privacy scandal with Cambridge Analytica.Turns out Elon Musk, the eccentric CEO of both SpaceX and Tesla, thought it was a great idea.After tweeting back to Acton asking, #ElonMusk #Musk #Elon #Tesla #SpaceX #Neuralink #Technology #Cars #Space #SpaceTravel #TheBoringCompany #OpenAI #SolarCity “What’s Facebook?” Someone suggested that Musk delete SpaceX’s corporate Facebook page. “I didn’t realize there was one. Will do,” he replied.Then someone suggested he also delete Tesla’s corporate Facebook page. “Definitely. Looks lame anyway,” Musk replied.And that was that. Both pages appear to have been deleted. SpaceX’s page had more than 2.7 million followers. Again, Elon Musk is against social media. Elon Musk suggests to delete your Facebook and use the alternative instead.This is a very interesting video, so enjoy. This is not the first time that Musk has been ‘accused’ by someone at Facebook of not understanding what AI is. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has also in the past termed Musk’s views on AI as “pretty irresponsible”.Musk and Zuckerberg aren’t really the best of friends. In 2017, Musk said that Zuckerberg’s understanding of the future of AI is pretty “limited”. In February this year, the Tesla CEO has called Facebook “lame” and tweeted #DeleteFacebook.In reply to Oscar winner actor Sacha Baron Cohen’s rather scathing tweet on Facebook and Zuckerberg, Musk tweeted, “#DeleteFacebook It’s lame.” As for Musk, he deleted his Facebook account in 2018. In a tweet Musk had said, It’s not a political statement and I didn’t do this because someone dared me to do it. Just don’t like Facebook. Sorry. Musk has said that AI will be much smarter than people, putting humans at a tremendous disadvantage. “I think generally people underestimate the capability of AI — they sort of think it’s a smart human,” Musk said at a talk with Alibaba CEO Jack Ma at the World AI Conference in Shanghai, China. “But it’s going to be much more than that. It will be much smarter than the smartest human.” And he’s made much more alarming statements than that. “AI is a fundamental risk to the existence of human civilization,” he said in 2017. “I have exposure to the most cutting-edge AI, and I think people should be really concerned by it.”

Popularly referred to as the Real-life Tony Stark, Elon Musk is the founder and CEO of SpaceX, an American aerospace manufacturer and space transportation services. He is also the co-founder, CEO, and product architect at Tesla Motors, the founder of The Boring Company and Co-founder of Neuralink and initial chairman of OpenAI.

Tesla has proven that electric vehicles can be desirable, combining outstanding performance and high-tech interiors with usable driving range. The Model X crossover has room for up to seven. It’s also the most expensive Tesla, featuring the unique Falcon Wing doors. You have your pick of two sedans: the larger, more expensive Model S is a hot rod. The smaller, less pricey Model 3 Performance isn’t far behind. The company has also revealed its wildly styled pickup truck, the Cybertruck.
Tesla manufactures the Model S, the first zero-emission, zero-gas, full-size electric vehicle on the market. In addition, Tesla has produced battery packs, electric motors, and other powertrain components that will power all-electric, plug-in vehicles—not only Tesla’s, but also those of other vehicle manufacturers.
Tesla Motors was formed to develop an electric sports car. Eberhard was Tesla’s chief executive officer (CEO) and Tarpenning its chief financial officer (CFO). Funding for the company was obtained from a variety of sources, most notably PayPal cofounder Elon Musk, who contributed more than $30 million to the new venture and served as chairman of the company, beginning in 2004.

Social Media vs. Reality: Addicted to Likes?

Is social media good or bad? Is it good for your mental health or can it negatively affect you? Does the use of filters on your pictures and videos on social media affect how you perceive your own body image? It’s the new addiction of our time, and there are proven studies that many people use social media in an attempt to feel better about themselves — whether they are trying to gain more followers, compare their lives to others, or seek “likes” in order to get validation. Dr. Phil, his panel of experts, and people who are on social media uncover the positives and negatives of social media and what it’s doing to our culture. (20097)

By definition, mimetic desire means that we’re adopting another person’s desire as our own, usually without even realizing that we’re doing it. Social media has given us millions of mimetic models that we now have to contend with. Some people have gone from having 10 mimetic models to now having thousands, and we haven’t quite come to grips as a culture with what that means for our mental and emotional health.

All desire comes from us feeling like we lack something, which can bring us into a dangerous, vicious habit because there will always be another model to find. We have to choose our models wisely whether they are famous influencers across the globe or our closest friends. We also have to know when the model is inflaming us with the desire for something that’s going to bring real fulfillment or whether it’s going to bring a dopamine hit or allow us to fantasize about a life that we’ll probably never have.

All desires are modeled for us 24 hours a day, billions of them, and we need to understand the mimetic landscape of social media, or else we’ll become completely controlled by it.
