🌌 “We chase the future like a horizon that never arrives-but what if technology isn’t moving us forward? What if it’s keeping us stuck in a loop, forever hungry, forever distracted?”
In this mind-bending exploration, we channel the wisdom of Alan Watts to dissect the seductive myth of “progress” in the digital age. Why do we worship innovation, yet feel emptier with every upgrade? Why does the promise of connection leave us more isolated?
This isn’t a rant about screen time-it’s a journey into the existential paradox of modern tech.
📡 You’ll discover:
How algorithms hijack your sense of time, keeping you addicted to a “now” that never deepens.
Why social media mirrors the Buddhist concept of Samsara-a wheel of craving, never satisfaction.
The eerie parallels between ancient Zen koans and AI chatbots (hint: both reveal how little we know ourselves).
What quantum physics says about our obsession with “productivity” and linear time.
A radical invitation: What if “disconnecting” isn’t the answer? What if you already hold the key to freedom?
Blending Watts’ iconic lectures with haunting visuals of glitching cities, AI-generated art, and nature reclaiming ruins, this video is a wake-up call for the TikTok generation-and a love letter to those yearning to break free from the digital trance.
💬 “Technology is the art of arranging the world so we don’t have to experience it.”
– Paraphrasing Watts to pierce the soul of the algorithm.
⚠️ Warning: This video may cause sudden urges to stare at clouds, delete apps, or question everything you’ve been sold as “progress.” Proceed with curiosity (and maybe a notebook).
