We are living in a time with unprecedented challenges. To create change, we have to transform the narrative from power over to power with, competition to collaboration, and creating relationships with the living world rather than heartless transactions for resources, which lead to further depletion and overconsumption... and so much more.

I recently attended this discussion (posted below), which was brilliantly moderated by #emmalembke, between #jonathanhaidt and #scottgalloway. And I have to say, it almost immediately changed my online behaviour and perhaps my life. #jonathanhaidt's book, #TheAnxiousGeneration explores the destructive impact social media has had on the generation of kids born after 1996. @profgalloway called Haidt "the most influential scholar in the world right now." As they were all speaking of the ills, dangers and addictive nature of social media, I realized that at my core I'm really a 17yr old. And that I was in as much trouble as every other GenZ. My addiction to instagram (mainly) was at an all time high. I mean I was glued. Fascinated by every poet, designer, recipe, lifecoach, exotic vacation, dance, dog, cat, popstar, fashion, restaurant, actor, you name it I followed it. It's safe to say, I was very diligently following 1600+ accounts. My addiction had become so bad that I was actually commenting on stranger's posts. If Kendal Jenner was on a horse in Brazil at Diplo's estate, I had something to say about it. I had opinions to share on wars, cryto bros, DJ's to divas, bullshit to bullshit and more bullshit. So many opinions to voice, new "friends" to make, likes to give. I seldom looked up. My time was being sucked away and I was aging fast. A young actor friend had even created an impression of me on my phone that brought the house down. I had become a meme. I was having eye strain, headaches, and no kidding, was suffering from iPhone elbow. (It's a thing. Google it. Much like Tennis elbow but without the càche.) And then Jonathan made the point that hit home. He said, addicts, after hours and hours on social media, could not answer the question, "What memory do you have of that time ?" Oh my God. I was filling my brain with so much nothing, retaining nothing and generally feeling nothing. I had literally nothing to show for all the time I was gifting #Zuckerberg. Not even one pleasant memory. And so I came home and deleted facebook, tiktok and deactivated my instagram. I went cold friggin turkey. And it was ducking difficult. All I had left was The New York Times games - Connections, Wordle and The Mini Crossword. And cruelly once you do all three, you have to wait 24hours to do em again. It got so bad that I found myself commenting on people's VENMO payments to other people. (You can actually do that. Ridic, I know. ) Withdrawal is never pretty. It's now been a full week. The good news is I am feeling liberated. I'm not suffering from FOMO, and it's really not as scary as I thought it would be. But if you were wondering why I'm suddenly writing lengthy pieces on LinkedIn, it's not because I just started a company called LBRBCOLLECTIVE, or that I'm a wannabe "thought leader", it's just that this is the only social platform I have left, and I need a fix.

Last week, I was given the opportunity through the Sustainable Media Center to interview Jonathan Haidt and @profgalloway about my generation's relationship with technology, as detailed in Jonathan's book "The Anxious Generation". We explored many critical topics, such as the "Why" behind the book, the proliferation of antagonism online, Big Tech's role in fueling and solving our digital dilemma, and much more. Listen to the full conversation below! https://lnkd.in/e2GDf-rq

It's a skill to remain non-judgemental especially when making a decision (informed choices). It can enhance the quality of life (contentment, peace, happiness etc.) of an individual practicing this skill. it becomes more important if you are in a leadership role or a role model - any way your circle of influence possesses the power to inspire for the same. #happiness, #emotionalintelligence #ethicalmindset
We see our edited version of reality and not actuality.

Humanity is headed towards a future by default. Instead, we can build a future by design if we can make deliberate, thoughtful decisions. But for that, we need insights. And insights are held by the people on the ground. Through Jan Ki Baat, you can listen to all of them at once.
