How Social Media Is Ruining Your Life: Stolen Wisdom


Listen Later

Is social media making us dumber? Now, before you come at me with all of your hacks, facts and know-how that you've learned from social media... hear me out.

Sure, we can all learn a thing or two on these platforms. They can serve as a great source of knowledge and inspiration. I, myself, have had many "today I learned" moments scrolling my feed.

But how often would you say those moments happen? In most cases, are you leaving the platform prepared to make better decisions? I'm willing to bet the answer is not possitive.

See, while we have the opportunity to learn more using these apps, the truth is, most of the time we close them feeling anxious, stressed and depressed. And even if we did learn something from a quick video, we had already scolled past 63 others before we closed out and re-entered the real world, which means we forgot what we learned about 17 seconds after we saw it.

If we're seeking to learn, social media isn't the best teacher. In this episode we'll look at how social media is stealing wisdom from us and how to change our approach to these apps in a way that will benefit us.
