Show Notes
There is mass hypnosis happening now due to the widespread consumption of social media, the prevalence of social media addiction, and the blurring of lines between social media and news information. The concept of social media hypnosis refers to the trance-like state induced by social media platforms. Just like traditional print and television advertising, this state can be used to bypass conscious thought for marketing, influence and for manipulation. This can often lead to negative outcomes like addiction, anxiety, and depression by engaging the subconscious mind and its negative patterns of worry, fear, anger and even rage.
In this episode, Ted discusses how social media and the inclination of the majority of people in the US to get news from social media is creating mass hypnosis resulting in further division and mental health risks on a nationwide scale. This is an episode you do not want to miss.

When was the last time you sat outside and just looked at the sky? Not took a photo of it. Not posted it. Just sat there and looked at it. If you had to think about that for a moment — this episode is for you. Somewhere along the way, many of us have traded the sky, the trees, and the mountains for a small glowing screen. And that trade is costing us more than we realize.
