2023 Odyssey - The Social Media Effect of Polarizing Proportions

This video is going through a lot of issues arising from this social media miasma and the tik tokification of how artistic expression has been devalued under the term content, like products of consumption, causing a hypereality swamping effect of the information overload of opinions, events and attention-grabbing eye candy.. This is more concerning for the easily impressionable youthful minds growing up in an era that's shifting narratives to distorted views of history, new speak and one's own identity.. How much will AI augment this conundrum and how will people sustain their genuine human authenticity throughout?

This video was taxing to say the least in making of this; the research involved and the contemplation/consideration of it all.. I needed to step away a few times just because of the intense influx of images and opinions I sat through was a bit overwhelming to be honest.. making this wasn't that challenging editing wise and such, it just took waaay longer than I expected.. I'll need a lil digital detox after this one..

There are other things to factor in which was not mentioned before and I held off on going into the "war of the sexes" and some other issues that correspond to what's presented, but I didn't want to drag on this video for 5 hours.. I do have material saved for another video like this for the future.. I made this video since I had some free time to fill in this weekend where Leslie was taking some well deserved time off to celebrate her birthday, so I felt inclined to offer something in place of our regularly discussions with guests..

I mixed up material from many creators and I placed these not in order of appearance, but by the amount of material I showcased from their works, more or less, but please let me know if you want to know more about anyone down below or if you want to know who is who and where in this video.. Despite my criticism in the video, I respect and appreciate these people and others who go out of their way to bring up certain things which I've gained something from, even if it's learning apophatically

Mediums of Education & Media have been used as weapons of mass distraction, distortion and destruction of human perception...

But these tools can be used to propel humanity into a paradigm of abundance and freedom.. How will you choose to participate in this game of life?
