"Peer Pressure is a high school problem." Or is it? Let's talk about adult brains drunk on social influence through the illusions and purposeful manipulations of the internet.


Video!


summary

The conversation explores the pervasive effects of internet influence and peer pressure on society, highlighting how these factors have radicalized identities and impacted human psychology. Algorithms are particularly implicated as the highly corruptive "third party affiliations" that we don't directly choose, which then keep us locked within social groups and cliques. The human need to conform for safety yet also establish a unique identity within the constraints of that similarity is driving personalities to aggressive extremes.


takeaways

  • The same factors that promote peer pressure in adolescence are being experienced by adults on the internet.
  • PP has become an age indiscriminate phenomenon that has radicalized identities and contributed to ruining the world by hijacking human psychology.
  • The internet has returned us all to a high school social experience of self-definition and seeking identity options.
  • Popular figures are especially influential due to illusion of proximity and desire for similar social reward.
  • Conformity is required to remain within social groups, often necessitating "third party affiliations" to stay aligned.
  • One-on-one relationships value authenticity; clique relationships value similarity of behavior.
  • Algorithms force us into designated groups, which then corrupt the mind to conform without conscious decision.
  • Mechanized manipulation has taken over the human species, from the top-down.
  • The social brain is programmed to conform yet also establish a unique identity - driving group ideals to new extremes as a personal brand.
