“Dreams” is a young man who plays video games. I think he cheated while playing a video game or something, and now people with woefully misaligned priorities in life (most likely children) consider this to be a pressing issue for reasons I don’t know or care to understand.

But more importantly, why did you choose to click on a thumbnail about something so wildly vapid, pedantic and inconsequential? Don’t you realize your time is meant to be more valuable than this? Don’t you realize you’re going to DIE someday? And probably soon, with the way things have been going.

Now listen, when you finish reading this and unpause the playback, obviously I can’t force you to watch the rest of the video. But at least promise me that if you don’t, you won’t just switch to another, equally insipid video and that you’ll instead find something actually meaningful to focus your efforts on. You could learn to play a new instrument! Or rekindle an old relationship with a friend! Or read a book about a topic that interests you!

Or better still, go outside and spend some time in nature! You know that ‘touch grass’ game? Yeah, that’s not just bullshit; humans need nature. It’s the environment our species is most adapted to, and it plays a critical role in our mental or emotional wellbeing. Go to your nearest park, sit under a tree, and do nothing but focus your breathing for 20 minutes. You can bring your phone but ONLY use it to set a 20 minute timer and then put it down.

…It might not sound appealing on the surface, but here’s what I can promise you: Mindlessly meandering your life away down these frivolous Internet rabbit holes will never bring you any kind of substantial long-term happiness. If you actually care about something as petty as ‘ Youtube drama’ you are only using it to distract yourself from your larger problems. Trust me, I’m speaking from experience here.
