Dangers of social media

Dangers of social media 

The advent of social media has made life better in a lot of ways. We now have telepathic powers that stretch to different continents, we can share our lives with our loved ones via video and photos, we can connect and work remotely from anywhere in the world, we have powers our ancestors could only dream about, we have become God's. But nothing exists without its negative, social media is also the reason depression in the west and everywhere else in the world is so rife. The incessant comparing of our lives has crippled our souls resulting in a lack of knowledge of ourselves. Social media has created a generation of simps, weak men whose purpose in the world is please women. To cater to their every whim and neglect themselves in the process. These men have no inner campus and get validation from the attention they receive from these women. Sites like OnlyFans perpetuate this simp culture as men are lured in with the promise of viewing explicit content for a premium. OnlyFans destroys men, it keeps them docile and primitive, leaving them with no ambition, strife and prospects. OnlyFans castrates men and turns them into shadows of themselves. We must be better brothers. We must strive to be men of high value. A man of high value chases his purpose and not women, instead women chase him. Understand: women always have more options in the dating market because generally they are the prey that's pursued, social media has only amplified this fact as now a thousand brothers are chasing the same prey. Avoid sliding in the DM my brothers. A man of high value flips the script and makes himself valuable so that women can flock to him. Never chase women, it's a waste of your precious time - chase your purpose. In this post we will be discussing dirty tactics used by social media to keep men trapped.

1. Simping - social media has given men the illusion that women are more valuable because of the likes they receive. We have learned to equate likes to value and character of a person. This is so misleading and has led to a generation of emasculated weak young men who seek validation from women. They are women pleasers and do anything and everything to get their attention. They give their souls, they give their hard earned money, they give their self-respect, they are manipulated, they are laughed at, they are used like second hand vehicles. No one respects these men because they lack and inner campus, they have no center of gravity to keep them grounded. If a woman can't respect you, she can't love you. My brothers, never seek validation from women. Keep your own frame, be your own man. Abandon the inbox and work on yourself. Understand: You are like Gold and you are in limited supply, know your worth and let them fight to caveat you. Don't be a simp! 

2. Glamorizes Drugs and Alcohol - social media makes anything cool, when we see that something is desired by the masses, it's value goes up leading to a domino effect. The herd behavior of social media artificially inflates the perceived value of substances leading to overconsumption and abuse. Drugs and alcohol can hinder your progress towards becoming a man of high value. This is because drugs and alcohol have side effects that can affect your health, leading to a life of misery, addiction and potentially death. Unregulated and unchecked use of alcohol and drugs can trap you in a world of hell. Take care of yourselves brothers and monitor the influences in your life. You are the influencer of your life, do not get swayed away by public opinion. 

3. Addiction - social media is designed to be addictive, from the algorithms that show you content that will get you to react, to the dopamine inducing likes on your Facebook and Instagram. The purpose of social media is to get you hooked and addicted so they can show you more ads. Hence the continuous scroll function ensuring you stay on the site and lose sense of time, the interface that is designed like a slot machine. Social media is meant to consume as much of your time as possible. This is a trap as it can hinder you from achieving self-actualization. You need to be able to control and manage your time my brothers. Plan out your day and allot activities to your schedule that will enhance the state of your being. Make time for reading as it will nourish your mind and keep you in peak performance. Make time for exercise as true wealth is health and keep a healthy social life. Your friends and family are paramount to living a good and fulfilled life. 

4. Reputation - so much of your life depends on reputation and it only takes a well co-ordinated smear campaign to ruin it. Because social media is a network of people, it only takes one share to ruin your life. It doesn't even have to be true as all truths are half truths. One slander can be known from the depths of every corner in a second. One slander can define you and trap you in hell. Understand: not everyone is your friend despite what Facebook says, some people want to take you down, be mindful when you are flirting with the devil. In a world of fake news and click baits, everything is the truth. 

5. Fraud and scams - opportunities are located everywhere in the stratosphere of social media which makes it a breeding ground for fraud and scams. If you are naive and gullible, you will be taken for everything you have. Social media is an ocean filled with scams, false personas and fraudulent activities, from Crypto currently experts to Nigerian prince's who urgency need you to deposit money in their accounts, to expert catfishers like the Tinder Swinder. You are operating on the dark side of human nature when you are on social media. Be careful my brothers, thoroughly research every opportunity that comes your way. Do not part with money you don't have and if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Beware of false prophets and saviors, the brutal truth about life is that you are alone, no one really cares about you and no one is coming out to save you. This should be your default, empower yourself and create the reality that you want to see.
