Unaware use = reflexively using your phone without noticing when or why you started.
R u reading this caption because the video started to get boring?
Ur gonna check the comments next huh?
It’s ok.
That’s your brain looking for more rustling leaves in the Savannah.
If that doesn’t make sense, you just haven’t gotten far enough in the video yet.
Force 1= tech companies. They get paid more $ the longer you stay here, so they wanna hook u. Bad.
Force 2= about two thousand centuries of evolution. Your brain is hardwired to reward noticing novel, unexpected things. Your feed is a FLOOD of novel, unexpected things. The rewards feel so good, it almost feels like a trance-like state.
Dont feel bad. We all have monkey brains. How do u think we got here?!!!
But u can protect ur monkey brain. In the next video I’ll explain 3 tricks I used to get off of social media for 5 years.
Like and follow and I will explainnnn

It never ceases to amaze me how kids can FEEL tech shifts coming from a mile away. They don’t rely on studies or hard facts… their evidence is their bodies. They feel the change. We ought to listen to them more. #ai #aiandsociety

I’m committed to bringing down my screen time this year but I know I need to be reachable in case of emergency. Also, living out my nostalgic 90s dream is very important to me.
YES it takes FaceTime Audio and WhatsApp calls.
YES it works with Android
NO, you will not know who’s calling. Like the olden days.
YES they are the coolest cutest things ever.
What colors should I add next?? Comment below!! 💚🩵💙🧡💛💜❤️🩷

I’m sending out a batch of methaphones to people who have ideas for (safe) social experiments they’d like to run with them— break it out on the subway? Show it to a 5 year old? Replace your phone for a week? The only catch is that you have to write or document your experience in a post online (e.g. blog post, medium, substack, YouTube, tikTok, Ig, etc) The goal is to keep the conversation going. If you’re interested, fill out the super short survey at the link in my bio! Let’s keep the conversation going! #tech #methaphone

If you can avoid your phone for the first hour of the day, you’ll be less stressed, anxious, and somehow, just as productive.
Here are 3 tools I actually use to help myself break my addiction to my phone.
1. An actual alarm clock. Not the alarm app. $10 on Amazon.
2. A physical newspaper or magazine subscription. NYT Sundays is $5/wk
3. A physical phone. Connects to ur iPhone via Bluetooth. Link in bio. @physicalphones
4. The methaphone, which was on the nightstand in the first shot. $20. Link in bio. @methaphone.official

The moment I met my first users. ❤️ As an entrepreneur, you can only ever hope to build something people will actually want. I posted a video casually mentioning a platform I built yesterday called Popfolio.co (it’s like LinkedIn but for entrepreneurs and freelancers.) and 71 of y’all signed up and made actual accounts. I can’t believe it. It’s not insane viral growth, but it’s more than I ever expected certainly in

Pardon my French. Full list plus notes in the description —> What did I miss? Add your thoughts in the comments! 💬
1️⃣(POSITIVE) Human creators have an easier time standing out against the flood of AI slop:
• The audience wants to follow and support a creator they know is human
• “Human-ness” becomes a brand asset
• (But how do they know the creator is human… really?)
2️⃣(NEGATIVE) Human creators will have a harder and harder time standing out:
• Competing against AI slop that’s been engineered to flood the brain with dopamine
• Fewer people will be creators as it’s no longer a viable way to make a living
3️⃣(NEGATIVE) The internet will fill up with AI slop and fake news will outnumber real news 10,000:1:
• This is bad for society because the internet is a useful source of information
• It will be harder for people to access good information
• It will be impossible to know what really happened and what didn’t
• As a result, communities will become more insular and distrusting of outsiders
4️⃣(POSITIVE) The negative effects of fake news will effectively go away:
• Because if everyone mistrusts news on the internet, it won’t be treated as a source of any information
• Fake news and real news alike will be disregarded
• Positive side effect: ACTUAL fake news won’t be as easy to proliferate online
5️⃣(NEUTRAL) The internet will become pointless and certain things will gain a premium:
• In-person events (I cannot prove I’m real until you see me in the flesh)
• Physical media (newspapers, magazines, things that are not a screen that took time and effort to produce)
• Bonafide media curators (New York Times)
6️⃣(NEUTRAL) Cognitive burn-out and nostalgia loops will take over:
• People experience “epistemic fatigue” from constantly questioning what’s real
• Users retreat to pre-AI nostalgia content (old YouTube, DVDs, VHS aesthetics) because it feels safer and familiar
• Platforms lean into nostalgia because it lowers anxiety and sustains engagement

I made these 3 changes to my iPhone settings in 2019 and got off of social media for 5 years.
I talked about this in my last video, but you GOTTA fight science with science. Tech companies are hacking your brain to keep you here. Hack it right back!
1. Change your Home Screen to a plain white background
2. Hide all the apps you don’t use every day AND social media apps into random app folders
3. Change your display to black and white. (Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Color Filters > Grayscale)
BONUS change: turn off notifications for all apps except phone and texts.
What other tweaks have you made? Share your ideas in the comments!

You no longer have to pick one path. You don’t have to dedicate years of training or make a risky career pivot to explore the alternate paths. You can try a hundred different careers in the span of a month, by using AI to learn and create. Become a magician. A creative director. A startup founder. A music producer. A comedian. A master baker. A linguist. An entrepreneur. A creator. Maybe it’s a coincidence we are all on this dream timeline together. Or, maybe it’s not. #ai #motivation

AI is unraveling a new paradigm of employment that we literally don’t have words for.
Eric invented the @methaphone.official from an idea and collaborating with ChatGPT.
Sirio (@heysirio) is making in 1 month what most households won’t make in a YEAR… off an app that he *vibecoded with AI.*
These are 2 examples of what we’re going to start seeing a lot more of… small, independent, self-supporting cash flow without all the traditional risks of entrepreneurship.

What if you could edit your algorithm?
Would you say “show me less brainrot” and “show me more educational, inspiring clips”?
I did, and while the feature is still in alpha / @instagram is still ironing out the kinks & making it as effective as possible, I’m STOKED about the precedent this sets as the king social media app giving power back to the users so they can have a healthier relationship with their phones.
Thanks again @mosseri 🦄✨
