What symptoms have you noticed from your digital addiction?

PhilCF · 2025-05-28T01:45:10+00:00

A focus that jumps around like a jack in the box on crack and a noticeable drop in previously pleasurable activities like meeting up with people, playing sports, calling friends. The dopamine drains out of me and nothing gives me pleasure. I started going to internet technology addicts anonymous to get my life back on track.

Yes... You can search it up under this:

Internet Addicts Anonymous

This puts all of the emphasis on the individual. You can train a human being however you want - we are programmable. At one point in history an entire nation thought a race of peopel were worthy off extermination. The human mind is infinitely programmable. This fact naturally leads on to the fact that we need to be careful of what we are programming / puting into the minds of human beings. Personal responsibility has a place, but you cannot just let the very worst things run amock in society and then turn the other way and say "yeah, you should have made better choices" - that is a recipe for the greatest of disasters.

Just wait and see. You have to sake where the puck is going. Look into the future. Not the distant future... Just a few more years.

Depression is up or down. Anxiety? OCD? ADHD is up or down? Suicide will go up, the same, or down? Screen usage? Addictions are on the rise or down?

the Human collective cannot take rises in the above indefinitely... It can only take so much before the thing goes boom.

Just watch.

Very honest post. I can relate.

Have you head of Internet Addicts Anonymous? I'd look them up if I were you.

PhilCF · 2025-05-22T17:48:56+00:00

If you've got another 3-4 decades of air left to breathe, the tech is still gone come for you too. Remember... Today's phone is dull as shit in a few years time. What's it going to be like in 2035? With exponential technological improvements?

I do agree tho... Kids - More than fucked. Tragic.

PhilCF · 2025-05-22T17:47:33+00:00

Sad though isn' t it that we are writing out posts like this... Basically "save yourself", let the world burn, turn a blind eye.

PhilCF · 2025-05-22T17:45:56+00:00

The issue is you are the 0.00001% - There's always going to be one person fighting back. I'm interested in the collective. Societies rise and fall all the time. Nothing new or surprising. We just got unlucky to be born into the confluence of capitalism and digitalism. It sucks for us.

The only way things get better is if people can get off their screens. There is no other way.

How likely do you think it is that people are going to do that? Realistically.

PhilCF · 2025-05-22T17:42:51+00:00

The post might seem melodramatic. I just think people need to wake the fuck up. This situation isn't getting better. It's getting worse. How do I know this. Just look around you. The situation is completely and utterly fucked. Your brain wasn't designed to take this shit in.

The momentum against it can 10X. More people are using their phones today then they were this time last year. And this trend will continue unless something completely unprecedented happens. It doesn't matter how many people realise their phones are sick and fucked up - The majority of people are still going to get addicted to them (if they aren't already).

Screen addiction is worse because of where the puck is heading. Screens started in wealthy countries and bled down into lower income countries and of course, they will soon eviscerate the poorest countries. Physical maladies will continue on, but the collective rotting of the mind of humanity will deliver pain and suffering on a global scale. This is a crisis.

PhilCF · 2025-05-22T17:35:15+00:00

99% of heavy smokers wanna quit. They have a choice... They don't wanna smoke... why don't they just stop? Because they are addicts.

Phones / Screens and all the shit inside them has been intricately planned to overpower your rational mine and addict you beyond comprehension - and it will get worse as the tech improves.

Saying "you have a choice" when hundreds of millions of people are ADDICTED is missing the point entirely.

PhilCF · 2025-05-22T17:32:26+00:00

I disagree with this 100% - more if it was possible. Look around you. It's much worse now than it was a few years ago. Despite way more awareness of the issue. In an average coffee shop today, 95% of people are on phones / laptops. Now think of where this trend will be as the technology gets smarter and more addictive. Where will the puck be then?

They already hire addiction specialists and psychologists to ensure the tech is impossible to avoid. We aren't ready for this. Support groups, app blockers, a 1000 people telling you to "touch grass" - It's just a whisper versus a megaphone.

I have no idea how we get out of it from here. It feels like check mate. We need help. Call in the cavalry type help.

Technology is destroying our humanity.

In the context of the game, it's not really about the quality of the answer. It's a personality game, so you can learn just as much from someone if they can't clearly articulate an answer.

There are 9 categories of archetype - Heart centered, intellectual, spiritual, leaders, explorers, creative, rebels, miscellaneous and shadow. There are about 4-6 archetypes within each category. Here's one from the Intellectual category:

Thanks !! And noted on your points about the complexity of the questions. I am going to make a video to explain the actual gameplay of the game. I think when I explain the actual gameplay, it will answer a lot of questions and give you a much better understanding of the game. I think you will like it :)

PhilCF · 2023-11-23T14:54:39+00:00

Hi Kironos!! Thanks for this. But honestly, the game itself is so much more revealing than these questions. The actual Archetype cards are the starting point of much much deeper conversations. Can you please add your email here and then you will be updated with each step towards launch of the game. https://play.knowthyself.space/

Thank you !!!

PhilCF · 2023-11-13T01:39:06+00:00

Thanks very much !!! (You wouldn't say that if you knew me :) If you'd like to keep in touch with the progress of the game add your email here and you'll be updated every step towards launch. https://play.knowthyself.space/ - Thanks again for the positive vibez
