Tech Founder EXPOSES The Dark Truth Behind Social Media | #100

<p>Not everyone realises it yet, but we are in a war. With our generation spiralling through a meaning crisis, lost and depressed, Nicholas and I explore how Gen Z can not only survive, but thrive.</p><p><br></p><p>Nicholas Stumphauzer is the founder of SHIFT, the only screen time blocker without an escape hatch. I tried the other apps but always ended up overriding them in a moment of weakness. SHIFT has changed my life because it actually holds me to the standards I set myself - and it gives me HOURS of my life back every single day.</p><p><br></p><p>The good news is, you can win this war. The bad news is, you’re gonna have to pick up a sword.</p><p><br></p><p>Get 20% off SHIFT with my discount: http://shiftyourphone.com/elliot</p><p><br></p><p>Apply to join the best podcast school in the world: https://thepodpro.com/elliot</p><p><br></p><p>CHAPTERS:</p><p>00:00 Trailer</p><p>01:23 Nick reacts to a vision of the future…</p><p>06:17 The most shocking things tech founders do</p><p>09:40 Technology has inverted our natural instincts</p><p>15:12 How modern tech destroys your happiness</p><p>19:21 What is ‘the feed’ feeding us?</p><p>22:59 Escaping Plato’s cave</p><p>34:05 Are the Boomers right that the internet is ‘not real’?</p><p>39:27 Is social media evil?</p><p>46:20 Is the ‘For You’ page really for them?</p><p>49:32 Social media uses hypnosis tricks</p><p>54:45 They monetise your insecurities</p><p>56:31 What is SHIFT?</p><p>1:01:51 Why are people angry at you?</p><p>1:08:40 You can’t succeed without humility</p><p>1:17:12 Elliot’s three step method for breaking free from phone addiction</p><p>1:22:08 Demonstrating SHIFT</p><p>1:26:50 The other blocker apps let you go back on your goal</p><p>1:32:13 Quittr’s use of pn hooks is shameful</p><p>1:35:29 Why SHIFT doesn’t play the ’streak’ game</p><p>1:42:58 Why we should be furious</p><p>1:47:25 Older generations don’t understand the gravity of this problem</p><p>1:55:23 Will the older generations change their ways?</p><p>2:00:26 This is the last crusade</p><p>2:02:29 The formula for meaning</p><p>2:05:40 Gen Z aren’t lazy, they’re lost</p><p>2:08:27 Anger is the first step towards God</p><p>2:13:40 Advice to people stuck in pn addiction</p><p>2:17:32 Technology has ruined us, but it will also be our solution</p><p>2:23:24 Parents need to up their game</p><p>2:27:16 Overcoming the fear of boredom</p><p>2:33:01 You will get destroyed by your phone-free competitors</p><p><br></p><p>Subscribe to my Substack to
