Summary

Today I’m flipping the script and telling you why social media will never be real life. Yeah, yesterday I broke down how it has become real life for a lot of people but today I’m giving you the other side. I like to argue both angles so you can think for yourself and see where you stand. If you live on your phone more than you talk to real people, this one’s especially for you. Let’s get into it. Show Notes: [01:45]#1 Real life in the flesh, human engagement still matters and you still need the skills that come with it. [06:45]#2 Social media provides a robust platform for people to live out their unlived fantasies through a smartphone and that's pretty much what social media allows people to do. [16:00]#3 Artificial intelligence and automation are only getting better, which means there are fewer people developing real intelligence, real skills, and real know-how. So the opportunity is in having those skills.

0:00.0	something is going to answer the question for us and we don't have to think at all.
0:02.6	All we got to do is take a picture or Google something and the answer comes up.
0:05.8	Your brain's not working anymore.
0:07.5	Your opportunity is while continuing to use the smartphone, I use a smartphone, don't become a victim of the smartphone.
0:15.4	Work all day.com.
0:17.0	Work on your game.
0:19.3	Work on your game.
0:25.0	This is Drey Baldwin. And Work on your game is the system that turns discipline into dominance.
0:26.8	Today's topic is why social media will never, ever, ever be real life.
0:33.1	So yesterday I gave you the other side of this while social media has become real life.
0:37.2	For many people today, I'm going to tell you, why social media has become real life for many
0:37.6	people today. I'm going to tell you why social media will never become real life, as I like to
0:41.6	argue both sides of many topics. I don't do it every single time I talk about things here, but
0:47.2	every now and then I do like to argue both sides of a conversation just so you can understand the
0:54.0	angles that both sides are coming from. You can draw your own conclusion as to what side you want to put yourself on, but you should understand both sides of a conversation just so, again, even if you disagree with the point, you want to understand why the point is the point. So given that, I just told you that social media has become real life. Now, as I said, I'm going to make the counter argument.
1:11.2	And this is why social media is not and will never be. This is important for those you who spend lots of time on social media.
1:17.0	And it seemed to do a lot more interactions with your phones and the alleged people on the other side of that phone than you do with actual humans in the flesh. This is important for you
1:29.7	to consider everything I'm going to tell you here today. Need to understand what I'm going to say
1:33.3	here today because not everyone is operating by the same mindset that you operate by and you probably
1:38.5	need to operate in both realms, the realm of what's happening on social and the realm of what's happening when you put your
1:44.9	phone down. Point number one, today's topic once again is why social media will never be real
1:49.9	life. Number one, real life in the flesh, human engagement still matters and you still need
