1114: Dr. Alok Kanojia | Breaking the Cycle of Digital Dependence

Do you wish you were a person who wanted to work out? That question is like 10 percent of the change. Huh. I know it sounds crazy, but like literally in that moment, you are learning to look at yourself in a different way. You are changing the questions that you ask yourself. And the reason that people don't change is because they ask the same question. I should work out. I should work out.

And they bludgeon themselves with that. And it never works. So like it's crazy like how asking the right question can elicit such a large change and changing your relationship with yourself and asking yourself, who am I? Instead of forcing yourself into trying to be something like that change in and of itself is gigantic. Like, who am I? What do I really want?

And like, you don't really answer that question honestly. You don't say to yourself, I actually don't want to work. I don't want a career. I'm living my life ping-ponging, not towards what I want. I'm ping-ponging between two negative things. I feel ashamed for not having a career. So you're like, that's why I should have a career. But I really don't enjoy this job. I don't want a career.

And so it's very hard to change if you're lying to yourself. That's 50% of it. So I think the flip side of it is also it becomes way easier to change than a lot of people realize once you stop lying to yourself.

Oh, yeah. This is really important to understand. So first thing is, we'll get to OnlyFans in a second. But I think pornography is, I really suspect it's the worst addiction on the planet right now. And I know that sounds like a really extreme take, because we have people dying of opiates and things like that. So if you look at the statistics, okay?

Wow. Wow. OK, like it's insane. How do they measure that? Great question. These are surveys. One of the citations I'm talking about surveyed 13000 people, random people, and just ask them, do you feel like you're addicted to pornography? Holy smokes. And 49 to 75 percent. Some studies suggest it's around 66 percent. Let's assume that all those studies are wrong.
