And that is registered in the brain as something that is extremely dangerous.

And that's why you feel so bad about it.

Yeah.

And if you take a step back, you let someone who you have never met, who you will never meet, make you feel inadequate.

Because they had a better looking toilet or more expensive vacation or a nicer car or what have you.

I mean, that's insane.

Of course, it happens to me all the time as well.

But the more you think about these things, when you read about it and you have to hear it many times, you have to hear it from many sort of different angles and presented in different ways.

then you start to seeing it being played out in yourself.

And that's why we have to create distance to it.

I'm not going to let any big American company steal my focus because they're making money from my eyeballs staring at the screen.

I mean, how do you as a busy professional... I'm incredibly cautious about my focus.

Focus is something that is very, very vulnerable.

If you've lectured, you probably noticed that you could have a couple of hundred individuals listening to, and then one comes late, and everyone is looking at the person who's coming late.

What does it matter if one person is late?

Well, that's because we are not...

The brain didn't evolve to be focused.

It evolved to constantly scan your surrounding for danger.

It says something there, there, there, there, there.

So we are incredibly easily distracted.
