Time Text
Thanks for watching.
But how about that chair that you're sitting in isn't solid?
How weird is that?
This reality is nothing like we think it is.
When I saw what Ike is doing, I was a bit jealous of him.
I was like, wow, look at what this guy is doing.
I don't know if anybody else could do it but him, actually.
We are in a period now where speaking your truth is not just important.
It's utterly crucial to where humanity goes from here.
The world needs renegades.
Hello and welcome to the David Ike Dog Connector video cast.
Well, I rewatched a documentary this week called Plugged In because I wanted to remind myself of some of the elements, some of the figures.
And it's a documentary, excellent, about the effect on young people of social media and the figures in the program.
These are just some of them.
Teenage suicide has increased by 50% in females under the age of 17 and by 30% in boys under the same age.
These are kids who are in the prime of life.
They should be full of joy, exploring the possibilities of life with joy and wonder and inspiration.
But they're killing themselves in ever greater numbers.
What the hell is going on?
Well, what is going on is truly, truly dark and sinister.
While the smiling faces in the t-shirts in Silicon Valley reap the rewards of their devastation of great swathes of young people and children.
In human society.
But I'll get into that.
As we go along.
Some more figures.
Teenage anxiety and depression have increased by 70% in 25 years.
The number of children and young people treated at accident and emergency units for a psychiatric condition has more than doubled since 2009.
Hospital admissions for teenagers with eating disorders is a big psychological imbalance marker have almost doubled in three years.
What the hell is going on?
Children and young people the world over are being psychologically targeted, systematically.
To unravel them psychologically because they will be the adults when the full-blown control of humanity is planned to be imposed.
Our kids and young people are being psychologically prepared To be totally psychologically controlled in every aspect of perception.
Their personalities are being broken down on purpose.
You know, I hear all this stuff in social media where People say they're manipulating people.
Of course they are. To be on the screens for longer.
Because then they get more money from advertising these corporations.
Well, yeah, that's part of it.
But it ain't the real part of it.
The real part of it is that in the end, your Facebooks, your Twitters, your Googles and all these other Silicon Valley companies Abominations are actually controlled by the same force and that force is working through all of them to break up and transform the personalities of children and young people via these bloody screens and social media.
And a key way they're doing it Is they are destroying self-esteem.
Yes, it's said that there's lots of narcissists on social media.
Of course they are. But what is narcissism?
It's not self-love as it's portrayed.
It's another way, simply, of hiding yourself from yourself.
By putting up this narcissistic front.
Some of the most outwardly self-confident people I've ever met have been the most insecure.
That's why Hollywood is full of insecure people with an outward personality of confidence.
One of the great attractions of Hollywood and the entertainment industry for insecure people is getting their security from external sources.
Because they can't get it from here.
And that, funnily enough, is what social media is doing.
More and more in the social media smartphone era, people, particularly the young, are getting their, or seeking their, self-esteem from external sources.
So they'll go on the...
They'll go on the platforms and they'll write things and post things they think will get a positive response.
It might not even be what they think.
Often it's not.
But it's what they think others want them to think and so they post it.
And they're looking for what's called a dopamine rush.
Chemical in the brain. Kind of a reward system.
Chemical reward system.
You get a rush. Ooh, someone likes it.
Someone likes me. And then, of course, if you post things that people don't like, if you're not underpinning and confirming the perceptions of the herd, bah, bah, Then you get the opposite.
You get abuse. And if you're getting your sense of security and self and self-esteem externally, that can destroy you.
Because to you, you're nothing anymore.
Everyone seems to hate you.
Everyone seems to dislike you.
Everyone seems to criticize you.
And it can get so dark and so desperate that it can lead to suicide.
it clearly is. The figures reveal the increase dramatically.
Well I don't post on social media.
I don't interact with social media.
Because I have news stories posted, Facebook and Twitter, and then people make of them what they will.
They either like them or they don't like them or they get something out of them or they get nothing out of them.
And they can tell me how wonderful I am for posting that or they can tell me how disgusting and horrible I am for posting that.
But it don't matter. Of course, I still post it anyway.
Because I believe it to be true otherwise or I believe it to be something that people should see and decide for themselves if it's true.
So you can tell me how wonderful I am or how horrible I am and it's all the same to me.
Because either way, it doesn't change.
What I feel, what I believe, what I post.
Because I don't get my sense of self and sense of security, self-esteem from external sources.
I don't need people to tell me how lovely I am to have self-esteem.
And in the same way, you can tell me how horrible I am as many times as you like.
It won't affect my self-esteem. Of course, it comes from within, not from external sources in terms of social media, most of them anonymous.
And I say to you, kids, young people, don't look for your sense of self From external sources.
Don't let others define you.
Whoever they are.
Parents, anybody.
Don't let them define you.
Define yourself.
And it's because we've lost this inner source of self-esteem.
This inner source of self-esteem.
Defining that people are caught in this social media trap of seeking on one side, of seeking to be accepted, to be validated by others.
Oh, I agree with you.
Oh, you're so right.
Oh, yeah, you're a good person.
And on the other, we have the even more extreme, psychologically imbalanced state of using social media to get a rush out of destroying the self-esteem and the lives of others.
And I say to young people on that very basis, what do you think of people who every day,
like I say, often behind anonymous login names, seek to hurt and dismantle the self-esteem.
the joy of others?
What do you think of those people? Well, they're horrible.
Yeah. They're horrible in their actions because they're psychologically imbalanced.
They need love more than anybody.
Because they're living in a sense of reality that's divorced of love.
And thus they act like they do.
But If you say, well, they're horrible, what the hell are you doing allowing them to define your life?
Someone gave me some good advice a very, very, very long time ago.
What do you gain by winning an argument with an idiot?
Nothing. Nothing.
Nothing to be gained by winning an argument with an idiot.
And by the way, you can't win an argument with an idiot because the idiot never knows when they've lost.
And why do you have arguments with anybody?
This is what I think. This is what I feel.
This is how I see the situation.
This is what I'm doing. How you feel about that is up to you.
Trolls and people, it's up to you.
You don't like what I've posted.
I don't like it. You do?
Well, good. But if you did or you didn't, I still post it.
Because that's me. That's unique me.
I am not trying to get you to like me by posting things I think you will like, even though I may not agree with them.
That's how the herd, the hive mind is being formed by this sleight of hand on the human psyche.
Because if you're looking externally for sources of your self-esteem, then you're not going to get that feedback by posting things that most people may not like or think are crazy or whatever.
You're not going to get that feedback.
You're probably going to get abuse. But if you're getting your self-esteem from here, none of that matters.
Because this is you, and that is you.
But if this inner self-esteem is not there, and you're looking for external self-esteem, then you're going to be posting more and more what you think people, the herd, bah, bah, like.
So you get good feedback, and you get the old chemical rush.
And what this does is form, step by step by step, the herd mentality.
Pulling people into the same area of perception and response.
And in this way and so many others, social media in the smartphone era is reforming the collective mentality.
Of so many people with the young particularly targeted because they'll be the adults when this is supposed to come in full-blown.
And we're back to labels.
I know I've gone about labels a lot.
Why? Because they're vital, I say, to understanding the nature of human society and certainly to understand the nature Of the effect of social media upon self-esteem.
By labels I mean I am ours.
I am a man. I am a woman.
I am black. I am Hindu.
I am Chinese.
I am Jewish.
I am Muslim. I am Christian.
I am ours. I am our, this sexuality or that sexuality, I am our, I am our, label, label, label, label.
If you start your life perception at birth and you perceive it ends at death, what we call death, another illusion, then you can self-identify With the label.
The label you were born into.
The labels you were given. The label society gives you.
The labels you self-identify with.
And these labels are merely experiences.
They're not you. What's your experience?
But if you fall for that trap, I am our label, then you are opening yourself To this manipulation of behaviour, this manipulation and destruction of self-esteem, because you're comparing your label with other labels.
So, I think the documentary pointed out that 60% of social media postings are selfies.
Selfies. I am R. I am R. And so many of these selfies are now being photoshopped, so they look as people would like you to look.
And this self-identification, total self-identification with the body, what do I look like?
Is total self-identification with labels.
And so you see On social media, the constant conflicts that go on between perceived labels.
Social justice warrior label.
Virtue signalling social justice warrior labels.
Right wing labels.
Liberal labels.
Conservative labels. Different sexuality labels.
Fighting each other. And this is how humanity has been set at war with itself.
by playing the labels off against each other.
And if you aspire...
And so many young people are manipulated to do so.
If you aspire to...
To being a label, a...
A personality, a lifestyle that fits what the herd is telling you must be.
Then you have this situation where people start to form into a blob and those who are outside the blob get All the abuse which without this self-esteem can destroy people and it is.
But let's look at another way of seeing life.
That you did not begin at birth and you will not end at what is called death.
You are an expression of infinite eternal awareness.
A state of being aware.
And what you call your labels are merely transitory, are just so brief Experiences for your awareness of this tiny, tiny, ludicrously tiny band of frequency we call human reality.
Now things take on a different perspective.
So you go on social media and you get a load of abuse.
And you are not having one life between birth and death.
It's just a brief experience for your eternal self, which is pure awareness.
No form, none of it.
Just vehicles for experience, that is.
You're just having an experience.
So... When you start getting into this, my body doesn't look like it should.
Your body is a vehicle to get you from here to here and the experiences in between.
And then you're out of here.
If you really break it down and break it down and break it down, it's like saying, my car doesn't look like it should do.
But you're on a journey from A to B. The car gets you there, what's it matter what it looks like?
It's an experience. That's all it is.
And who said? Who said that the body must look like this and the body must look like that?
External sources!
You're not pretty, you're not beautiful, because you look at what you look like.
Just a bloody vehicle for an experience.
That doesn't last that long.
And when you come from this perspective that you are awareness having a brief experience what happens in that brief experience and how people respond to you in that brief experience takes on a totally different and irrelevant light.
Because not only are you An expression of infinite awareness.
A point of attention within an infinite stream of consciousness.
You are a unique expression of that consciousness.
Unique.
This consciousness, put another way, is simply all possibility.
All potential.
What the heck do you want to be like everyone else for?
Why do you allow yourself to be pulled into this idea that you must be like everyone else?
Because if you're not like everyone else, then they don't like you.
What if they don't like you? They can do the other thing.
Doesn't matter to me.
Live your uniqueness.
And don't let the hurt define you.
Let alone pull you into states of depression and anxiety, even suicide, and out of the joy of being unique.
You.
When I look at my life from this perspective, I should have slept in a restaurant a long time ago.
Thank you.
By this criteria, I went through historic levels of ridicule.
Young people today won't remember that, but I did.
Couldn't go down the street without being laughed at.
Couldn't go in a bar without mega, mega laughter and ridicule.
Comedian only had to say my name to get a laugh.
Didn't even need a joke.
I was the joke. But I was going through an experience, a transformation from label David Icke I am infinite awareness having an experience called David Icke.
And I can tell you the difference is unbelievable.
Label David Icke, what do people think of me?
Infinite awareness having an experience as David Icke.
Don't give a shit. Who are you?
Who are you to define me?
I define me. And if you keep defining yourself and you keep living your uniqueness, then instead of you running towards the world, I want to be like everyone else, the world starts to come to you.
Because in a way you're reminding people of who they are.
Unique. Social media wants to make you a heard, even more than humanity has become.
and the consequences of that can be seen in these figures.
Let this define you, kids.
Let this define who you are.
And not some prat on social media.
And your point is?
It doesn't matter what people think of you.
It doesn't. It matters what you think of you and you are in control of that.
Take it back and start living your life and your uniqueness and your truth and not what some idiot behind a login name
who is psychologically dismantling themselves says you should be.
Thank you.
I've had abuse for 30 years.
It doesn't have to destroy you.
And it can only happen if you allow it.
It's not what people say about us, kids.
It's how we respond to what people say about us.
I would just give, for what it's worth, one piece of advice to those who are being affected by social media and all the stuff that goes on there.
All the things that are said about you by people who are falling into a psychopathic state that gets a rush from hurting others.
This is my piece of advice.
The power of not giving a shit cannot, cannot be overestimated.
Yo this yo that yo that blah blah blah blah blah Don't give a shit.
And the power that once had influence, even dramatic influence over you, and the source of the abuse that wishes to hurt you, that's why, They are abusing you and it's because they are so psychologically dismantled.
They define themselves by their ability to hurt others.
I mean, will it never affect us?
What? But the power that has over you, once you say, don't give a shit, is fantastic.
Because you break the feedback loop.
This is the feedback loop that social media is so much based upon.
The feedback loop of abuse.
I will hurt you.
I have the power to hurt you.
Someone being hurt.
Ah, coming back.
Rush, I've hurt somebody.
Someone being hurt.
Ah, and so it goes on.
These loops are going on all over the place in social media.
It's been designed like that.
It's been designed by psychopaths.
But that feedback loop is broken.
When you go, I have the power to hurt you.
Have some of that. Don't give a shit.
That's where the loop stops.
Because the rush of getting you to be hurt is broken.
When people abuse you, don't let it define you.
Speak these words.
I don't give a shit.
What you think about me, what you say about me, Because this is where my self-esteem comes from.
This is where my self-identity comes from.
I am all that is, has been, and ever can be having an experience.
and I'm currently having the experience that I don't give a shit.
We have the power.
We just spend our lives giving it away.
And thus letting others define us and us being controlled by external influences.
The herd.
Bah! Bah!
And in...
In terms of comparing ourselves...
Which is what people do all the time, social media.
They put up pictures that have been photoshopped and they look like they're supposed to look according to somebody.
But how do you compare infinite uniqueness with anyone else?
You can't. It is, as it says, unique.
There's nothing to compare it with.
They just want you to.
You are an expression of uniqueness.
How can you compare that with anyone?
You can't. So don't.
Whatever you are, it is you and not someone else.
Trying to be someone else is how we got into this mess.
And in terms of these platforms in general, which are designed to addict you, to condition you, to serve their financial and psychological interests by being on there all the time, Just as the question should be asked, why is my self-esteem being destroyed by an idiot?
Even a psychopathic idiot gets the rush from hurting people.
Why are people spending so much time on platforms that have been systematically designed to destroy you?
Like I say, we should get smiling, goofy, smiling, bloody t-shirts out of our heads as a symbol of social media and the smartphone era.
It is dark.
It is sinister.
And it has the goal of rewiring the psychology of the human race, starting overwhelmingly with the young and then through that, as they become adults, the entirety of the human race.
And in this documentary plugged in, there are a number of clips of interviews With a guy who seems extremely switched on to all this.
A psychology professor called Sam Vaknin.
And this is what he said about these platforms that have contributed and continue to do so to this dramatic rise in the destruction of the lives of young people.
To the point of suicide, depression, anxiety.
Deleted self-esteem.
This is what he said about them.
And he's right.
He's spot on. So why are we letting these people define us and destroy us?
Let alone some prat in a bedroom beyond a login name.
This is what he said.
Facebook, Twitter, all these networks are surfing the wave.
They know it's a dangerous wave.
They know that people are drowning in They read all the statistics, the increased suicide rate, depression, anxiety.
They know absolutely everything.
They have designed maliciously, malevolently, and possibly criminally, they have designed the algorithms and the networks exactly to cater to human pathology in its most extreme form.
That is the mentality behind Facebook and Twitter and all these other sources of so-called social media.
Much of it's not very social at all.
The people behind this should not be talking to reverent audiences who look up in awe.
Oh, it's Mark Zuckerberg.
They should be in freaking jail for crimes against humanity and particularly young people.
Because he's right.
They do know its effect.
They have designed this system to have that effect.
and they are transforming human psychology among those who have not reconnected with true self.
That's the bottom line of it.
Thank you.
Thank you.
They are infiltrating the human psyche.
And manipulating it to their will and to their ends, or that which in the shadows controls them.
And the young are the biggest target.
So, kids and young people, don't let them do it.
And you can stop them, quite simply, By defining yourself and not letting anyone, anyone else do it for you.
Who are they to define you?
Who are they? Who are parents to define you?
Who are trolls to define you?
Who are psychopaths to define you?
Who is anyone? You find yourself from the perspective that you are a unique expression of infinite awareness, having a brief experience.
And the nature of that experience is down to you and no one else.
You are unique.
You've always been unique.
