ASMR Videos
A commentary on Western culture that diagnoses us as addicts constantly in search of a fix.
The drug of choice is positive emotion combined with a tingling sensation. While it is clear that we need healthy doses of positive emotions for our mental stability, and the touch of another person to ground and console us, consuming videos that produce an Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response is like any other drug: a poor substitution for meaningful social interactions. Instead of isolating ourselves and watching videos like a crack addict, we should go outside and meet people.
One positive meaningful experience with a real person should be enough to inspire a change of habit.
