 When you hear the word viral, viral in the information matrix we all live in, that usually means something trivial in our opinion. It's usually something stupid, funny, or tragic, or maybe a weather that's not so trivial. But while it's not impossible, most truly good ideas or good mindsets never really go viral to the same extent. Why is that? Hey there, NJRoot22.com here with another vlog, a general interest vlog today. And it's about good ideas and good topics and why they don't go viral in the same way that other popular things go. And we said in our intro that things that usually go popular are easy or trivial or funny or something silly. It's like, I'll give you an example here, like low carb or carnivore living is making people healthy. Whoever finds this, like through the weeds of the information matrix, I like to call it, they find it and they make incredible progress and regain their health. They just pretty much save tons of money. They're healthy, they're happy, they're active, they don't have pain. The benefits are outrageous. But there's tons of evidence for this too. And the people that succeed like ourselves, we don't seem to get traction out there in the world. The people don't want to hear about it or it's not being allowed out there into the field. I don't know, the same thing goes for like living a frugal life and saving your money and being wise about how you spend versus consumerism and commercialism and over consumption. People are always being marketed and peddled things and they end up falling victim to this. And that whole frugality mindset of saving money and building a nest egg, it doesn't seem to take off. Of course, there's other economic issues like where people don't have enough money and they're depressed and they need to buy something to make themselves happy. I guess saving money and building a nest egg requires too much effort and it's just no fun. I guess things that are no fun and then require hard work or deep thought don't take off. So another thing I think one of the reasons why things go viral is because usually there's someone that can gain from it financially most of the time or gaining popularity which in turn results in financial benefits. For instance, one of the things is gluten-free or the plant-based phenomenon, they're not really good for the people and the gluten-free is just way, way over-height. There's like a very small percentage of people that are celiac or gluten intolerant yet you have entire aisles of products that are gluten-free because people think gluten-free sounds good. Oh, it's gluten-free. I can eat as much as I want. So those things that go viral a lot of times while they may have some minor benefit, there's never a profound benefit to humanity but the benefit in reality is for the companies that are taking advantage of that trending thing. And I really think here that one of the main obstacles why common sense doesn't take the world by storm is truly up here. It's psychological and I think marketing companies and businesses that tap into the human ego of emotion and that always beats logic and common sense. They figured out ways to tap into the part of the human brain that allows you to bypass common sense. Like do I need the latest iPhone? I really don't have a lot of money but I mean I have the iPhone 9 or 8 or whatever it was and do I need to get the iPhone 11 Pro and they make it seem like you need to have it. And of course Apple's weird in that way. They just make their phones not work anymore and they become annoying to use and they get like a month of happiness with your new phone before it starts having the same problems and the next iPhone 27 comes out. So it's all emotional this whole thing. But I'm really really upset about why good ideas don't go viral. And I'm talking more about the old school way of doing things like with a long form conversation and talking about ideas not just in one second or one afternoon or evening or one day. Good ideas in the past always took a long time to evolve and like philosophy and politics I mean decades I mean centuries like people were talking about ideas through multiple generations and they would have discussions and good discourse between people about ideas. And they go back into their little world and then they come back and with new information and rediscuss it and those I can't find anybody anymore that I that's willing to have like a philosophical non you know superficial conversation with me anymore. It's all about consumerism or celebrity or some sort of pop culture type thing. And that's kind of disappointing. That's why we don't really have too many people we like anymore. I mean they're they're really bores. Oh did you hear about Kim Kardashian or somebody that you would read on people.com which is just the propaganda outlet to popularize like certain people that are paying into the system. Every now and then they'll throw something interesting in there that's real just to give them credibility. But overall it's it's a bunch of garbage. I mean most people are simple minded these days and that's very frustrating to people like us and especially also the short conversations everybody's having on social media one sentence here there emojis thumbs up and and like I think I mentioned this the other day about the greeting cards. I mentioned on my blog njbrew22.com in case you didn't know about how greeting cards stores are falling off not all of them and Hallmark will be around forever I believe but no one really puts any effort into it anymore they they can easily get reminded when they wake up in the morning hey it's Bob's birthday happy birthday big guy how's the 50s treating you and they're done it takes 10 seconds of effort and then they're on to thinking about something else but I really wish that good ideas and people you know with strong minds could could be as viral as the stupid cat videos and people falling off a bridge or something like that but I think we're looking in the wrong place we don't really have the wherewithal right now to or the capability to go and find people like that and it's really not that big of a deal when you have a family and you have other things to worry about but it certainly would be nice to have more people in your general daily activities that that had more interesting minds and conversational abilities especially online too I mean I'm getting crap traffic on this website or and blog or vlog YouTube channel and it's it's frustrating because I know there's people out there I just don't know how to find them they make it very difficult to find so if you like this video please hit the subscribe and bell and all that it would really help me out a lot I'm gonna set up some patreon and all this other stuff to maybe we can get some momentum here maybe I can hire staff and get better filming studios and so on like that's it have a nice day
