Hey hon.
A (1:05)
So what do you think of all those terms? What do they mean? So think about it. Doom surfing doom scrolling brain rot infodemic. Seems to be a lot of that going on these days.
B (1:20)
I would have to agree. You know, I'm pretty addicted to doom scrolling my recipes in the morning. So I do, I do get that.
A (1:27)
Okay. But there is a fundamental difference. So let's open with this. You know, this conversation really is about all of the information that is coming at us. And you know, after coming off an event that I spoke at and called Expand in Toronto, I presented on how to get the most out of an event. And it's a presentation I've done before within the context of this content. Without context is just more information. So we think about all of the information coming at us. You doom scrolling what you call your recipes. Got it. But you have a context for your recipes because you are in fact preparing meals. You love chefing and love learning and love putting it to work. So you have a context for the information that you refer to as your doom scrolling. That's not the norm. So we come at this with all this information, yet we don't have a place for it. We blow two hours gathering all this information, but without a context it just goes away. So it's just a big fat waste.

Of time is what it is.
A (2:46)
A big fat waste of time and brain power and horsepower. Because most doom scrolling is on negative stuff. I mean, certainly there's the cat videos and the dog videos and the dog talking videos and they're all fun. But you can get caught and go down this path of eating up time, energy. And a lot of the doom scrolling is based on a lot of negative information. And the next thing you know, you're living in this world where it seems to be coming to an End the world, that is, because that's what the information is and how do we digest it? What is the impact on our psyche and our consciousness and what does it do? And next thing you know, we've normalized it. And I speak to this with some authority because of all of the research that I'm doing with what's going on economically. So I do look at the macro, I look at the micro, I look provincially, nationally by city, and there is no good news. So it does feel a lot like doom. Scrolling. Sometimes I look for good news. Hard to find any. And now I'm starting to second guess. Is it because that's the world I'm in or is that really what's happening? You follow what I'm saying?
