YouTube Description
as posted by the channelRussell Brand makes the case that doomscrolling is not a cause but a symptom — the expression of a deep spiritual malady in a culture that has stripped sanctity from life, told people they are meaningless, and then acted surprised when they cannot stop staring at their phones. The UK government's response, he argues, is predictably revealing: overnight curfews on social media for teenagers, VPN restrictions, AI chatbot controls, and a quiet push to redefine what social media even is — not to help anyone but to justify another layer of censorship and control. Once you understand that the emptiness driving the addiction was created by the same system now offering to fix it, the whole thing becomes a lot clearer.
