YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

“I think digitalization, and the smartphone, make us depressed… When we are depressed, we lose our relationship with the world, with the other. We sink into a scattered ego… We need information to be silenced. Otherwise, our brains will explode. Today we perceive the world through information. That’s how we lose the experience of being present. We are increasingly disconnected from the world. We are losing the world…. As a child, I remember holding my mother’s hand at the dentist’s office. Today the mother will not offer the child her hand, but a cellphone. Support does not come from others, but from oneself. That makes us sick. We have to recover the other person.”

- South Korean-born Swiss-German philosopher, Byung-Chul Han
