10 Million People. 10 Beautiful Minutes Each.
Everyone looks successful now. The distortion comes from seeing millions of people sharing the best 10 minutes of their entire year — then comparing all of it against your normal Tuesday afternoon. No human psychology was designed for this.
Everyone looks successful now.
You open the apps and the algorithms start flooding your brain with the most optimized versions of other people's lives.
One person doubled their income. Another raised funding. Someone else built a wildly successful project. Another one is traveling somewhere beautiful, eating something beautiful, living a beautiful life.
And after enough exposure, you slowly start feeling like the only unsuccessful person left alive.
But that is not reality.
The real distortion comes from seeing millions of people sharing the best 10 minutes of their entire year.
10 million people. 10 beautiful minutes each.
That becomes millions of hours of carefully selected life fragments entering your brain.
Meanwhile you are comparing all of that against your normal Tuesday afternoon.
No human psychology was designed for this.
Ignore it.
