In today’s episode of Impact Theory, I’m joined by Dr. Alok Kanojia to discuss how to get out of the TIGHT HOLD technology has on us so we can stop being lazy and addicted and instead have a meaningful life and healthy relationships with REAL PEOPLE (not AI). Dr. K is known as “the healthy gamer”. When he was in college he realized he was addicted to video games. He moved to India to become a monk and ultimately went to medical school and became a psychiatrist. Today, he combines Eastern therapies (like yoga, meditation and Ayurveda) with classic psychotherapy to help people deal with technology addictions like video games, porn, etc. We are going deep into topics like: - How & why technology is so addicting - Understanding WHERE desire comes from - How attachment & baggage are holding you back - What porn does to your brain - Men’s responsibility to respond to domestication, women’s expectations, and suffering - Why frame of reference, reality, and focusing on yourself are the way out - The 1 key to getting over addiction - Tips to overcome technology’s addictive nature - The power of detachment and transcending achievement - Righteous fury, comparisons, and the ego conditioning your mind - The power of meditation and empathy Technology addiction is real, and it won’t be easy to overcome, but this episode gives you the keys to what you can do to combat the brain-numbing, addictive nature of social media, video games, and even dating apps. Chapter Markers: [0:00] Conflict Behind Willpower [24:59] Let Go & Get Authentic [41:32] Technology Addiction & Porn [1:18:45] Biology Affects Behavior [1:46:23] Seeing Beyond Our Frame [2:12:16] Help with Your Skills & Hard Work [2:45:02] Investment, Attachments & Meditation Powerful Insights From Dr. K: “It’s not willpower, it’s awareness of a conflict that we subjectively experience as willpower, which is kind of hard to understand.“ “So we see this where there’s like, basically you need a stronger and stronger stimulus to chase that old dopaminergic rush...“ “And I think at some point someone is going to combine all of this stuff into a girlfriend that throws temper tantrums, that is there for you, maybe even kind of pretend cheats on you, and then has all this psychologically activating stuff along with physical feedback, flashlights, virtual reality, it’ll all get integrated, and then the human race is fucked.“ “The basic reason I think mental health is moving in the wrong direction, is that the institutional powers that understand human behavior, our understanding of human behavior on the scientific or population level, has grown so sophisticated, but our understanding of ourselves within us has come to an all-time low.“ “I know this sounds crazy, but the moment that human beings start to say, I don’t need to be heard, it’s okay for me to not get my needs met, and I’m willing to still support someone else, that’s the moment things will turn around.“ “Because what happens is in puberty, you have a fundamental change of your biology, of your hormones, of your tissues, of your brain, that allows you to have an experience that you could literally would be impossible for you to have before. So in meditation, the process of doing esoteric Sadhana’s spiritual practice, when you do this, you go through something like puberty, but in the non material plane, in the spiritual realm, you go through a transformation that allows you to experience things that were literally unfathomable before.“ Follow Dr. Alok Kanojia: Website: Twitch: YouTube: Follow Me, Tom Bilyeu: Website: X: Instagram: If you want to dive deeper into my content, search through every episode, find specific topics I’ve covered, and ask me questions.
