It's always necessary to have your voice
0:01
and your wisdom. I want to touch on a
0:04
term that really caught my eye,
0:06
manufactured depression.
0:09
Which I believe is a is a is a phrase
0:13
>> And for the citizens, when you get this
0:15
book, you'll read that um according to
0:17
Wallow, manufactured depression is
0:19
essentially a depression that comes not
0:21
from real hardship, but from comparing
0:24
yourself to curated highlight reels on
0:28
social media and essentially desiring a
0:31
life without the work.
0:33
And I wanted to ask you, Wallow, if
0:36
well, one, how do you stay immune to
0:39
that when you're on social media so
0:43
And then two, what's the line in your
0:46
opinion between manufactured depression
0:51
>> Depression is like real life issues.
0:54
Some, you know, I'm not a specialist on
0:56
it, so I can't speak at a special thing.
0:58
But like you go through real life, you
0:59
know. There was times when I was in
1:00
prison, I was depressed. There was times
1:02
when I lost a family member, I was
1:03
depressed. It was times where I just was
1:05
lost and I was depressed. People,
1:08
Manufactured depression is when you take
1:10
and use what you're seeing on social
1:12
media, and use it as a measuring stick
1:13
versus your life, and now you're
1:15
I'm not doing enough.
1:17
Why ain't going trips? Why can't buy
1:18
this? Why I wasn't at that show? Why And
1:21
you're looking at some reels that's
1:22
manufactured. And the reason I say that
1:25
a lot of these things that you see on
1:27
you got to think about it. Like you
1:29
said, I'm a person that's always on it.
1:32
If you see three videos from me in a
1:33
day, that's three minutes.
1:37
>> Think about this. In an hour, you know
1:38
how many videos I can make?
1:40
Cuz I don't want to take Jake. I do my
1:41
stuff myself. Boom, boom, boom. You know
1:43
how many videos I can make in an in an
1:45
hour and just drop them every day and
1:48
So you got to think about that. Like
1:50
people will look at somebody People will
1:52
look at somebody and say, uh uh
1:54
Sway might drag her over somewhere,
1:56
right? He might be taking a video like
1:58
he might have her smile he might he
2:00
might he might catch her laughing
2:01
somewhere. So it look like she's happy
2:03
with him. Whole time she's she's not
2:04
really happy with him.
2:06
>> She's like, why am I with him? Why did
2:08
he drag But you saw that she was happy.
2:10
So he like, yeah, he going to write
2:11
yeah, we was down here enjoying the
2:13
festivities. He going to write all this
2:14
caption. Whole time she was pissed.
2:17
>> But he caught a moment when she was
2:19
laughing at something. So it was only a
2:20
second. So you will sit there and really
2:22
be having a good life. You got a parent
2:23
that love you. You got a child that love
2:25
you. You got a partner that love you.
2:26
You got a community that might love you.
2:28
You might go to a good church, a good
2:29
masjid, whatever you going you got a
2:30
real community of people that really
2:32
deal with who you are regardless of
2:34
money of anything. And you'll measure it
2:36
against somebody that's putting a fake
2:38
And you'll fall into this this
2:40
manufactured depression of oh, my life
2:42
ain't what it need to be. You have a
2:43
great life. There's somebody out there
2:45
praying for your life right now.
2:48
>> Man, kill him man. Hey man, I you know I
