“Brain Rot,” the 2024 Oxford word of the year captures the essence of our new podcast that is being created as a special series on the New Books Network (NBN). The full title is “Brain Rot: What Our Screens Are Doing to Our Minds.” In this second podcast Dr. Karyne Messina, a psychologist, psychoanalyst, author and NBN host discusses the problems the emerge when children watch screens and digital devices too much. Dr. Messina talked about this topic with Dr. Harry Gill, a well-known psychiatrist who also has a PhD. in neuroscience. In this episode the focus was on Erik Eriksson's 5th stage of development, Industry versus Inferiority. They discussed one of the greatest difficulties they see in their young patients who contend with way too much screen time. Dr. Gill talked about white matter in the brain where research has shown that children who spend more than the recommended amount of screen time exhibit lower levels of white matter development. In children exposed to excessive screen time, the white matter tracts supporting language, literacy, and cognitive skills show lower microstructural integrity. This means the white matter is less organized and structurally developed, potentially leading to slower and less efficient neural transmission. The impact on white matter development can have far-reaching consequences. White matter acts like cables, connecting various brain regions and is crucial for efficient brain functioning. Dr. Gill also talked about synaptic pruning and the implications that excessive screen time can interfere with this process. He explained that synaptic pruning is the process by which the brain eliminates unnecessary or underused synaptic connections, optimizing neural networks and improving the efficiency of brain function. Screen time, especially when it displaces other important developmental activities, may interfere with the experiences necessary for proper pruning. Dr. Messina focused on the task that is essential to acquire during the 5th phase of Eriksson's development stage which is competence. It go hand-in-hand with acquiring self-esteem. If these qualities are not developed in childhood, a person can be effected in negative ways throughout life. Learn more about your ad choices.

In today's episode, Dr. Aziz delves into a topic that many of us struggle with: feelings of inferiority. Have you ever felt less than others, whether in terms of intelligence, appearance, confidence, or any other area? These feelings are more than just thoughts; they come with a heavy emotional weight that can make you feel unworthy, unlovable, and disconnected. Dr. Aziz explores the roots of these feelings and, more importantly, provides actionable strategies to overcome them. Through a deep dive into the sources of these beliefs, you'll learn how to stop comparing yourself to others and start embracing your unique strengths. He offers practical advice on how to shift your mindset and build your self-esteem, helping you break free from the paralyzing grip of inferiority and step into your life with confidence. Tune in to discover how you can start believing in your own worth today.

Maybe it's not something you say out loud, but deep down, there's a sense of inadequacy, shame, or unworthiness that just won't go away. These feelings of inferiority can be incredibly painful, leaving you feeling stuck, isolated, and unsure of yourself. But what if I told you that overcoming these feelings is not only possible but within your reach? In this blog post, we'll explore where these feelings come from, how they persist, and most importantly, what you can do to break free and start feeling more confident today. Understanding the Roots of Inferiority You might have spent years trying to understand why you feel inferior. Maybe you've done therapy, reflecting on your childhood experiences—whether it was a critical parent, bullying, or feeling like an outcast. These insights can be valuable, but they often leave you with a lingering question: Now what? You have a narrative, but knowing where these feelings come from doesn't always make them go away. Stand-Out Quote "It's not about where your feelings of inferiority come from; it's about what you're doing to yourself right now that keeps them alive." The Internal Critic and Comparison At the heart of inferiority is a critical voice that compares you to others or an idealized version of yourself. This comparison might be about intelligence, confidence, appearance, or wealth. The list is endless, but the impact is the same: it triggers feelings of shame, unworthiness, and unlovability. But here's the thing—this comparison isn't something happening to you; it's something you're doing to yourself. Key Point: Identify Your Triggers Take a moment to identify the top three areas where you feel most inferior. Is it your intelligence? Your appearance? Your social skills? Understanding what triggers these feelings is the first step toward dismantling them. Breaking the Cycle: Stop Believing the Lies One of the most powerful steps you can take is to challenge the beliefs that fuel your inferiority. Why do you believe that you need to be smarter, more confident, or more attractive to be loved and accepted? Who told you that? Often, these beliefs are inherited from others—parents, peers, society—but they no longer serve you. "Your feelings of inferiority are not truths; they're protective shields keeping you from stepping fully into your life." The Path to Freedom: Taking Bold Action To truly overcome feelings of inferiority, you must act in defiance of the stories that hold you back. Make a list of the things you would do if you knew you were awesome—if you were confident, attractive, intelligent, and worthy. This list is your roadmap to freedom. Action Step: Create Your List Ask yourself: If I knew I was awesome, what would I do? Write down five to ten things. These might be goals you've been avoiding, risks you haven't taken, or opportunities you've let pass by. Start small if you need to, but start taking steps toward those goals. Embrace Your Awesomeness Remember, the feelings of inferiority you're struggling with are not permanent. They are learned behaviors that can be unlearned through action, awareness, and self-compassion. As you begin to take steps toward the life you want, you'll find that those feelings lose their power over you. You are capable, worthy, and deserving of everything you desire. "You have the power to rewrite your story. Take the first step today, and watch how your life transforms."

Until we speak again, may you have the courage to be who you are and know on a deep level that you're awesome.

Inferiority is something we all face at times.  Long term inferiority can lead to a dangerous place.

Proverbs 4 says, Be careful how you think:  your life is shaped by your thoughts.  Lies will take you to a deeper place of infereiority.  God can help you out with the truth of His word.  He knows you.  He can help.

Feelings of subjective inferiority can prevent us from acknowledging the value we can add to various situations throughout my life. These feelings can convince us to play small, keep quiet, and miss out on opportunities to empower others. They kept us from living up to our potential and there will always be collateral damage for NOT using our gifts, voice, and light.   Where do feelings of inferiority come from? How do we overcome them? How can we tell if those we teach or lead are feeling inferior? What are the benefits of helping those we teach or lead overcome their feelings of inferiority? How can we use feelings of inferiority to our advantage?   In this episode, Alana recounts a few experiences where feelings of inferiority held her back. She also talks about where feelings of inferiority come from, how to recognize them in yourself and others, and how to overcome or use them to your advantage. Want to connect with Sione & Alana?

Suzanne shares her personal journey of overcoming feelings of inferiority and embracing authenticity. Suzanne begins by recalling a hurtful comment on her YouTube channel and reflects on how she has grown to find such criticisms entertaining rather than debilitating. She discusses the importance of not altering one's appearance to please others, citing the character Mystique from the X-Men series as an inspiration for embracing one's natural self. Suzanne also touches on the unrealistic standards perpetuated by social media and the importance of being unapologetically oneself despite potential criticism. Drawing from the Roosevelt quotes about self-worth and participation, she emphasises the value of feedback from genuine sources over anonymous online trolls. Suzanne encourages listeners to rediscover and embrace their unique qualities, likening this process to exploring every room of one's inner 'castle,' a metaphor inspired by Debbie Ford's work. The episode concludes with a call to authenticity and a reminder that being unapologetically true to oneself is more fulfilling than conforming to societal expectations. In this episode Suzanne talks about: The Power of Eleanor Roosevelt's Quote Dealing with Online Criticism and Personal Growth Embracing Uniqueness and Rejecting Societal Pressure The Impact of Social Media and the Quest for Authenticity Overcoming Inferiority: A Personal Journey Rediscovering Yourself and Embracing Your Uniqueness The Importance of Being Unapologetically You A simple way to make my day – please subscribe to my YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/@suzanneculberg The Nope coach Suzanne Culberg teaches you how to put yourself first without feeling selfish, by setting healthy boundaries and reclaiming the unapologetic badass you long to be.

What role does the law play in salvation? How does the law compare to faith? Join us as Paul reveals the limits of the law and brings us to an emphatic conclusion: that faith and promise are superior to the law in every single way. 

A mere look can send daggers through our hearts or send our hearts soaring on the heights. Words can crush our hopes and dreams or give them wings. The two combined can create feelings of inferiority or feelings of empowerment. - Jessica Van Roekel SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts:Your Daily Prayer: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-prayer/Your Daily Bible Verse: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/ Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Brian also introduces his unique take on Instagram as a modern-day CRM, revealing how we can best leverage group chats and maintain meaningful relationships on the platform.

We live in an age of Liminality. It's at the roots of the Meaning Crisis of Nihilism and Leftist value structures. Coming from the same Latin word as subliminal (*limin* meaning "threshold") it is a term that has entered the mainstream from its roots in Anthropology with the work of Victor Turner. Victor Turner developed the concept in his work The Ritual Process. In this episode we will be answering the question what is Liminality and we'll be exploring it and its two cousins Marginality and Inferiority and how this trifecta shape the value structure of all society in the interplay between their Communitas/Antistructure with the world of politics economics and law — of status, power and competition — (which Turner calls "Structure"). ____________________

Step right up and listen to our episode about the most lethal carnival barker ever, ARCADE! Do Anthony & Doc press their luck and win big prizes, or do they hit a whammy with this assassin? Intro Background (2:02) Arcade created by Chris Claremont and John Byrne in Marvel Team-Up #65 (Jan 1978) Debuted as a hitman trying to kill Spider-Man and Captain Britain (Brian Braddock) in a game-like complex called Murderworld He often reappears regularly, establishing a new Murderworld with the help of various assistants, all of them designed to kill different heroes or pairs of heroes Murderworld is always filled with elaborate traps to extract maximum entertainment out of the killing, but Arcade always leaves his victims a sporting chance to escape - which they overwhelmingly do One of his biggest stories was Avengers Arena, where he kidnapped 16 teen heroes and brought them to an island, forcing them to kill each other until one survives, Battle Royale-style - unlike most previous stories, he does manage to kill several of the heroes Unlike many characters, little is known about Arcade's background - he claims to have grown up wealthy, but he was cut off by his father, whom he murdered in response Issues (4:48) Arcade. What Kevin McCallister probably would have become had he not grown up to be the Jigsaw Killer instead. The guy whose goofy panache and gimmicky trademarks bely a very dangerous and accomplished assassin. Arcade is one of those characters who's not even remotely a mystery in terms of his issues: Obsession with violence for the sake of entertainment. Think of the amount of work that goes into building the Murderworlds we've seen in the comics. Finding the physical space. Laying the foundation for construction. The blueprints, the design. Building a structure strong enough to withstand the impact of super-powered beings. Meticulously engineering multiple complex mechanical, electrical, computer, and robotics systems that all have to work in tandem with one another. Countless quality assurance tests to make sure everything runs the way he intends them to. And he custom-designs these giant deathtraps for every target. As an assassin, if his objective was just to kill, he could easily just use a ten-cent bullet. The sheer lengths that he goes to in order to carry out his hits are proof positive that it's not about the killing or the money he's being paid to kill for him, he really, really enjoys watching his targets struggle against his machinations, and the entertainment level that the violence and mayhem provide him. Disassociation with his actions. Much like the Jigsaw Killer, Arcade will never build a deathtrap that doesn't allow his victims a sporting chance to escape. Arcade has no philosophical motive towards making his targets appreciate their lives, however; he just doesn't think the game is any fun if the outcome is predetermined in advance. This does tend to cause him to overlook part of his own responsibility in what he's doing. It's not me killing these people. It's Murderworld. It's completely possible for them to win the game I've put them in, they're just not very good at it. (10:36) Inferiority complex. As revealed in the Avengers Arena arc, Arcade has an extremely poor reputation among both the superhero and supervillain community. Although he has a sterling record killing run of the mill targets, he has failed to kill every single superhero he's ever been contracted to assassinate. This causes him to suffer a deep depression when he finds out about it -- at his own birthday party, no less. (15:10) Break (21:55) Plugs for ODPH, Popcorn Psychology, and Chris Claremont Treatment (22:51) In-universe -  Out of universe -  People inured to the concept of violence when they see it on TV or on a computer screen, fans of contact or combat sports who turn themselves off to the pain being endured by the athletes for the sake of their entertainment. As a possible in-universe or out-of-universe way of diverting his talents to something not quite so evil, tell me Arcade -- with his proclivity for presentation, entertainment, and high stakes -- wouldn't make a perfect booker for a professional wrestling company. Skit (39:55) DOC: What? Huh? Where am I? ARCADE: Hello Doctor Issues, welcome to Murderworld! DOC: Who are you? ARCADE: I'm your friendly host, Arcade! You'll remember your stay here for the rest of your life. Unfortunately for you, that'll be, oh, about five more minutes! DOC: What? You won't get away with this! As soon as I call… ARCADE: Call whom? With what? You have no phone, no technology, no nothing. Let's face it, Doc, you're lonelier than a pimple-faced teen on prom night. But it's not all bad news, let me give you the rundown on exactly what's going to happen. You've got exactly five minutes to find the door that leads to your freedom, or this whole place will explode with the force of a hydrogen bomb, sending your atoms back into the oblivion from whence they came. DOC: Why do I have a feeling you're not exactly being honest with me? ARCADE: What would I have to gain from lying? You find the door, you walk away free. On my honor. DOC: All offense intended, that's not exactly encouraging. What's the catch? ARCADE: Fair enough, good sir. Now, if you walk through the door you're free. GETTING to the door, however… now there, I make no promises. Oh, and your clock starts… now. DOC: *running sounds* OK, I think I see something in this wooded area… WHOA. ARCADE: Ahh, here's your first test. Sure, there's a doorway just a few feet away. If only the whole ground, walls, and ceiling wasn't covered with arthropods, bugs, and more legs than the Rockettes Christmas Spectacular!  DOC: *shudders* Yeesh. ARCADE: Oh that's right, I forgot, you're terrified of… DOC: Hup hup haaahh… joke's on you, I'm not scared of bugs anymore. And I made it through the door with plenty of time to - aww man! ARCADE: Alright, fine, you made it through that one. But here's your next challenge - public speaking! All you have to do is recite the hippocratic oath in front of this crowd of people and TV cameras! Oh, such a shame I forgot to have a copy printed out for you in advance. Clock's ticking and all that. Welp, I guess you'll have to- DOC: *speedily* I do solemnly swear, by that which I hold most sacred, that I will be loyal to the profession of medicine, and just and generous to its members. I will lead my life and practice my art in uprightness and honor. And unto whoever house I enter, it shall be for the good of the sick to the utmost of my power. Holding myself apart from corruption, from tempting, from vice. I will exercise my art solely for the cure of my patients, and I will perform no operation for criminal purpose, even if solicited… ARCADE: Alright, hurry up and get to the finish so you can just die… DOC: But I didn't- ARCADE: Bah, you didn't stumble at all. I'm not worried, though, because there's no way you're going to make it through this last trap. Besides, you've only got thirty seconds left, and you won't solve this math- DOC: The limit does not exist. *unlock sound* *door opens* ARCADE: I… I really thought I was going to do it this time. I did my research, found out what you were afraid of. And then the math thing, I mean who can do differential calculus in their head like that? DOC: Haven't been scared of bugs in years. Public speaking? Dude, I host a podcast. And the math thing… did you do all that just for a Mean Girls reference? ARCADE: I gotta be honest, this wasn't my best work. I don't have my usual resources, I put a lot into Bitcoin, and whatever was in cash I had in Silicon Valley Bank. This kinda got slapped together.  DOC: Yeah, I can tell. My question is why? ARCADE: Ever since I knocked off those teens, I was riding high for a while. Then things came crashing down, and I needed another big win. I thought taking out the psychiatrist to the caped community would put me back on top.  DOC: But why do you have to be back on top? Do you realize the level of engineering and coordination it takes to set something up like this? You have an understanding of logistics and detail most people could only dream of. If you stopped trying to focus on killing people and pivoted towards a legitimate business, you could be the best in the field at that. ARCADE: But where's the challenge? The sport in watching someone try to figure out if they'll live? The adrenaline rush that you get seeing a person's head explode like a balloon? Without that, it's all just blueprints and greenbacks. There's more to life than money, surely you can appreciate that. DOC: I can, and far be it for me to tell someone not to pursue their passion. But when that passion comes at the expense of creating dangerous and deadly situations for innocent people, that's where- ARCADE: Oh come off it, Doctor. You can't possibly believe these caped clowns are innocent? How much collateral damage do they cause on a regular basis? I'm willing to wager that even your office has been impacted by them on more than one occasion. DOC: That's not the point. That's no reason to hurt or kill them. ARCADE: I didn't hear a denial. And anyway, it's all in the name of entertainment. Do you watch sports? Football? Boxing? MMA? I just take humanity's innate thirst for blood and guts, and I take it to its logical extremes. We thrill at the idea of someone pounding a man's skull in until he's incapable of speech, leaving him functionally brain dead towards the end of his life. But someone giving him the mercy of delivering a killing blow is beyond the pale? Let me ask you - would you rather remember Ali going out gracefully in 1978, or as a pale shell of his former self at the end of his life? DOC: Even if that's not a horrible analogy, which it absolutely is, you're ignoring the most important thing: choice. You kidnap these people and force them to kill or survive. That's not fair at all. ARCADE: It's not a guarantee that they'll die. There's always a sporting chance. Something to keep it interesting. DOC: Interesting for whom? That's my point.  ARCADE: For me, of course! What difference does it make if it doesn't interest anyone else? But you know that's false, too. Have you witnessed bare knuckle brawls, slap fighting, high speed racing? No one is there for competition alone. They all want to see someone's life changed forever…or ended. DOC: There's one thing you keep forgetting to mention…choice. Free will. It's obvious that you want complete control, AND you want violence. That's a terrible combination. ARCADE: We are made to compete. It's our nature. And we are destined to die. I make sure these happen at peak performance value. DOC: Then what's the difference between a game and…*snaps fingers* a game? That's it! A game! ARCADE: What are you getting at? DOC: Ever seen Wipeout? MXC? Ninja Warrior? Those are voluntary shows with some brutal consequences but people consider them to be in poor taste, not horrific. ARCADE: *slow to understand* And so… DOC: You could outplan all of those contraptions, I'm sure of it! But you're so stuck on one note that you've limited your creativity. It's death or nothing for you. How dull.  ARCADE: You mean…permanent disfigurement? DOC: *sigh* Broader than that! How about temporary embarrassment? Self doubt leading to self actualization. Impossible mortal feats being made possible to the non-caped community! ARCADE: Well, necromancy is where I draw the line DOC: Ugh…aaaaaanyway, my point is, do you think you could create a course so deviant that no one could solve it, and still not die? ARCADE: *pause* You are an absolute MADMAN, you know that? DOC: I'm sure it would have the backing of several major networks worth billions of dollars to the inventor and producer. ARCADE: *pause* My world is spinning right now. This is all absurd. You don't put people through trials and torture just to watch them succeed! DOC: Is it really that much worse than putting them through trials to DIE and they STILL succeed? ARCADE: Perhaps not. We'll have to agree to disagree then. DOC: *pause* wait, that's all? No extra ranting? No threats to kill me some other way? Just letting me go? ARCADE: I gave my word. You're not an interesting target anyway. You have no abilities, no talent, and it's obvious you don't do much for patients besides giving them guilt trips. DOC: That's a low blow ARCADE: No hard feelings. Shake on it?  DOC: *clearly wary* You serious right now? ARCADE: Always find ways to be serious when you're having fun, doctor. DOC: Alright *sound effects of struggle* ARCADE: YOU CHEATER! DOC: *out of breath* I may not know combat techniques, but I learned how to perform a patient takedown! You're not going anywhere until the proper authorities arrive *sound effect of handcuffs* and it's not a great idea to leave restraint equipment around even if you don't think anyone will be alive to use it. ARCADE: This isn't fair! I demand a do-over! A reset! … Ending Recommended reading:Avengers Arena Next episodes: Jonah Hex, Mister Sinister, Jeremy & Bre interview Plugs for social & GonnaGeek Network References: Tolerance paradox - Anthony (21:18) Motorhead “The Game” - Doc (51:27) Apple Podcasts: here Google Play: here Stitcher: here TuneIn: here iHeartRadio: here Twitter Facebook TikTok  Patreon TeePublic Discord

Episode 735: Most, if not all, church planters struggle with feeling inferior. Ed Stetzer, Scotty Smith and Adam Muhtaseb discuss ways of fighting feelings of inferiority.

Since early 2021, I've been haunted by a tweet I read: “If you're not grimacing every time you look at old work, then you aren't growing.” I decided that I needed to put the icky feeling to use. So I'm using it as inspiration for an exploratory journey into creative growth and self-compassion. Because I don't want to live in a world where people grimace every time they look at their "old work". That sounds like hell. So in this episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast, I want to explore how we might enjoy, rather than belittle, the bravery that gave rise to "old work". We will think about the difference between casting and using judgement to develop, mature and grow as people and in our creativity. And open up space for healthy foundational growth that doesn't follow a one-dimensional linear path. Episode contentsCreative Growth WITHOUT Grimace | 1:38Grimace-Growth is Imbalanced | 7:5What Does Creative Growth Look Like? | 12:46There Are Different Grimaces | 16:21Using vs Casting Judgement | 20:55Judgement as Shame ("I should be better") | 23:36Judgement of Project ("this could be improved") | 25:22Judgement of Opportunities and Desires | 29:35Using Feelings of Inferiority | 42:52Superiority Complex is an Inferiority Complex | 44:43Victim Mindset | 47:06Demands For The External World To Change | 48:24Willing Others To Fail | 49:06Replace The Disowning Grimace | 53:54Make Peace With Past Efforts (Equal But Not The Same) | 55:00Handing Over: A Bridge From Somewhere to Elsewhere | 56:11 Creative Growth WITHOUT Grimace | 1:38 When I internalise this grimace, it's not just about my relationship with my old work. It's about how I hold myself and other people. It's about how I relate to EVERYTHING. So, for example, if I was doing the best I could and still grimace when I look back at it, what am I doing with other people who are doing the best they can where they are? What sort of world does this approach create in the long run? Grimace-Growth is Imbalanced | 7:5 It's tough to grow from a healthy foundation when we feel the grimace looking at us. It evokes shame, embarrassment, and humiliation. It can leave us in a spirit of urgency and desperation. What Does Creative Growth Look Like? | 12:46 In The Burnout Society, Byung-Chul Han writes about the rate of acceleration in the world and what is happening to a culture that erodes "intervals, betweens, and interruptions", replacing them with restlessness, hyperactivity and mental exhaustion. Positivisation pedals the idea that action makes us free, yet we see it doing the opposite. In the name of "growth" and "progress", we are becoming automatic performance machines rather than subjective beings with the power "not to do". Growth isn't endless. It hits limits all the time. We reach a point where we won't get taller, our capacity for physical strength peaks, and our hair gets thin. How do you know you're moving in the right direction? What does it mean to keep growing as people? Is this a trap that separates us from ourselves? There Are Different Grimaces | 16:21 Not all grimaces are the same. The same facial expression can communicate different aspects of personal and creative growth. The "Last Big Push" Grimace: a facial contortion that shows you put every ounce of energy into striving towards the end (e.g. getting down the home stretch and over the finish line). The "Something's Wrong" Grimace: reacting to a disturbance in the anticipated flow (e.g. a wrong note, weird flash, bad smell, or strange taste). The "I Couldn't Do That" Grimace: a reaction to seeing someone do something scary or out of reach and imagining yourself doing it yourself (e.g. the idea of public speaking). The "Embarrassed For You" Grimace: cringing at something someone else has done - perhaps a relatable failure ("I know the feeling, and I'm glad it's you, not me") or a judgement ("what were you thinking!?")

I often get asked, “what is your favorite interview you've ever done?” Firstly, I don't have a favorite. But if I HAD TO CHOOSE ONE, it would be this episode. Alan Watts is a fascinating character in climbing history and a personal hero of mine. This interview was such a treat. I loved revisiting it for this repost. Enjoy!*This episode was originally published in EP 04, in February 2020.Alan Watts is widely regarded as the founding father of Smith Rock, and was a key player in the development of sport climbing in America. He established the first 5.13d in America with ‘East Face Crack' in 1985—just shy of the world standard. We talked about eating every other day, his paradigm shift from freeing aid climbs to face climbing, wearing Wolfgang's shirt, meeting Adam Ondra, and his “little slice of contribution” to the sport of climbing. Check out Athletic Greens!athleticgreens.com/NUGGETUse this link to get a free year's supply of vitamin D + 5 travel packs!Check out PhysiVantage!physivantage.com (link includes 15% off coupon)Use code "NUGGET15" at checkout for 15% off your next order!Check out Crimpd!crimpd.comOr download the Crimpd app!
