I watched these two videos about depression recently and found them interesting. Jacque Fresco talks about depression, self image, predictability, and reinforcements.

Thanks for sharing! I think he was able to put all the words together from what I've been thinking about in my own solution for depression. Through self worth and not placing your joy solely on the feedback of others and to keep learning/moving. And to do things because you want to do them. It really makes me think about the core root of my own problems.

Mine personally started because my own self-identity got shattered. Which eventually got me to question everything I knew about myself and I ended up spiraling into a terrible terrible place. And then there hit a point where I was terrified of myself because suddenly I couldn't find anything I wanted to do. Not even video games. And then I started reaching out towards old interests which began to help just a little bit. But he is definitely right about improving the root cause compared to short instantaneous joy. So the way to fix mine is really to rebuild my identity with more solid blocks. Hah easier said then done right? :P

Though I don't agree with everything he says and he seems to have changed his views over time. This was very informative thank you!

These are excellent! Yes, I couldn't agree more as society delves ever more shallow on the whole. Learning has gone out the window in lieu of popularity and social chatter. There would be far less depression if society worked on being intelligent, growing both spiritually and mentally. I started reading about world religions in 1994 and still have not run out of books as each time I learn something new I am set in a new direction to learn more. But yeah I guess my jeans are not in style and I am all that popular cause I don't what bands are popular now, lol.

Thanks! I added them to my: YouTube "Watch Later" playlist. I'll check them out!
