I appreciate that you pointed out how the increase in tempo made you uneasy. Bo taking us on the journey of the internet in just a few minutes and utilising the tempo to make us feel both comfortable and on-edge. It’s a pretty genius tactic.
An interesting little detail that I haven't seen anyone pick up on yet, he doesn't say "put the world in your hands" but "hand". So not actually giving any power to users to change anything, like we'd expect, but just giving us the tools (smartphone) to observe the world change, powerless to affect it ourselves
We humans are not emotionally ready for everything that the internet is. There should be classes for grade school kids on how to handle the pressure and the pitfalls that they will encounter growing up with internet being a major part of their lives.
Time has changed but the education system didn't, creating a gap for people who like you said, don't know how to use it properly. The internet can build ones life if used correctly or ruin it, I agree with you 100%!!
Our brains, as amazing as they are, simply did not evolve for this and are thus literally incapable of handling the constant, undiluted flow of pure information and stimulation we have created. It's utterly overwhelming, and apathy is our defense mechanism against that onslaught. But that very apathy makes it so we don't fight the temptation as we get sucked deeper and deeper into the thing that's killing us physically and mentally. A viscious cycle.
I agree and disagree, kind of sort of lol, IDK. I think or maybe wonder if the internet is actually just another step in our collective evolution, think of where were going? what's instore for humanity on the next level? could it be one day human communications could one day turn into our ability to telepathically communicate and if this is true, imagine goring from our current barbaric communications to telepathy, now that would be a hard transition, the internet would be aa transitional phase in the grand scheme of all tings. Now, will we evolve at some point to having the ability to use telepathy to communicate??? who knows, but the possibility certainly exist in fact their are already signs of this happening already on a very small scale. their have been many controlled scientific test and proof that it exist. so again who knows. I also believe humanity right now is going though other very big transitional phases, l mean, look at the state of the world, it all seems chaotic and bad, but what if there is a logical reason, maybe it has to be this way in order to move humanity to new understanding and direction, after all, our evolution never stops, we evolve all the time. Think of it this way, day by day nothing ever seems to change but in looking back we see nothing is as it once was, it's literally a never ending journey, we humans have for a large part have been so surprised that it's sometimes hard for us to see a possible future. it's all understandable and on a cosmic level, it's pretty cool when you step back and look at things from a 40,000ft perspective and get out from the day to day little dramas that often keep us limited in mind.. IDK, and I don't think anyone knows for certain what the future holds in store for humanity, but a great philosopher once said, if you ever wondered if something exist or not, if its thought about it exist somewhere. remember, all of creation always and in every case stems from thoughts, it's just the way the universe works, prove me wrong. so with this in mind, in a world with unlimited potential, anything becomes possible. Just some of my thoughts on all this, again, I do know the answers, only the questions. What I do know for certain is... Nothing is as it appears to be on the surface and it never was, most everything is a creation of someone else's illusion. what is real? what is truth? what is? and are we sure it's any of these things? Do we want to know or do we want to simply believe? that is the question.
@@TherapeuticReactions It's a common criticism (and rightly so) that the current US education system is basically a hold out from the reaction to the Industrial Revolution ("we need more workers"). It's the answer to "How can we get kids to be OK with rigid structure, adhering to rules from above without question, a long day often not filled with stimulating content and still teach them enough to be good workers?" Most modern jobs (tech, CAD-based architecture, even modern medicine of all stripes) don't fit this criteria and are far more fluid - it's why our education system so properly prepares people for remedial jobs and so *improperly* for modern jobs. How to handle the modern world whether it's the Internet, technological misinformation (deep fakes, spin/propaganda networks), physiology (staying healthy in sedentary lifestyles) and even modern finances should be basically required classes each *year*, in my opinion. Realistically, you deal with those things on a daily basis so why shouldn't they be included as core curriculum vs. trigonometry or learning a foreign language you'll likely never use?
1:52 welcome to Bo! Otherwise known as crippling anxiety. :) I just wanna gather berries and laughh at cat videos, but that lifestyle costs money which means work which means no time for either of those things let alone both. Life is a scam 😩😩
Hi guys! Are you doing well? I'd be happy to hear from you! Hope you enjoy my reaction to: Bo Burnham amazing Welcome to the internet from his new special - Inside -
@@TherapeuticReactions What I like best about Bo Burnham is that he approaches dark subjects in a humorous way. He's incredibly talented and actually a genius. I'd also recommend "Left Brain Right Brain".
I'm a teen (17) who grew up on the internet. That shit fucks you up and the amount of awful adults really hurt you. Like half of my trauma is from the internet
Hi everyone! Tried to upload the reaction to all eyes on me as promised but to my surprise it got blocked even though there's a lot of reactions out there to that song. At the moment I filed a dispute and I'll keep going with more reactions, hopefully you'll be able to watch all eyes on me reaction soon, if you have any advice on how to prevent this from happening, do let me know, you're amazing - thanks! 🤗🤗🤗
I really like your reaction! You seem so genuine and it's awesome. I subscribed and I'm watching the other videos you have on Bo now. My obsession with his stuff came back full force when Inside came out, so just know I'll be watching your reactions pretty much as soon as they are uploaded :) That Funny Feeling and How The World Works are my favorites from this special, I'm excited to see you experience them
Thank you Cherie! My first and foremost value is to be as real and genuine as I can with myself and you guys, so it's so fun getting this comment, how the world works coming right up! 😊🤗🤗
@@TherapeuticReactions I can listen to Bo's songs over and over as there's so much double meaning and myriad of possible interpretations. It's art imo. That's why i enjoy watching reaction video's like yours! What about this one: 'It was always the plan to put the world in your hand' --> cellphones to distract us from the outside world and keep us inside of our on bubbels
@@Femtastico Oh spot on in my opinion, followed by the evil laugh and the sentence "and if we stick together who knows what we'll do" that makes your point even stronger. When together we have the strength to push forward and succeed. When thinking we're together (social media) yet actually alone and apart, that is an illusion of power that only favors the people at the top
@@TherapeuticReactions yes, as long as we engage, those at the top make a profit.. if the media you use is free, you are the product right! Also 'unstoppable watchable youre time is now' --> thats just so clever lol your inside's out --> we put all of our thoughts on places like yt, twitter, blogs etc. That might not necessarily be a good thing
@@Femtastico Very interesting! As if we're sending our thoughts as you cleverly said - our inside out into a digital void only to feel more invisible, a great great point!
I interpreted "watchable" as a reference to the generation of content creators. Bo has talked about all of us being performers, "performing" a version of ourselves on social media, tiktok, UA-cam, etc... a generation of literally watchable people.
@@chrisgoss728 I totally agree that probably is the main perspective, mine was just to get to the wording from another angle. I guess that's the cool thing about him: with such wit and sharpness Bo has so many levels and double-triple meanings that you catch something new and different and special at every listening .
I appreciate that you pointed out how the increase in tempo made you uneasy.
Bo taking us on the journey of the internet in just a few minutes and utilising the tempo to make us feel both comfortable and on-edge. It’s a pretty genius tactic.
Thank you! I agree, we start at ease and end in complete chaos, genius!
@@TherapeuticReactions actually for someone like me with adhd it feels more natural? like how my thoughts tend to leap :P
The camera zooms as the tempo gets faster which makes you even more uneasy as you lose control of what you're watching
Bo knows how to deliver absolute truth hidden inside of ridiculous theater, I don't think most people can even comprehend his brilliance.
I absolutely agree.

Wow! Yeah I haven't noticed that one bit, thanks for that!

A bunch of schools have that now
Somehow "Thanks Bo," is the most poignant reaction I've seen to this song.
Such a smart song eye opening song
1:52 welcome to Bo! Otherwise known as crippling anxiety. :)
I just wanna gather berries and laughh at cat videos, but that lifestyle costs money which means work which means no time for either of those things let alone both. Life is a scam 😩😩
I can definitely understand that mindset, I'm struggling with it myself often
Notice on the word “fell” he dropped the note down. 🤯
Hi guys!
Are you doing well? I'd be happy to hear from you!
Hope you enjoy my reaction to:
Bo Burnham amazing Welcome to the internet from his new special - Inside -
You should check out "All Eyes on Me" by Bo Burnham. One of his best songs and I'll bet it would be a lot to unpack for a therapist. :)
@@chele8080 That is going to the next then! Thank you for the suggestion :) What part did you like best?
@@TherapeuticReactions What I like best about Bo Burnham is that he approaches dark subjects in a humorous way. He's incredibly talented and actually a genius. I'd also recommend "Left Brain Right Brain".
@@chele8080 he is a genius, an inspiration truly, is what you said from the special? I'll definitely check it out
Hi everyone, how are you? :) hope you're doing great!
The reaction starts at 0:15 😄
Looks like a perfect way to describe an addiction.
Great reaction, thank you.
My absolute pleasure, thanks for taking the time to comment

It’s circus freak show music. Humanities interaction with constant information is the exhibit. It’s insane.
I never connected and considered the increasing beat of the song to the lyrics. I believe that was 100% intentional. truly genius
Amazing reaction! Thank you for sharing!🙌
❤️❤️ Thank you!
An another UA-camr to binge watch 😁
Thank you for reacting! I like your interpretation of the song!
Thank you for taking the time to write that nice comment! I'm very glad you liked it, would love to hear your thoughts as well :)
