@@thedukeofnorton Yes it absolutely is and who in their right mind wouldn't like it. The dog certainly doesn't. And the fact you're out here defending the degeneration tells a lot about your state of mind as well. Stockholm syndrome?
I love that movie Idiocracy. It is like watching a historical document. Kids these days are at least as dumb as that movie... they call it a dumbing down process. Basically if your under 30 years old, you considered a moron, to everyone who is older. I think back to myself at say, 25 years old. I was a dumbass too. They think they are smart, but everything they learn in college is so that when they get a new job, they will only know the bare minimum of that job. Making them, still a moron. So when someone older talks to you, listen. They know more than you will ever know. In fact, they probably forgot more than you know.
As a person is his 20's, I completely agree with Claus. The average young person has become a shell filled with tiktok and the attention span of a fruit fly.
Another unbelievable consequence is that of young mums, pushing the most precious thing in their lives, namely their child in a pushchair, into the gutter, off of the sidewalk, whilst staring at their mobile phone, 'cos everybody knows that a pushchair is going to stop any vehicular traffic that runs into it...🤔
I watch you, Claus, not Tik Tok. Flying is extremely boring and uncomfortable. I play endless games of Euchre, Sudoku, Poker, Solitaire, Mahjong and watch UA-cam videos so I can forget I am being simultaneously positionally tortured while being overcharged on a commercial airline, surrounded by people so impolite and numb that they use their phones at full volume without headphones and rude parents give their children obnoxiously noisy, repetitive pad games without providing headphones, in order to distract their hideous spawn from the same torture I am experiencing. The flight attendants have bigger fish to fry with the predictable few borderline and real panic attacks of psychologically and chemically challenged passengers ready to pick a fight or open a cabin door without notice, throwing tantrums for more drinks and extra snacks, kicking the backs of the seats in front of them in OCD, sadistic glee for the duration of the flight. I can understand why a person will fall into Tik Tok for an entire flight. I do wish they would turn down the tinny volume of their earbuds enough that I could hear mine at a level that does not destroy what hearing I have left, but I can only assume they have already destroyed their own hearing and everything seems normal to them, so what is the point of making a fuss? My rule is to never burn bridges with my random seatmates. I pack extra ear buds in my carry-on and will offer them as a gift to any rude person within earshot. I love travel so much.
Back in the day when I was doing a lot of flying (including long haul flights from the UK to Japan or Australia and shorter flights to the USA or Canada) I'd take a book, a magazine and a cassette player with decent headphones.
I couldn’t agree with you more Claus. I think that Social Media has become the end of actual discussion face to face. Still pay my bills by check, call people on the phone and enjoy talking to people in person. Cell phone goes off at 6:00 pm and does not get turned back on until 6:30am. Don’t get me wrong as I believe that the internet etc. are great tools but they shouldn’t replace physical interaction.IMHO.
Clockwork Orange is a good reference. I work 14 hrs/5 days. Home and at times ... it's wot, Claus vid and Tic Toc and yes ... at times it's a bit much. Guilty!
I was sharing a flat with my ex partners daughter who was in her mid twenties, she wore headphones twenty four hours a day, no joke. She was completely incapable of normal interaction and constantly had ear infections, I wonder why?!! It is a little scary that there is a generation of zombies but I do remember my parents and grandparents shaking their heads at my generation. Damn kids!! 🤣🤣🤣
Was it Aristotle who criticised literacy amongst his students as a threat to analytical thought as consumption would become passive? My parents generation had a similar view of television; we are just old farts Claus but in the heritage of Aristotle. Be proud!
I'm 18 and it's a true shame what's happening to the people around me. People are more focused on the virtual world than reality. It's not exclusive to short-form content, it's the entertainment industry as a whole. One of my friends sits in his room ALL day. He has a PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, Oculus, PC, phone, and a tablet. I'm willing to bet he spends at least 10 hours a day on his devices. Whenever I visit him, he never leaves the call with his online friends. I'm trying to get him to work out some more, but I can't change his life for him. He needs to take initiative and harness control over the digital distractions that are plaguing our generation. And to answer your question, Claus, it's called dopamine addiction. It's been around forever, but the availability of short-form content nowadays means that nearly everyone in my generation falls into the trap.
At your age, we dated girls and drove our cars, looking for girls. We had parties and camping trips. We met at amusement parks, and strolled through the malls, looking for girls to hang out with. This was the 1980-90's. Pagers were a big thing back then. we would leave our phone numbers with a 911 for call me back fast, and a 411 for let me know where you are. that is about the extent of pagers comms back then. lol much has changed. We will have to just accept that the younger generation are lame to the skills we had back then. We climbed trees and built tree houses in them, we have mini bike with snowblower engines on them, etc, etc..... we knew stuff. All you guys know is how, to use your thumbs.... and that is IT. Sad, weak, and dumb is no way to live life, but this is how it is now.
@@KOS762 Wow, that got dark fast. My kids are in their twenties and they all spend time on their phones and computers, but two of the three also rebuild cars and trucks from the frame up as a hobby. They swap gas engines for diesel (and all that entails), change from automatic to standard transmissions, as well as rebuilding those same transmissions. On top of that they have successful relationships even though they met their spouses on Tinder. Not all young people are slaves to their screens. At least, not yet.
@@ClausKellermanGood idea, but I don't think we should rush it. He could go into severe shock as a withdrawal symptom. Perhaps I could introduce him to certain flora such as grass before moving to extreme measures that involve limiting his precious screen time.
@@KOS762You're making a huge exaggeration but I tend to agree that my generation is less skilled. It has just as much to do with the shitty education system as well. The more intelligent people realize when they've fallen into the trap, and they take action. The weak just let social media rule their lives. I can tell you that most people my age are aware that they spend too much time online, it's just that most of them just don't realize how much they're hurting themselves, and how much better they could be if they get control over their life.
I travel a lot for work (too much) and what I have observed is certain countries are completely obsessed with phones. Calling out the UK and Spain as being the worst. The 'productive class' is now the zombie class.
Imho tiktok or youtube or any other platform or social media or even technology are not the problem. The problem is that none of us can use technology and all I mentioned earlier in a moderate, filtered or positive way. I wonder are there people nowadays that are proud of what they have accomplished as a nation or country etc or this kind of pride is only a thing of the past, of the history? How will the history be in 100-200 years from now? Will our descendants be proud of what we have accomplished? Will our achievements be worthy of mentioning in the history? Will we have made Pyramids, Stonehenge, Taj Mahal, Democracy, the Mona Lisa, the Starry Night, the Sistine Chapel?
^^ This is exactly what I was looking for in the comments! I forgot the name of the movie, but remember buying this for my girls. Those scenes of all the people zipping along in their 1 person autonomous hovercarts, tuned out and staring blankly and wide-eyed at their giant screens...
Yes Claus, people avoid sitting with themselves, emotions, etc. This is a terrible sign of out times. And yes - tiktoks format and other apps like that - is literal brainrot - and yes this is a psyop and almost like you said - a military operation - against people :/ '"The best way to keep a prisoner from escaping is to make sure he never knows he's in prison." A ability to form ideas and thoughts is gone - it's all brain rot - a good citizen.
One of the most shocking things I have witnessed, on the subject of young people addicted to media, is when I was driving a company truck a few years ago. I was at a stop light, and glanced into my rear view mirror. What I seen was a 20 something mother, staring at her lap (obviously a phone), while her I assume 2 year old child was jumping up and down in the back seat. My jaw was hanging.
Correction Claus, Psyops wasn't used in DS/DS, the coalition carpet bombed the fwd Iraqi positions 24/7 from Jan. 15th to the beginning of the ground offensive. That is how they were transformed into emotional mush. The Psyops operation was used on Strongman Manuel Noriega to make him give up, they played Ozzy Osborn Crazy Train on loop. You are very welcome.
Totally agree Claus. My ex & her current husband are like that dont talk just text back forth whether they in opposite rooms or same room . Youngest child at 7 sits watching endless 10-30sec clips & has the attention span of a knat. Does not comprehend english language in the slightest even though can understand & comply an answer. Just bloody sadd.
I don't do social media and never been on TikTok, just post the odd UA-cam video and that is it, the whole thing is unhealthy for the mind and not just making us dumb but causing depression and anxiety
Its been around a long time this phone addiction. Siting in a bar with my fave DJ in the background (Andrew Weathall), bunch of 9 - 10 teens / 20s all on thier phones, no converssation, no interation. I couldnt help myself and asked them what they were all doing. One looked up and said "waiting for Andrew to start playing". I told them that he'd been playing for half an hour already. that was at least 4 years ago.
I read an article, Greggs a British, big chain bakery will refuse service to rude customers. In short they will tell people on their phones not paying attention/acknowledging to the server behind the counter to get lost.
Speaking of the light buld, there is a new cheat mod floating around where the light bulb remains remains lit whilst ever the player remains spotted. A couple of European posters have shown it.
If you take the bipartisanship 50 percent willingly follows the lampshade while the other 50 percent follows the house plant we are already there...😂😅😂😅😂😅
The pioneers who went through the great depression thought the generation who stormed the beaches at Normandy were soft. It is normal to see the younger generations as weak because our success granted them a better life. It's a sign of progress (sort of).
There is no thinking involved. The answers and the QUESTIONS are all provided. Think about that...every bit of information is "controlled" even the questions.The best students were those who could regurgitate the indoctrination Propaganda. I did have an old professor who asked questions that required critical thinking, about the subject, and, everyone said his class was "Too Hard!" [whine]. I loved it even though the professor and i rarely agreed. The students were afraid to engage...they thought they'd be penalized for having their own opinion. But, the professor and I became friends. * In all fairness I was in my 30's and there are professors using/abusing their Authority.
You have just summed up all the problems with higher/college education. No wonder it is harder to educate anyone these days. Electronic online stuff just drains the ability to think for ones self.
Thank you, old man 😀 By the way, in the first round of elections from Romania, a guy just won it only by promoting on TikTok! That's how big it really is .. unfortunately 😱
Ave Claus. Yes, it is getting out of hand with those kind of people. I had a younger collage who could not make a phonecall or have a conversation... becouse he could not interact with people "live". Phonezomies irritate me more than anything and they are everywhere. And the worst thing i find is that they lost there common sence, manners, and code of conduct as a human. They are, indeed, walking cattle who ones where human. Its a sad world out there at the moment.. 😢
Limited attention span, that's why UA-cam has all these shorts now. The fear of Big Brother watching you. People willingly purchase and put these devices in their homes. Try this little experiment, say a word something marketable, repeat over and over during the day. See if some product ads related to this word pop up. Thanks Claus, good show.
Hey Claus - You are in good company. Review the life and works of Herbert George Wells, better known as H.G. Wells, from 1866 to 1946, so he lived through 80 of some of mankind's most technologically advancing years. Probably his best-known work is "The Time Machine," where in the far future, the Traveler finds the ELIO and the MORLOCKS. And the Eloi are just what you describe - simple, child-like people who eat only fruit and play simple games all day. They rightly fear the night when the Morlocks emerge from their underground factories (the underground factories allow the Eloi to live their simple lives) and feed on the Eloi. Wells published this in 1895, thus showing his foresight of upcoming events. Another insightful story was "The World Set Free," published in 1914, which predicted an atomic bomb (although its effect was more volcano-like than explosive). After learning about the atomic weapons used against Japan, it was reported that Wells wanted his epitaph to read:: "I told you so, you damn fools." Regarding our reliance on modern technology, I suggest watching the BBC TV series "Connections" (1987) by British science journalist James Burke. It consists of 10 episodes where Burke picks 9 modern inventions and follows the zigzag path of past discoveries that led to that invention. Even the first episode is chilling - "The Trigger Effect" - as it deals with the technological trap that closed on New York City in 1965 during the Great Power Blackout that paralyzed the city and reached nine eastern US states and as far north as Ontario.
yeah you go to a restaurant and just about every 20 something has their face buried in the phone...hardly even acknowledging the waitress/waiter trying to get their order...also my son got t-boned in a intersection because of one of these zombies was looking at his phone and did not stop at the stoplight.He hit my son going 50 mph,luckily my son was not seriously hurt but his car he had just paid off 2 weeks ago wad totaled
In Being There, when Chance tries to turn the gang people off with his TV remote control. I expect a Gen Z kid to put his hand in front of my face and then swiping right to try to move on from me and my words.
The right side of the Bell Curve is necessarily a minority of any generation. Smart kids these days are incomprehensively brilliant. Who do you imagine fills the jobs at semiconductor fabs today? Young 400IQ propeller heads.
My Granddaughter is not like that she is 23 in the Navy married to a Navy guy! She has better things to do! She in law enforcement in the navy she wants to be an investigator! But lots and lots of them are stupid!!
Hello Claus, about the young person on the plane that you were talking about, there is a patent with screens, cell phones and home computers and TVs, to be able to manipulate people, and infer subliminal messages, or behaviors, + electromagnetic waves , + the mind-numbing videos, not for nothing that a large majority of people become stupid, look at the bus stops, they all have their heads tilted on their cell, good continuity, and thank you for your videos
It’s just faster brain rot, in my day I’d see the same with peoples faces jammed in a news paper, AM radio on all day etc. just like this game I assume everyone is a muppet
As a parent of a 21 year old, though there are many young people that fit your description, it is not universal. My experience think it’s largely an American problem. I’ve found European kids are much less this way.
Claus, in Europe, to my knowledge, there's not a single airline that enables internet on flights yet. If that even exists it probably is an expensive extra in business class or something. sounds like you guys in North America are ahead of us. But maybe that would be the answer to your problem - stopping the internet service on flights would be such an inconvenience that the TikTok generation would stop flying pointlessly around the continent. It would either be good for the planet if they did, or it would good for their social skills if they didn't - so a win win either way!
I have seen this staring at the phone crap everywhere. I would sooner sit up on the side of a mountain and watch nature and the world go by. Do you really post at 4am? That is some old guy shit there man. LOL
I see that all day long Claus. They can't breath air until they have a cell phone in their face. They need the phone, addicted to the phone. Without it, their brains do not function. Reality, or the world around them takes a backseat to the phone. I see videos, of the slums of the Philippines... The guy's walking through the tiny little back alleys and streets, filled with trash and garbage. Chickens, dog, cats, and a ton of kids! But you see the young people... "Mostly girls," on their phones, walking along looking at them. Same thing in Thailand. They look exactly like the kids in the US. That same mindless, cellphone like, induced coma.
Another social media disease is people taking their phone for a walk and the dog has to come along too, to be completely ignored.
That’s not a social media disease, that’s just something you don’t like.
I enjoy playing catch with Marty much more than any tik tok video.
@@thedukeofnorton Yes it absolutely is and who in their right mind wouldn't like it. The dog certainly doesn't.

Never touched TikTok or UA-cam shorts,
wish more people would notice the brainrot,

You have just summed up all the problems with higher/college education. No wonder it is harder to educate anyone these days. Electronic online stuff just drains the ability to think for ones self.
Absolutely truth
Grandkids
Made it to viewer number 78. Slowly working towards number 1
You've gotta be Quickdraw McGraw!
Thank you!
mass psychosis
I am truly SHOCKED! Yesterday was the *first time in over 2 years* when I didn't see CK's video!
But now I am here to redeem myself 😍😍
Welcome back!
Thank you, old man 😀 By the way, in the first round of elections from Romania, a guy just won it only by promoting on TikTok! That's how big it really is .. unfortunately 😱
Oh my, am listening Claus talking about people viewing social media shit for 7 minutes, my brain is dying..... Well, got grandchildren........
Ave Claus. Yes, it is getting out of hand with those kind of people. I had a younger collage who could not make a phonecall or have a conversation... becouse he could not interact with people "live". Phonezomies irritate me more than anything and they are everywhere. And the worst thing i find is that they lost there common sence, manners, and code of conduct as a human. They are, indeed, walking cattle who ones where human. Its a sad world out there at the moment.. 😢
Just like barn yard animals being fed
Limited attention span, that's why UA-cam has all these shorts now. The fear of Big Brother watching you. People willingly purchase and put these devices in their homes. Try this little experiment, say a word something marketable, repeat over and over during the day. See if some product ads related to this word pop up. Thanks Claus, good show.
So true unfortunately... Don't so a bright future for Humanity with this youngest generations...
Hey Claus - You are in good company. Review the life and works of Herbert George Wells, better known as H.G. Wells, from 1866 to 1946, so he lived through 80 of some of mankind's most technologically advancing years. Probably his best-known work is "The Time Machine," where in the far future, the Traveler finds the ELIO and the MORLOCKS. And the Eloi are just what you describe - simple, child-like people who eat only fruit and play simple games all day. They rightly fear the night when the Morlocks emerge from their underground factories (the underground factories allow the Eloi to live their simple lives) and feed on the Eloi. Wells published this in 1895, thus showing his foresight of upcoming events. Another insightful story was "The World Set Free," published in 1914, which predicted an atomic bomb (although its effect was more volcano-like than explosive). After learning about the atomic weapons used against Japan, it was reported that Wells wanted his epitaph to read:: "I told you so, you damn fools."
Regarding our reliance on modern technology, I suggest watching the BBC TV series "Connections" (1987) by British science journalist James Burke. It consists of 10 episodes where Burke picks 9 modern inventions and follows the zigzag path of past discoveries that led to that invention. Even the first episode is chilling - "The Trigger Effect" - as it deals with the technological trap that closed on New York City in 1965 during the Great Power Blackout that paralyzed the city and reached nine eastern US states and as far north as Ontario.
Just got the object 752 for the black Friday sale, it's decent, but the reload is so slow 😒
You're not wrong Claus, I know 30 year olds who cant carry a conversation because all their lives the only communication they have done is via IM
yeah you go to a restaurant and just about every 20 something has their face buried in the phone...hardly even acknowledging the waitress/waiter trying to get their order...also my son got t-boned in a intersection because of one of these zombies was looking at his phone and did not stop at the stoplight.He hit my son going 50 mph,luckily my son was not seriously hurt but his car he had just paid off 2 weeks ago wad totaled
hope your son is ok!
@@ClausKellerman yes he is fine ofc he has some aches and pains ,but what really upset him was the fact he had just finished paying off the car lol
wheres yuri been
Yuri with Olga and her big hands. Dah dah.
Good games you showed to us today and the last days.
In Being There, when Chance tries to turn the gang people off with his TV remote control. I expect a Gen Z kid to put his hand in front of my face and then swiping right to try to move on from me and my words.
Thanks for your support buddy!
The right side of the Bell Curve is necessarily a minority of any generation. Smart kids these days are incomprehensively brilliant. Who do you imagine fills the jobs at semiconductor fabs today? Young 400IQ propeller heads.
Alberta?! Hell yea fellow Albertan!!!
My Granddaughter is not like that she is 23 in the Navy married to a Navy guy! She has better things to do! She in law enforcement in the navy she wants to be an investigator! But lots and lots of them are stupid!!
Hello Claus, about the young person on the plane that you were talking about, there is a patent with screens, cell phones and home computers and TVs, to be able to manipulate people, and infer subliminal messages, or behaviors, + electromagnetic waves , + the mind-numbing videos, not for nothing that a large majority of people become stupid, look at the bus stops, they all have their heads tilted on their cell, good continuity, and thank you for your videos
Wow, that player grossed over 300k, too bad it wasn't a tech tier tank.
Claus...we are already there my friend lol.
Excess of everything is bad , but if you know how to use it , I don't think it's much of a problem.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Maybe he thought his young mind would turn to mush if he had to talk to the wild haired old man beside him. So he buried his face into his phone
Claus, when the guy de-planed was thick phosphorescent blue drool oozing out of the corner of his mouth as he stumbled to skyway?
I once did consulting work in Edmonton. 🤷
dear Claus and chat, sadly you forgot to talk about this normal guy, having an awesome game!....🤨
I only torture myself for roughly 20 minutes in the A M. with a cup of coffee and Klaus😮😢😅😂
It’s just faster brain rot, in my day I’d see the same with peoples faces jammed in a news paper, AM radio on all day etc. just like this game I assume everyone is a muppet
Playing world of tanks turns my brain to mush.
Yeah..thanks to TikTok, people nowadays have a 2 second attention span🤦♂
Deep video Claus. I felt it, personally. We're fucked for sure, UA-cam addiction is just as bad as Tiktok. As is gaming in general
They are the real phone zombie generation. :V
Can you image yourself how they become the next world leaders?
a few states have banned tiktok and I think we all should,its the dumbest crap
As a parent of a 21 year old, though there are many young people that fit your description, it is not universal. My experience think it’s largely an American problem. I’ve found European kids are much less this way.
Guy in tigermaus was 100% lucky no skill
TikTok is a social media equivalent of crack :D
I dunno Claus - i have been told the "thumbs up" is seen as passive aggressive now LOL
Consider this . . . that individual will have children one day 😮 imagine that 😂
Kids today.
They make WOT players look intelligent!
One millenial SHOCKS the entire claus kellerman community
Turning into Real life Wall-e or Idiocracy. Pick ur choice, No kidds playing with sticks anymore. 😢
Claus, in Europe, to my knowledge, there's not a single airline that enables internet on flights yet. If that even exists it probably is an expensive extra in business class or something. sounds like you guys in North America are ahead of us. But maybe that would be the answer to your problem - stopping the internet service on flights would be such an inconvenience that the TikTok generation would stop flying pointlessly around the continent. It would either be good for the planet if they did, or it would good for their social skills if they didn't - so a win win either way!
ZOMBIE NATION CLAUS
I have seen this staring at the phone crap everywhere. I would sooner sit up on the side of a mountain and watch nature and the world go by. Do you really post at 4am? That is some old guy shit there man. LOL
i like Claus today
I see that all day long Claus.
They can't breath air until they have a cell phone in their face.
They need the phone, addicted to the phone. Without it, their brains do not function. Reality, or the world around them takes a backseat to the phone.
I see videos, of the slums of the Philippines... The guy's walking through the tiny little back alleys and streets, filled with trash and garbage. Chickens, dog, cats, and a ton of kids!
But you see the young people... "Mostly girls," on their phones, walking along looking at them. Same thing in Thailand.
They look exactly like the kids in the US. That same mindless, cellphone like, induced coma.
Then add a vape habit, and girl problems. Distracted robots or future psychos. My thoughts were it's thinning the herd but now worried evolution
Every day I see this
Hey Klaus!
