THE PSYCHOLOGY OF NOSTALGIA | DOCUMENTARY

DOCU is a documentary channel where I create a variety of original documentaries. My name is UNWENE. Thanks for watching. Make sure to like, share, and subscribe for more videos.
This documentary is about the psychology of nostalgia and its Greek meaning “nastos,” longing and “algos,” the past. I wanted to explore the reason why we crave the past through the lens of pop culture and childhood memories.

The original conception of nostalgia was a positive experience. I remember reading "tones" in a old rhetoric book and seeing nostalgia under positive. Didn't seem appropriate but it is because negative nostalgia is a relatively new phenomenon. Nostalgia used to have the "vibe" so to speak the of "I'm glad we did that our desirable outcome now was worth it" while there was still the longing toward the past it was with gratitude I try to actively incorporate that mindset when the nostalgia creeps up. I try to think of how rather than want to go to the past itself or associate the feeling towards specific things I try to think more in general and I think about how could I modernize that what is the new incarnation if there is one or if I could do something now that later on will be viewed favorably. I think that our biology still being neolithic because as long as history has been even the part of prehistory specific to humanity is significantly longer than history many times over. We haven't caught up evolutionary and to boot the rate of change of the rate of change has been ever increasing since our access to the most easily accessible industrial resources which we try not to think about it but it is an ending phenomenon and won't start again until green tech becomes refined enough to be considered overly abundant and easily affordable as fossil fuels once were while now still pretty sizable but extraction is becoming so much more of a required investment ooh side tracked but anyway the particularly quick period of the already quick rate of social development we are especially behind in our psychological fitness in terms of our biology. I think in our evolutionary journey our fondness of ritual was less a mere fondness and was rather a self preservation behavior reinforcing drive while today we see traditionalists and think them just so behind and out of touch modern traditionalism is actually crazy progressive comparative to most of our existence we had institutions that worked well enough for the most part and we used to have such an insurmountable opportunity cost prohibiting reevaluating things progressive thought used to need to have a greater guarantee of success we couldn't afford to be wrong and still today when experimentation is so low stakes people still say "ain't broke don't fix it" previously when things worked well enough you had better believe were where going to make it a hardware baked in irreplaceable fixture in our society ritualizing it would ensure that the new generation would be instilled with the beneficial consequences cause they were going to be instilled with EVERYTHING about it whatever it was about it that was beneficial we probably didn't have any clue and we didn't need to either. We developed the mindset that we need to impress upon our progeny the experiences of our own youth except things are just so entirely different mechanistically the old knowledge become more durable scrolls was a big leap in this especially increasingly the old ways didn't need remembered they could just be read increasingly the circumstances of optimal success became transient just so fleeting. Our still neolithic brains recoil at the thought of the old ways evaporating we still associate the beneficial elements as inextricably part of the entirety of the tradition. We gotta use our frontal lobes though we need to wise up we need to dial in on what about the past was actually valuable and dismiss our kneejerk reaction to assume everything about it was objectively the best. The blind ritualistic devotion needs to be replaced with the reincarnation recursive adaptation of old ways to fit modernity. In name alone we are doing this well we aren't parsing the elements correctly the reboots are not so much reimaginings as they are crude imitations with a shallow façade of modernity. New Star Wars is old Star Wars but new you would think but when you realize that old Star Wars was King Lear reincarnated and how little surface level Lucas's work is to Shakespeare it becomes painfully obvious how lazy and incompetent rebooting is. We can't blame the market though for giving us what we want either it is kinda our own faults when we have such a shallow evaluation of our beloved nostalgia. Good news though is we can once realizing that do what we need to do we need to rewrite more than reread or rewatch I think blips here and there that occurs spontaneously in a reboot usually after many failures to reboot in-between but let's get both nostalgic and creative. Before we try to reboot we must really work hard on the reboot and based on UA-cam video essays there are already a lot of people doing media deconstruction extremely well. That is my proposition for the reboot of the positive nostalgia that the current nostalgia reboot the negative kind dropped the ball I got a good feeling about it you'll gonna make great things

While I agree with some parts of this I'm sure that in hindsight I'll find it much more intuitive via nostalgia 😅😅 I actually loved my 80s childhood and am clear on many details of it so I still live in that world because this new reality I find stupid, while I do take advantage of its technology, culturally It's a wasteland made up of rehashed attempts at rebooting the original things I love so I rather have the original, I have a shop that sells retro toys, I'm a Magician in vegas, work in the adult industry, collect all kinds of memorabilia, I used to own and drive around the original A-Team Van I help put together 80s themed attractions as a creative consultant etc so I see no reason to leave behind what I loved when I can create my own world and at the end of the day we all live in our own reality on some level mine just happens to be my livelihood!!
