It's also interesting to think of fomo in the context of social media as a content creator where there's often a pervasive sense of missing out on trends and getting left out by the algorithm
I am a millennial still experiencing a ton of FOMO (even during the pandemic, I would envy friends at some illegal raves - even though I would not want to do it and considered it not ok) and when I heard the fobia and psychoanalytic angle... It resonated a lot with me. Now I think that personally, FOMO is a proxy for my fear of life and youth passing away. I constantly keep thinking that in a few years, I will look weird and out of place in music club parties full of young people. Or that I won't have anyone to spend the time with (fear of social loneliness). So better go and do all those things while I still can, right? One thing I disagree - as you brushed it off - is the professional FOMO. It is definitely a thing and with one of my best friends we constantly joke about it, mainly in the context of conferences - but also reading academic papers, not being up to date. "I need to read those 15 papers or I could be missing out something important" (and it's irrational as typically, if something is important, I will "have to" read such a paper anyway)
I've been wondering for years why it is that I know the difference between edifying activity and distracting activity. I'll have to think through whether Ellie's framework of, "can this activity change me?" fits. Thanks for that.
Where did our professor go!? I feel FOMO!!! show yourself!!! youtube stopped recommend video made by you in the top btw, I special found you channel from playlists to check news.
Hmm well I thought about Klein when listening to second part of podcast when she written that. The desire is to be the desire is the Other. And I think in lacanian reading fear of missing out ties to almost everything but. Specifically two modes of fearing, one connected to death, which is the dilemma of a neurotic obsessive person, who tries to uphold this idea of immortality by procrastination or rituals, and neurotic hysteric, who follows what they think to be the desire of the Other, who asks the question what it means to be a non male position and enjoy this mystical jouissance coming from unspecified source, like in her Dora case.
What about the "lying flat" movement? isn't a manifestation of the inability to actively resist? relative to the ideas of Zizek or BChul-Han, that a revolution - in the traditional way - is no longer possible? very Hegelian - or Lacanian - ideas in the broad sense, affirm through the negation
You're incredible Ellie. Love your input and love listening to your interpretations. You're ideal. ❤

Off topic, but what is the girl-on-a-bed photograph you've used for the thumbnail?
My girlfriend misheard hustle culture as puzzle culture, which is an excellent JOMO community
