Tim Ferriss: “Wear the Mask Long Enough, You Become the Mask”

This video segment from The Shawn Ryan Show features Tim Ferriss discussing the 'motivational trap,' where individuals are driven by social media hype and performative achievements rather than genuine progress. Ferriss highlights how younger generations may be more aware of this illusion compared to older ones, who often fall prey to vanity metrics and online approval. He explores the concept of audience capture, warning about the potential for one's identity to be reshaped to fit online rewards, ultimately replacing the true self.
