  Speaker 1: Have you checked it out yet? Arrow dot net. It's
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: more than just a podcast. It is several different podcasts,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: one of them being Forest Stories. I live in a
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: beautiful forest right here in South Charlotte, North Carolina, A
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: gorgeous lake, a slow moving stream. But where did it
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: come from? What is the history of this forest? If
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: we would just take the time to share those stories,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: That's what Forest Stories is all about. From Arrow dot
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: nete dot net. Enjoy your exploration. Hey, what's going on?
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: It's that guy that's always asking questions because it's really
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: fun to research for answers such as has there ever
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: been an invention where the human being wore out its welcome?
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Plus food plays a very important role in this game
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: of overuse and abuse. My name is Arrow. I'm a
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: daily writer, a silent wolf. That means I stand on
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I call it the Daily Mess because it's a chronological
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: walk through an everyday world. It is my morning writing
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: as a receiver of thoughts and ideas. We as people
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: tend to throw things to the side because we all
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: think we're gonna deal with it later on. Well, when
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: a subject arrives inside of me. You drop everything and
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: get this monkey jotted down, because you know what, it's
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: still keeping that daily journal, and by doing the research,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the picture will become clearer. This is the daily mess.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Have there ever been any inventions where the human wore out?
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: It's welcome, Oh my, my, my, my mind. You know,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: it's not always the invention that went bad. It's how
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: we tend to overuse and misuse things and then push
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: it from our public view. Digitally speaking, Facebook, Instagram, and
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: TikTok first started out as tools for human connection, but
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: over time, we as people felt like social media addicts.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: We became distracted as well as isolated because of our
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: actions and reactions. This is where doom scrolling came into being.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: The digital platforms haven't failed us, we are extremely guilty
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: of overusing them. Guess what else made this list of
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: things that humans have worn out? Cars and trucks, cities
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: have become congested, polluted, and urban design. It just can't
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: keep up with our reasons to endlessly change. It's who
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: we are. I mean, look at the twenty four hour
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: news cycle and what it's done to us. It's generated
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: a constant need for urgency. And oh my god, look
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: at our anxiety. It's encouraged sensationalism and left the majority
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: of us completely exhausted. Coming up next, what else are
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: we going to find on this list of things that
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: we have totally worn out? Does it include food? Hey,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: welcome back to the daily mess human beings that do
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: what human beings do best. We are beautifully designed to
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: really overuse a lot of stuff, and that also includes
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: ultra processed foods. I mean, there was once a time
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: when McDonald's and Taco Bell were really fast. When it
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: came to take out food, diets changed every bit of that,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: as did portion sizes in the act of getting back
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to real nutrition. Guess what else is on this list
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: of human abuse? Nuclear technology? Oh yeah, the human realized
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: it had created something way too destructive to morally justify
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: its existence on the planet. It is said that nuclear
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: technology is one of the clearest cases where the invention
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: outpaced the human wisdom. It's not that we as humans
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: wear things out. We are just guilty of changing the
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: department of overextending our stay. We always underestimate the long
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: term effects. Then we find ourselves in a position of
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: having to discover and rediscover this thing called balance. There's
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: no such thing as a bad invention. It's horrible human patterns. Mmm.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I'm Marri Owen. That's the daily mess.
