NOTE

Danger of Hyper Selection in Personal Reality

Having the ability to hyper-select every aspect of our lives can be damaging because it prevents us from experiencing healthy friction that can aid in human connections. By being able to choose everything we want, we miss out on the opportunity to learn to get along with different qualities and people. This excessive selection can lead to ignoring discomfort and the need to adapt, creating a reality where individuals can avoid confronting challenging aspects of life. The speaker highlights that modern technology allows for extreme personalization, even in absurd scenarios like finding support for unusual desires, which raises concerns when applied to critical topics like health, education, and societal issues.
