*What is Your Hamster? The thing distancing you from reality *

The insight from the snip is about understanding the concept of 'What is your hamster?' as a metaphor for the thing that allows individuals to distance themselves from reality. It highlights a scenario where a man's psychological breakdown only occurred after the death of his hamster, not his wife. The discussion questions the role of distractions like TikTok, Netflix, alcohol, gambling, extravagant food, and video games in keeping people disconnected from the reality around them. The premise is to contemplate whether individuals would be more attentive to the world if these distractions were to vanish suddenly.
