The World Is Not Designed to Wake You Up — Why Staying Asleep Is the Default Setting

The system you live inside is not neutral. It is optimised for consumption, addiction and distraction — and it works best when you stay exactly where you are.In this episode Jonathan Doyle draws on his postgraduate background in global economic systems to make a confronting argument: nobody profits from your potential. The platforms were deliberately engineered for addiction. The culture is calibrated for passivity. The entire architecture of modern life wants you sitting quietly on a couch, consuming content, while the moments pass, the years pass, and your life looks the same or worse than it did a decade ago.Waking up is an act of rebellion. Nobody is coming to do it for you — because nobody is paid to.There are ideas you have, businesses you can start, relationships you can build, people who need you. Don't sleep through it.Enquire about booking Jonathan to speak:https://jonathandoyle.co/Connect with Jonathan on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/jdoylespeaks/Jonathan is on Youtube here:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpCYnW4yVdd93N1OTbsxgyw
