An Israeli professor spoke out in a recent video about the current mental and emotional deprivation of today’s youth, how they are programmed to seek stimulation and consume, while being deprived of meaningful relationships and purpose-driven work. Sam Vaknin, author of Malignant Self Love: Narcissism Revisited, said that today’s youth are “walking dead” and living in a dystopian hell.
Article by Lance D Johnson from Natural News.
Vaknin is deeply concerned that the up-and-coming generations are being trained to seek the most convenient path, one of constant stimulation, one that provides a constant escape from reality. This spiritually-deprived culture is leading to short attention spans in relationships, shallow conversations, a lack of intellect and meaningful engagement. Hobbies and careers are no longer pursued with discipline, determination, and loyal ambition. Critical and analytical thinking have dissipated. Talents are left unexplored and interests are abandoned as digital distractions and a constant stream of dopamine rushes take precedence.
Developing brains are being short circuited by a constant stream of digital distractions, as young brains are stimulated into perpetual dopamine rushes through the mindless gossip of social media, the algorithmic information streams and advertisements, countless new apps and entertainment channels, click bait visuals, video games, and other addictive excitements engineered by the tech world.

Tech culture is creating a generation of victim-minded narcissists who seek self-intoxication and self-gratification
Professor Vaknin warns that this tech-driven, zombie culture is creating shallow people who have “flat speech” that lacks depth and context. He sees a youth that is constantly programmed to activism, yet the integrity of these movements is flat out fake, represented by intoxicated, impulsive individuals who are mindlessly repeating the next most popular victim-mentality. Vaknin says that their actions do not matter. “The heart matters, motivations matter,” he says. In order for the world to change, individuals must change from the inside out.
The world only changes for an individual when they take ownership over their life and assume responsibility for their own shortcomings and failures. Many young people emulate “action” and support causes, but these shallow actions only regulate their mood and feed their pleasure, nothing else. Each person should work on themselves, if they want to see change in their reality. This real change cannot take place if the individual is mindlessly following the next trend, emulating victim mentality, with their emotions programmed into self-intoxication and self-gratification.
From a very young age, kids are being pacified by apps and games on a cell phone or tablet, detached from real life that is happening all around them. As social media and gaming addictions drive these short circuit connections, young people lose their purpose and desire for understanding, and are further detached from their true emotions. As a result, their conversations lack depth, their relationships lack emotional intimacy, as their interactions become robotic and shallow. These addictive dopamine rushes only short circuit cognitive development, developing neuron connections that put the brain in a cycle of stimulation-seeking behaviors and attention-getting personality traits. As brains are trained to seek quick gratification, low attention spans result, leading to learning and behavioral deficits, disappointment in reality, deepening depression and ultimately suicidal thoughts.
In 2019, more than 47,500 people committed suicide, a tragedy equivalent to one death every eleven minutes. According to the CDC, 12 million people think about suicide every year, with 3.5 million making plans to take their own life. Approximately 1.4 million people make an attempt to take their own life, every year. (Related: Fight depression with these 15 tips you can use today.)

Most “Conservative” News Outlets Are on the Big Tech Teat
Not long ago, conservative media was not beholden to anyone. Today, most sites are stuck on the Big Tech gravy train.
I’ll keep this short. The rise of Pandemic Panic Theater, massive voter fraud, and other “taboo” topics have neutered a majority of conservative news sites. You’ll notice they are very careful about what topics they tackle. Sure, they’ll attack Critical Race Theory, Antifa, and the Biden-Harris regime, but you won’t see them going after George Soros, Bill Gates, the World Economic Forum, or the Deep State, among others.
The reason is simple. They are beholden to Big Tech, and Big Tech doesn’t allow certain topics to be discussed or they’ll cut you off. Far too many conservative news outlets rely on Google, Facebook, and Twitter for the bulk of their traffic. They depend on big checks from Google ads to keep the sites running. I don’t necessarily hold it against them. We all do what we need to do to survive. I just wish more would do like we have, which is to cut out Big Tech altogether.
We don’t get Google checks. We don’t have Facebook or Twitter buttons on our stories. We don’t have a YouTube Channel (banned), an Instagram profile (never made one), or a TikTok (no thanks, CCP). We’re not perfect, but we’re doing everything we can to not owe anything to anyone… other than our readers. We owe YOU the truth. We owe YOU the facts that others won’t reveal about topics that others won’t tackle. And we owe America, this great land that allows us to take hold of these opportunities.
Like I said, I don’t hold other conservative sites under too much scrutiny over their choices. It’s easy for people to point fingers when we’re not the ones paying their bills or supporting their families. I just wish there were more who would make the bold move. Today, only a handful of other major conservative news outlets have broken free from the Big Tech teat. Of course, we need help.
The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring proper news and opinions to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal or Bitcoin as well. Bitcoin: 3A1ELVhGgrwrypwTJhPwnaTVGmuqyQrMB8
Our network is currently comprised of nine sites:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Truth. Based. Media.
- Freedom First Network
- Based Underground
- Uncanceled News
- American Conservative Movement
- Conservative Playbook
- Our Gold Guy
We are also building partnerships with great conservative sites like The Liberty Daily and The Epoch Times to advance the message as loudly as possible, and we’re always looking for others with which to partner.
Some of our content is spread across multiple sites. Other pieces of content are unique. We write most of what we post but we also draw from those willing to allow us to share their quality articles, videos, and podcasts. We collect the best content from fellow conservative sites that give us permission to republish them. We’re not ego-driven; I’d much rather post a properly attributed story written by experts like Dr. Joseph Mercola or Natural News than rewrite it like so many outlets like to do. We’re not here to take credit. We’re here to spread the truth.
While donations are the best way to help, you can also support us by buying through our sponsors:
- MyPillow: Use promo code “NOQ” to get up to 66% off AND you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
- ZStack: Improve your immune system with the Z-Stack protocol or rejuvenate your body from vaccines or shedding with Z-DTox by Dr. Vladimir Zelenko.
- OurGoldGuy: Tell them JD sent you in your request to buy gold and it will help us… AND (wait for it) you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
- MyPatriotSupply: Stock up on long-term food, survival gear, and other things that you’ll need just in case things don’t recover and we keep heading towards apocalypse.
We know we could make a lot more money if we sold out like so many “conservative” publications out there. You won’t find Google ads on our site for a reason. Yes, they’re lucrative, but I don’t like getting paid by minions of Satan (I don’t like Google very much if you couldn’t tell).
Time is short. As the world spirals towards The Great Reset, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going. Our promise is this: We will never sell out America. If that means we’re going to struggle for a while or even indefinitely, so be it. Integrity first. Truth first. America first.
Thank you and God Bless,
