Emo Dojo‪™‬ John Emotions

This episode was written and performed completely by AI. As if you couldn't tell. That's because robots lack attunement with humans. Worse, ChatGPT-style “AI” just learns from what is already out there on the internet — trash.

Soon, more recycled GPT AI will be out there. GPT will be learning from itself like some backwoods fux from Deliverance. I mean, look at the cover art for this episode. I told AI “make a smiley face using a yin yang symbol.” WTF is THAT??

Are people so desperate for “content” that they'll settle for monotonous noise derivative of itself? This episode is a timely gimmick. John Emotions is not a robot. More info and current socials available at EmoDojo.com

John Emotions talks about “authenticity” when it comes to content creators. He covers Performative Authenticity like scripts, editing, staging, and calls to action; Curated Authenticity like holding back most of the bad stuff and keeping the content neutral or good; and Oversharing/TMI which is often seen as weak, negative, or attention-seeking. John wonders aloud if the Observer Effect makes true authenticity impossible in the age of webcams and hot takes.

John Emotions overshares his long-running challenges with ADHD. Once diagnosed in grade school, John's parents let the ADHD go untreated until John became too much to handle, and they both banned him from their respective homes by age 14.

Later, after years of relative success masking as normal, John's marriage ended, leaving him in an emergency psych ward where they "diagnosed" him with bipolar disorder after about 20 minutes.

This misdiagnosis led to ten years of psych meds that did not work, because bipolar meds do not work on ADHD. Hyperactivity is not mania. People suffering from severe ADHD cannot sort these things out alone.

Brother G, suffers from ADHD and has a similar background to John with one exception; Brother G inherited money and doesn't have the pressure of working. This espiode covers some of the important differences money and supportive relatives have on the outcome of a kid with untreated ADHD after they become an adult with ADHD.
