Recently I was in Moscow on business, and one insignificant fact attracted my attention. During football, during a 15-minute break, the same advertisement for the remedy for impotence, in which Sergei Shnurov was broadcasting that he was the "Terminator", slipped 10 times on Channel One. "Why worry so much?" - I thought.:) Having gone to study the causes of illness and male anxiety, I ran into an interesting course of ASMR, or Autonomous sensory meridional response. And this, I can tell you, is a very unusual topic!

Wikipedia word:

Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is a term that has arisen in Internet culture for a phenomenon of perception characterized by a distinct pleasant tingling sensation in the scalp or other parts of the body in response to certain visual, auditory and (or) cognitive stimuli.

Many video and audio recordings aimed at causing ASMR contain elements of role-playing games. Examples include simulating a haircut, visiting a doctor, or cleaning your ears. Viewers and listeners of recordings in which the authors act out such scenes note the effect of ASMR, which relieves insomnia, anxiety and panic attacks.

If scientific language is as difficult for you to understand as it is for me, then this is what happens. Millions of people in our countries and hundreds of millions around the world, plagued by anxiety, panic attacks and other unpleasant ailments, sit down in front of their computer monitor and turn on YouTube. In it, they find channels in which girls and guys, speaking in an intimate whisper, do some ordinary thing. For example, one girl tells you 45 minutes that the classic suit she is stroking is just right for you:

And the most interesting thing is that this video was watched by almost 2 million people.

Russian girls keep up with the trendy relaxation trend. I would say that they are the coolest. Here you, with whispers in your ear, will be "cut" (100 thousand tonsured!):

Here your head will be examined and a massage will be given (almost 400 thousand examinations):

And here you will be opened a foreign passport (160 thousand passports have already been opened!):

And everything is like that. If it seems to you that something incomprehensible is happening, then put on headphones in the video with a head examination … Yes, it will become very uncomfortable, and yes, it will become even more incomprehensible.

But we should all always remember this, whether you like the idea of ASMR or not:

• stop watching tvand “transmission of hatred” in the evenings;
• instead of this take a walk, run, readsmart books, mess with kids;
• don't think about nations and cultures, think about Peter the Ukrainian, the Armenian Armenian, Arthur the Azerbaijani, Mike the American. We are not scary and we have a lot in common;
• do not be afraid of the atomic bomb: to die at the epicenter of its explosion is the most painless kind of death;
• watch an old movie, love stories, not images.

Be healthy, love girls and guys and make the world around you a better place. Even by shooting an ASMR video. Not the worst thing to do, you must admit.;)
